“My horse hates me!” my client was almost in tears. She and her husband had a dream of keeping their horses at home and enjoying riding the trails on their property together. When they called me for help, they weren’t riding, and were even losing confidence handling their horses.
Their dream had become a nightmare.
This client now calls me their “Equine Relationship Therapist”. Instead of being afraid of their horses, she and her husband now confidently handle all of the horses and are finally riding together. Instead of feeling frustrated and just doing the chores that come with owning horses, they are having fun. They even feel like their horses love them just as much as they love their horses.
If you’re like my clients, you love your horse, but sometimes you feel like your horse hates you. You’re losing confidence. You’re frustrated with your lack of progress. You’ve even thought of giving up.
You’ve recently started or returned to riding. You’ve been focused on raising your children, pursuing your career or both … and now you’ve finally got the time to do this.
You’ve bought your first horse or you’re starting over with a new horse after many years with a reliable partner … and it’s not how you thought it would be.
You’ve been riding for a long time but now it’s different. You get nervous. You’ve had a fall, have been or are worried about getting hurt. You have so many responsibilities that you can’t afford to be injured.
The advice you’ve been getting just doesn’t feel right. You don’t want to use force or gadgets to just make him do it. You wish there was a better way.
I work with horsewomen just like you to help you achieve your dream partnership with your horse so that you both feel CALM, CONFIDENT AND CONNECTED in any situation. I help you to:
- understand why your horse does what he does so we can find and eliminate the root cause of unwanted behaviours. Without using gadgets or force.
- be more balanced, supple and relaxed in the saddle so your horse can become more balanced, less resistant, and easier to ride.
- build the partnership of your dreams knowing that your horse enjoys being with you as much as you enjoy being with him
Wouldn’t it feel amazing if your horse responded willingly to your most subtle cues – from the ground as well as in the saddle.
Can you see yourself riding your horse easily and comfortably – balanced, relaxed and in tune with each other?
Wouldn’t it be fantastic to have an alternative to the “just make him do it” training methods.
All that is possible! I can show you how to achieve it.
Just like a human relationship therapist, I see things from both sides, find the reasons for the problems and give you both the tools you need to have a healthy partnership. I teach you how to:
- Speak the Same Language – You’ll learn how your horse interprets your body language, what you need to do to make your message understandable, and how to accurately read his body language. As your communication improves, so does your level of trust in each other.
- Play by the Appropriate Ground Rules – You’ll learn how to set clear, consistent and appropriate boundaries that keep you safe, and make your horse feel calm and comfortable with you. By knowing how and when to move your horse (it’s not just about moving his feet), you’ll also earn his respect and trust.
- Develop Positive Posture – You’ll learn how to build the best posture for you and your horse so that you eliminate stress, stiffness and resistance – on the ground as well as when riding. You’ll be completely in tune with each other.
Are you ready to have the calm, confident and connected partnership with your horse you’ve been dreaming of? There are several ways we can work together:
- in person through private, small group lessons or clinics at your location
- virtual coaching using video and phone
- confidence boosting sessions by phone
