Relationship-Centric, Consent-Based Foundational (Re-)Training for a horse who loves being with his/her humans because s/he feels safe, understands, and is willing & able to do what is being asked, and learns how to self-regulate their nervous system in a world built by and for predators. (This work is largely informed by Warwick Schiller’s Attuned Horsemanship.)
Classical Dressage Training for a horse who is supple, well-aligned, balanced, moving joyfully, well-muscled, and who carries the rider in a way that does not compromise their body, for the best possible shot at long-term soundness (This work is largely informed by Anja Beran.)
Certified Equine CranioSacral Practitioner for our horses’ optimal physical and emotional health, using gentle touch and the body’s own wisdom and capacity to heal. (This work is largely informed by Tom Mayes Integrated Equine Therapies.)
Nervous System Understanding / Trauma-informed Training and Holistic Biomechanics for horses and people with compromised patterns to learn to interrupt and change them. Holistic Biomechanics allows riders to align and follow their horse’s motion from the inside out, working with their facia trains rather than putting one shoulder here and one leg there… (This work is largely informed by Jane Pike’s Joyride program.)
Please note: No amount of training can make up for a horse in distress because his basic needs of forage, friends, and freedom aren’t met, or for a horse who is in pain.
