Group workshops aimed at people who work with horses for:

• teaching riding of all disciplines
• theraputic riding
• Equine Assisted Psychotherapy & Learning. 

These workshops are designed to raise our awareness of what we are bringing to each session with clients. We all handle a horse exactly as we handle life. As equine specialists we are not exempt from this phenomenon.

We all have our fears, beliefs, attitudes and expectations with what are the ‘right’ things to do with our horse. 

What is ‘right’ can then vary from city to city, state to state, country to country and of course, the equestrian discipline we follow.

When working with clients around our horses we become very proficient at seeing what is happening with our clients; then the question has to be asked as to how proficient are we in seeing these things in ourselves or is it easier to hide behind our horse knowledge.

This workshop will explore the dynamics, communication and leadership qualities that the equine specialist needs to be aware of when dealing with their horse and how it can affect the horse in a session with our clients.

All forms of horsemanship can be challenged. 

This challenge comes by way of looking at situations from the horses’ point of view.  The way the horse views the horseman and his outward expressions (doings) of the internal workings. In other words, "how good are we at taking the medicine that we freely dish out to our clients?"

The aim of these workshops is to further develop the professional skills we have with horses and people for the betterment of our clients learning.
