Horse Communication – Horsemanship-type training

There are many excellent books on improving the relationship between rider/human and horse, the only shortcoming is they frequently seem to focus on teaching horse training techniques without also focusing on developing the personal awareness of the rider/human handler. Horses communicate with each other and us using quite direct body language, and read the same language in us as they do in each other - often we are simply not aware of this, and so may inadvertently cause confusion, fear, stress and even anger in the horse.
Communicating effectively with horses also need not be something reserved for the few 'horse whisperers' or animal communicators - it is at the disposal of each of us. This simple, yet powerful language of understanding can forever change the working partnership between rider and horse.  Learn how to read your horse more accurately, communicate more effectively, and have a relationship that brings joy.

Course Format (½ –day)

A number of courses will be on offer this year at Mizpah Farm Retreat

If you would like to invite 5 friends and host a course, as host and organiser you attend for free. Contact us to book dates and discuss further details.

Private Lessons (1 – 1 & ½ hrs)

This gives you an opportunity to learn while working with a horse and the facilitator one-on-one. You also have the opportunity to work with your own horse. These lessons/sessions can be at Mizpah or where you keep your horse. We would focus on the areas of communication you would like to improve on and also specifically with your horse.
