Welcome to Energetic Horsemanship and an approach to horses that will deliver success, fulfillment, and joy for both you and your equine partner.
Energetic Horsemanship is a method of managing and working with horses that focuses on multi-level communication to achieve harmony and co-operation between you and your horse.
When we communicate with horses in a way that closely resembles how they communicate with one another, training and handling become much easier and safer for us and makes our horses feel happy, safe and secure.
Why Energetic Horsemanship is So Powerful
Horses communicate using body language and this is now incorporated in many training methods. However, communication within the herd goes much deeper than that and also works at an energetic and intuitive level.
When we focus our energy by controlling our thoughts and emotions, we have a profound effect on our equine friends, because we’re working in harmony with their natural instincts.
Harmony means happy horses and happy people.
I have seen many examples of poor communication between horses and their handlers, resulting in frustration and unhappiness on both sides, and in far too many cases it results in emotional trauma for the horse.
When a horse becomes confused, anxious and fearful he loses his ability to focus and learn and becomes spooky and over-reactive. This often results in his handler over-reacting in fear and/or anger which makes matters worse and creates a vicious circle of unwanted behavior. The partnership deteriorates until the horse is moved on to someone else and in many cases becomes labelled as difficult or dangerous.
When you start to communicate with the horse in a way that he can understand and respond to positively, you develop a bond that brings joy to your partnership. Achieving this becomes easy when you adopt the principles of Energetic Horsemanship.
