My Horse and I
​  How to get clear about the partnership you want, reach it and enjoy keeping it. 

1.Clear Boundaries

What are they, how do we set them, what happens if they are challenged?

2.Soft Hands

Holding without restricting, soft not ineffective, contact not conflict.

3.Beginner's Mind

What is it, why is it important to my horse and I.

Through a mix of classroom based exercises, practical group and individual tasks together with hands-on training we will look at in-hand, distance and ridden aspects of training your horses. We will also look at how we evaluate and manage ourselves. 
 22th September
​10.30 to 3.30pm. Course fee is £75.
     Course Fee includes lunch, refreshments and a stable or paddock for your horse during course time.

A view of the course from its creator Lynn Chapman

​All of these photographs are of me at home interacting with my own horses. I think it is evident I enjoy their company and I feel its mostly mutual! None of these horses were home bred, nor started by me and all came with past histories. They had quirks and hang ups that led to them needing a new home. You could say they were all misfits. Each was and remains an individual, has been handled and retrained as such and has taught me so many lessons along the way. In my experience the more you put into a relationship with your horse the more they return.
This course is aimed at simplifying the process of building, deepening or rethinking your partnership with your horse so it becomes tailor made just for the two of you, as individual as you both are.  
​If you are seeking ways of establishing a relationship with a new horse or simply the head space to re-evaluate where you are with your horse, here is the course. It will be thought provoking, there may well be tears but I guarantee it will be a fun.
