Horses have a great deal to teach us about the benefits of mindfulness, connection, congruence, and service-based leadership. Heart Centered Horsemanship is rooted in the philosophy that respectful, mutually-beneficial relationships are better for both horse and human. This model is effective in horse training as well as equine assisted learning programs, leadership training, and team building. It is based on setting and respecting boundaries, listening and responding in the present moment, learning to recognize how we are affecting others and adjusting to restore trust and connection, communicating clearly and effectively, and practicing tension-release techniques to facilitate mental and physical relaxation. I integrate groundwork, liberty work, bodywork, centered riding, and dressage principles to create a relaxed, harmonious partnership between horses and riders of all levels and disciplines. This approach facilitates confidence, safety, and relaxation both on the ground and in the saddle. Equine experiences can be designed to accomodate groups and individuals based on their unique needs.
