Description

Relational Horsemanship

Lessons in listening start where you’re at.

• Develop deep listening skills
• Hone awareness through all the senses
• Foster light, grounded, positive inner presence

After booking, you’ll be contacted to schedule an interview to talk about level of experience and goals, in order to discern if Peaceful Horse Relational Horsemanship is the best fit, and we go from there. Training takes place at our private pasture, outdoors. All lessons are on the ground.

The Approach, Level 1

We begin with our contact-free baseline with the horses. We respect that you may have prior equine education and experience. This is going to be a new, micro-focused approach that continues to refine, even throughout all the levels. We are going back to an ancient way of exchanging information with the horses that will enhance your previous equine experiences, but prior knowledge is not required. However, an open mind is. How quickly students move through each level is very individual and is best thought of as an evolving spiral development rather than linear. Our rescued horses lead the way, with Erika as your guide and interpreter. More details are provided as to The Approach process during the initial interview.

The Offering, Level 2

Building connection. Students start to see a shift, with enough of the foundation of The Approach, they are able to offer their touch to the horses, still at liberty. A wealth of communication and nuances are presented as students offer their touch to horses at liberty.

The Well of Connection, Level 3

Having developed the required deep listening skills at a distance and supervised contact at liberty, students then learn to interact safely together with our horses without pressure. In the future, students will have the option to bring their own horse for class time.
