I studied and practiced natural horsemanship techniques for many years, but never fully agreed with all of the methods. I dont like instilling fear into a horse to gain his or her respect, nor do I want to use movement (i.e. moving the feet) as a punishment or means for control. So I created Respectful Horsemanship, which utilizes some of the ideas and techniques behind natural horsemanship, but takes into consideration the natural language of the horse, the beauty of subtlety, and a mutual respect of boundaries.
This clinic will be very hands-on for participants and will dive into a variety of different ways to work WITH your horse on the ground instead of against them. There’s not a need for dominance and submission when you have a two-sided partnership and respect on both sides. From trailer loading to standing still to leading past scary things, Respectful Horsemanship has a solution that will feel good to you AND your horse for years to come! |
