Building better and healthier relationships with our horses is the aim of
our natural horsemanship classes. Tackling specific problems are also examined
and worked with if requested.

Understanding your horse,
understanding yourself
workshop/ individualized lessons
We expect horses to learn our ways, our requests and our methods. We communicate with horses in our language.
Understanding how a horse sees her/his environment, and interprets our presence, our requests and our actions, bring
greater rewards and outcomes in horse training and problem-solving.

Who is who?
workshop / individualized lessons
Problems in handling and riding your horse can result from
'juggling' who will lead and who will follow in your relationship with your horse.
Horses are genetically
programmed to interpret differently from us.
Learn the body language and communication skills that establish you as an effective
and trustworthy leader.
This workshop will look at:
- Do you 'juggle' leadership with your horse?
- How can you maintain leadership?
- What will make a horse accept your ongoing leadership?
- What is your body language communicating to your horse?

About Felicia Allen
"Horses are a gift to humans and a gift like no other."
There was a time when horses were beat into submission and fear was what made a horse do what its handler wanted.
Natural horsemanship strives to understand the horse's language and to develop the horse's confidence and trust in
its handler. Only a horse that can trust, respect and not fear its handler will want to co-operate, be relaxed and receptive.
Horses that respect and trust their handler will also try to anticipate their handler's requests and will help the individual
in difficult situations, with instinct, intuition and sensing what to do.
This natural willingness cannot be manufactured, forced or beat into a horse.
This is the
gift that a horse imparts to a handler whom it respects, trusts and likes.
I grew up with a classical horse education which has served me well. Working and coming to know horses through-out my life made me realize
that there is a very special relationship that a horse understands and respects. That same relationship will make the horse, on its own
volition, try its best for you. The horse wants to be your friend, the horse wants to be with you and the
horse will try its best to make you happy.
Learning to listen and
communicate effectively earns a horse's respect and trust. Learning what our body language is saying (and horses watch your body language continuously),
makes it possible to express
effectively and be safe.
Natural Horsemanship is a bridge between human and horse, one
on which we can walk together.
