Harmony with Horses





 

Have you always been intrigued by the magnificent horse?  Have you longed
to make a connection with them in a natural, meaningful way and in the process
gain some valuable insights into your own human nature?  If so, come join us
for this introductory course that is part natural horsemanship clinic,
part life coaching session.


Major Objectives:
    ~ Learn the basic principals of Natural Horsemanship
    ~ Gain a healthy understanding and trust between human and horse
    ~ Build insights about major life issues such as trust, boundary
       setting, communication, authenticity, leadership, intention, intuition
       and confidence.


Tentative Spring 2012 Schedule:

Saturday, May 12   10:00 am - 2:00 pm
               

Cost:  $89

Bring a sack lunch to enjoy on our deck overlooking the beautiful foothills.


NOTE:  This is not a riding course.  We will spend time doing groundwork
and working with my small herd in an intimate way not often found in the
fast-paced, high pressured world we live in.  No previous horse or riding
experience required, but even if you have horse experience, you may learn
some new concepts about communicating with them that will help you view
horse and human relationships in a whole new way!

Student Testimonials


I felt this was a moment of breathing and connecting with something far greater than me. Where life often feels breathless and out of control, I needed the time to slow down, be at peace with a majestic animal, and get to know myself a little better. -S.M.


I loved Kate's clinic. She's very warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing her wisdom within these intimate clinics. I came away from her charming little farm feeling that not only had I been taught some very useful skills in natural horsemanship that will surely strengthen the bond and respect between my horse and me, but I also gained some insight into myself, and learned how I can apply the fundamentals of natural horsemanship to improve relationships in other areas of my life. -M.E.

It was a life-altering encounter -with Belle, with you- that I will always treasure. -B.H.

This clinic did a wonderful job of giving me more confidence around horses. I discovered the importance of clear communication, clear boundaries and trust both with the horses and in my personal life. I also found ways I could improve those areas. The horses were a wonderful mirror into the "real me" not the "me" I think I am. -K.G.

 

I enjoyed a day of bonding, sharing, and learning with my favorite things in life, girlfriends and horses. I loved hearing the other participants share their life experiences. Everyone brought such different background and personalities, yet we were all there working toward common goals. Kate did a great job of facilitating, organizing and presenting a fun and enlightening day!

 

I had a great day and learned a great deal about horses and myself. Thanks for the experience. -M.S.
