WHAT MAKES OUR PROGRAM UNIQUE:

Creating a bond that is deeply rewarding for both horse and rider, requires passion, commitment and a heartfelt curiosity to learn new ways of being in relationship with horses that does not require dominance or breaking a horses's spirit. We know this. We teach this.

(1)

This course is not about performance or ‘getting a technique right’. It is about learning new ways to engage horses in a way that is so much more respectful and rewarding. Letting go of pre-conceived notions, and quick 'conclusions' about what horses think and feel frees you up to be more curious and explore new ways. 

(2)

This course offers guided practices for you and your horse that develop your authentic presence. This is your horse’s barometer for whether he/she can rely on you and trust you. It doesn’t matter how much experience you have or what type of horsemanship you do, there is always something new to learn in the finesse and art of communicating with horses.

(3)

Working with cues from the inside out--asking with energetic and intentional cues first and foremost—creates a lightness and engagement you cant get with tools and gimmicks. Traditional tools and techniques are secondary, and only used when needed and applied with integrity.

(4)

 The energetics of body language and one’s attunement of mind/body and spirit either relaxes or scares a horse. It’s about studying the nuances of your inner intentions with a skilled mentor. You’ll gain new insights to what cues a horse actually listens to. For example, if a person questions or doubts that the horse will go into a horse trailer, the horse hears the doubt, the question mark, and thinks, “If you aren’t sure, and you question this trailer than I shall too.”

The more you see the horse as a mirror of your inner intentions and energetic tone, the more insight you glean into how you are actually showing up distinct from how you think you are. Sometimes it is hard to figure this out on your own. What part or lack of flow is the horse and what part is coming from you? So, we will study this together.

(5)

We’ll go over tack review and discussions. Often times, your tack is causing stiffness and  resistance. Different horses have different body dynamics, way of moving, and training history. 

(6)

Lighten up! Being too stiff or controlling with the plan or agenda for your training session can cause undue conflict and strain. The more control you think you need, the more stiff and resistant your horse becomes. Learn how our 'horse time' method gets better results.

(7)

Each horse is an individual with its own unique needs, historic experiences, personality traits and way of expression. With Ariana’s mentorship, you will gain insight into the subtle components that makes your horse unique and what kind of timing and cues work best for your horse.

(8)

Re-discover the magic and lightness of being with horsesThe magic is there. It's waiting for your curiosity to enter into a more intuitive way to communicate with horses.
