Testimonials

"Christines's approach is, in my experience, unique & highly effective. After spending considerable time studying the differences between humans & horses, this took me back to commonalities and shared secrets of existence. I have been encouraged to explore my intuition and instincts, to 'feel' my way through my interactions and to listen deeply, without judgment or criticism, without agreeing, disagreeing or analyzing. This has helped elevate my relationship with my horses to a true partnership.

I see more clearly now that communication truly is a two-way thing & that receiving information is as vital as imparting it. The time and place for discipline has become clearer and my horses are responding positively and willingly. They look at me now with affection and curiosity rather then tolerance & frustration.

I have made a lifetime study of horsemanship, in any form I have found it. I've studied 'conversational' & 'natural' methods, ridden for pleasure & sport (polocroise). I've earned money from riding racehorses and have along the way absorbed a mountain of information, learnt skills & techniques and tried many programs. All along I've known there was something missing, the 'something' that characterizes the exceptional horseperson. In the last six weeks I believe I have discovered the key to the 'something' and every moment I spend with my horses now is a joyful journey and a precious gift.

Thanks Chris."

"Since the course I look at my horses with fresh eyes and feelings.I try to communicate mentally with them and cut out some of my "chatter". I am more aware of them and I feel calmer when I'm with them. It's the first steps along a different road

I have taken on - and am practising - the issue of living in the moment, without letting "what ifs" or "maybes" cloud my mind; of becoming still in my mind and bing aware of my effect on my horse. It has made me aware of my attitude towards my horse, of guiding my horse into what I want him to do, rather than demanding.

The course has made me aware of how I want my horse to be, and keeping that in mind no matter what others think I should do. I have been shown several things in my personality, that I was not aware of, that only hinder my relationship with my horse - and the goals I hope to achieve. I have come away feeling very "refreshed" and will endeavour to hold all these things close as I spend time with my horse.

Thank you very much for having us - I discovered so much and feel so revived - and I'm sure my horse has a big weight off his shoulders!!
