Discover the Leader Within —


Saturdays, March 19th - April 2nd (3 weeks) from 10 am - 1pm

 
To enjoy safe, successful, and thriving relationships with horses, we must be welcomed by them as their respected and trusted leader. It can often feel difficult, however, to be assertive and to communicate with clarity and strength. This multi-week course will help you identify and shift whatever is blocking the full expression of your confident inner leader who is congruent in mind, emotion, and body. Participants will study the horse's natural language, learn valuable communication skills and techniques, and connect with both horses and themselves in a profound and gratifying way. Participants will be introduced to using feel, timing and intent as they ask a horse to respond in partnership through round pen communication. Join us as we open to the horse's terrific wisdom on the journey toward our best self and ultimate partnership with the horse! Special rate of $250 for a limited time.
