Relationship based Art Of Riding
The training for both horse and rider is based on a deep, genuine relationship and togetherness, Connection-based communication which means having a deep contact with the horse's mind - Spirit, Mind & Body.
Connect with horses from the heart and train your horse in the Relationship based Art of Riding® from Liberty to Piaff® via SPIRIT – MIND – BODY through a deep connection with the horse.
IN FREEDOM – AT HAND – BINDLESS CLASSICAL DRESSAGE with The Art of Lightness, – without traditional pressure and yielding methods – Touch Connection®.
Relationship based Art of Riding® originates from an ancient work where the handling methods used were rooted in matriarchy, i.e. women had the power in family and society and whose relationship-based cultures were once common.
These caring cultures gave rise to a concept of beauty, symmetry and divine interconnection which was the philosophy of Pythagoras which led to the creation of the teaching that would become classical horsemanship.
Through this method there is no resistance. A habit is created in the horse's mind that encourages it to seek harmony with the rider. The horse seeks the rider's touch and follows that touch where it leads and both are free to express themselves. The relationship with the horse is the core of riding with thought transference, feeling and ease. A training of the horse through a holistic way of working to achieve unity and consensus from the original holistic holistic view from ancient times.
The ancient understanding, first described as far back as Xenophon, offers the inspiration and origin of what came to be called classical horsemanship, academic riding and classical dressage, but this goes much deeper.
The training is based on a deep relationship and authentic communication based on the relationship between mother and child, between mare and foal and on authentic leadership. It is an unconditional love, kindness and softness that gives both horse and rider grounding and trust. Through the Freedom Work, Work by Hand and the Art of Riding that follows, the idea is to take it slow and achieve a togetherness, where we do not base the training on scientific learning methods that are based on negative reinforcement in the form of pressure, discomfort, fear or pain, but work horses from the heart and let our love for the horse be our guide and let ourselves be guided to excellence.
