Horse Speak- Everything horses say to each other they say to us. Horse Speak Senior Instructor Heidi Potter will teach you how to listen to what they are saying and how to respond in a way that they can understand. A few basic “vocabulary words”, a willingness to listen, and an open heart and mind are all you need to enter the conversation. Learning Horse Speak includes workshops in theory, interactive exercises with humans, herd observation, interpretation, and communication with horses. Learning the basics of Horse Speak is guaranteed to take your horsemanship skills and all you do with horses to the next level. You will see horses differently for ever more!
Horse Agility & Stress-Free Obstacle Play- Learn the sport of Horse Agility based on the International Horse Agility Club of England. It all begins with in-hand leading skills and progresses to obstacle play. Discover how best to support your horse and help him become a more confident, trusting partner as you play! If you attend with your own horse there is an option to proceed to mounted obstacle play on the third day. Participants with leased horses will continue to apply new-found skills on the ground.
Riders Choice Monday- This optional day is for those who want a private or semi-private session with Heidi to expand on their retreat experience. Choose Centered Riding lessons, Problem Solving, either on the ground or in the saddle, or further development of the weekends many lessons.
