Courses and workshops in Horse Listening
Horse Listening workshops demonstrate how posture, body language, thought
patterns, emotions and external stimuli can affect how your horse behaves and communicates with you. These workshops
give the horse owner / rider the confidence to communicate safely and appropriately with horses, to generate a better relationship. They also provide an introduction to some basic Kinesiology techniques
as means of assessing for physical and emotional imbalances, plus techniques to re-balance the body and enhance
well being.
These
workshops and courses are designed and facilitated by Jo Rose, who is a British Horse Society registered Intermediate teacher,
natural horse and rider trainer, and complementary health practitioner / teacher.

Baldock. Caroline worked closely with Monty Roberts for four years on his ranch in California, and co-wrote his first four
books with him. At the certificate level, Jo works with Caroline, Terry

Student
testimonials:
'The Horse Listening course clearly demonstrated to me clearly how much my horse picks
up on my emotions and wariness. As we relaxed and started to enjoy the exercises it felt like we connected properly for the
first time. It was also fascinating to observe how other people's personality affects
their interaction with horses.' Sarah C
'I feel now that will be able to know Breeze in a way that I never thought possible
, and truly communicate with him, and him with me. Its truly magical.' Emma P
'I
would highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to gain a better understanding of subtle connections in the body,

Corporate workshops: Enhancing communication skills through Horse Listening. Horse Listening workshops
demonstrate how posture, body language, thought patterns, emotions, stress and external stimuli can affect your
leadership and communication skills in the workplace. Horse Listening can give you an insight into the real you; how you act, react and interact with colleagues and
business associates, and teach you techniques to improve self awareness, manage stress, enhance leadership qualities, and
communicate more effectively. Caroline Baldock worked closely with Monty
Roberts, internationally renowned Horse Whisperer, in California for four years. She helped run many
of his corporate based workshops and co-wrote his first books. Caroline's
input is based on experience gained during her years with Monty, plus many more years working with
both people and horses. She is incredibly insightful in reading both people and horses. Jo, who is Kinesiology practitioner and teacher, incorporates aspects of Kinesiology into the workshop,
helping you understand how your body reacts to stress, how others are affected by your stress, and what you can do to
manage this. Jo also has many years experience reading subtle body
language between horses and people, and teaching riders how to improve their communication skills. Participants in the course are given tasks with horses to help
them understand the importance of good leadership and communication skills. It is amazing what people can learn about communication through listening to horses. Jo and Caroline run these workshops in Sussex, Surrey and Oxfordshire. 'The workshops are a great way to observe human behaviour and to see how people often unknowingly mimic
the behaviour of those around them, and to realise how important environmental factors are in our behaviour.' Sue Davidson,
Civil servant 'Its amazing how our emotions affect those around us, including the horse. The horse's
responses were so clear. In business its so important to have that awareness.' Louise Makin, Chief Executive of
a London company Cost: From £60 per person. An attendance of 6 - 8 people is required. Accomodation
and food can be arranged. For more information on the format of the day, please contact Jo on 01273 299611 / 07989 505264.
