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. 

Horse Listening workshops also utilise this subtle communication to provide horses with choices that may help improve and maintain good health.  We include simple techniques from Kinesiology to demonstrate how to keep rider and handler's bodies balanced, and influence the horse positively.

Workshops cover a wide range of equine topics, from subtle communication to equine bio-mechanics, provided by the above teachers. 

Please contact us for more information, or visit the course diary page for upcoming workshops.

Horse Listening in Business
Horses are incredibly honest in their opinions.  Through observing their body language you can learn a lot about yourself.  Our workshops with horses can help develop true leadership and team player qualities.

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, and to expand their practical knowledge in equine well-being.  We received an excellent balance of information, advice and practical experience in a supportive and friendly environment.' Suzanne R
 

'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
