Apprenticeship
& Certification Programs
Rider
Horsemanship Apprenticeship Programs are tailored
to meet the individual needs, and nature, of
both human and horse. Whether working with your
own horse, or with those already in training
at our center, you will have the opportunity
to learn and discover the following about you
and each horse you encounter.
Our program focuses on assisting those that
want to grow inter personally while learning
the way of the horse. We can assist you in building
confidence, trust, and clear communication skills
while engaging with horses. Our Taoist approach
provides the space and learning environment
for individuals to shift their consciousness
while expanding their inner spirituality and
power.
No matter where you are in your horsemanship,
the Tao of Horsemanship approach will enhance
your ability to connect and communicate with
horses more deeply, consistently and easily.
This approach to Being and doing with horses
begins within us first by bringing awareness
to the following core elements necessary to
mastering ourselves and our horsemanship: being
conscious, aware and present within and around
us; understanding and manifesting the power
of our personal energy and emotions; understanding
and manifesting the language of the horse through
clear and congruent mind/body integration.
Our first module is designed to shift paradigms
within us, mindsets, so that we become what
our horses need: better partners and leaders.
What does that mean exactly? When broken down,
it is quite simple actually. But when applied,
it can become challenging for us as we are shaping
and changing deep rooted patterns, ways of being
and doing that we have accepted as truth without
question. When we begin to shift, questioning
the old and allowing the new, our horses can
facilitate our growth, helping us depart from
what no longer serves us well. Simply put, our
horses are amazing guides (and teachers) to
interpersonal enlightenment, self awareness
and personal growth.
