January 2009 ~ Rider Horsemanship Newsletter


Rider Horsemanship's Liberty & Freestyle Demos were a HUGE Success at this years Maryland Horse World Expo!

Thanks to everyone involved, Caroline Rider had the opportunity of a lifetime with her two horses, Legend and Smokey at Timonium’s Horse World Expo. She was asked to fill in one 10-minute vacant spot each day during the Parade of Breeds. She and her horses were so well received that her 10-minute demo became a 20-25 minutes, twice a day!

The expo was a first for Caroline and her horses. Thanks again for all your support and interest!

For those of you interested in learning how Caroline has achieved unity, partnership and harmony with her horses, in such a short period of time, sign up NOW! She is offering 3 and 5-day Tao of Horsemanship Workshops (clinics). Please CLICK HERE for more information.

What is the Tao of Horsemanship all about?

It’s about a mindful approach to creating oneness, partnership & harmony between you and your horse.

Study with Caroline and you will learn how to communicate, and work, with your horse – easily and naturally, without force, intimidation, dominance or punishment. When you work with what your horse gives you, you allow for joy, exuberance, play, companionship and partnership to show up.

Caroline’s approach with horse’s centers on her Tao of Horsemanship philosophy. This DVD Series focus is on developing and refining essential awarenesses within you. Once we are more conscious and aware of where we need to be, when and why with our horses, anything is possible! You will learn:

  • Awareness & Embodiment Exercises
  • Why Approach has to Happen Before Technique is Applied
  • How to Be More Aware of Your Body Language and Your Horses
  • How to Be More Aware of the Many Levels, and Subtle Nuances, of Language and Communication Our Horses Exchange with Us All the Time
  • Where to Be for Our Horse, When We are Needed and Why We're There
  • How to Develop Levels of Softness, Feel & Communication through
    Our Aids
  • How to Inspire, Motivate and Capture Your Horse's Attention and
    Keep It
  • And So Much More!



Introducing Anne Clemson,
Approved EPONA Instructor!


I am very pleased to introduce my friend and fellow clinician Anne Clemson, Principal & Lead Instructor of Equinimity, LLC - www.equinimityllc.com. As an Approved EPONA Instructor, Anne is now conducting Equine Facilitated Human Development Workshops!

Equine Facilitated Human Development (EFHD) is an interactive learning format that actively engages horses in facilitating the learning experiences of humans. Horses have the uncanny ability to mirror human emotions – anger, sadness, grief, fear, anxiety, and even joy and happiness – in the moment. They’re emotional barometers. Studying and interpreting a horse’s response to our behaviors can provide healthy insights into one’s own mind-set, enabling adjustments to be made that allow for a more positive interaction. The lessons learned during EFHD workshops or individual sessions are then applied to our daily lives.
