Learning the Horse's Language

Is your horse is experiencing something, but you cannot pinpoint why or what it is?

Disillusioned with hurried, obedience demanding horse training "solutions" and prefer an empathetic based understanding to develop quality interactions?

Are you frustrated, overwhelmed, or uncomfortable mimicking aggressive or crticial horse training methods rather than using considerate discernment?

Common Horse Behavior Problems

"My horse is difficult to catch..."

"The more I try to not cause my horse concern, the worse he reacts..."

"When we are in an unfamiliar location, my horse becomes a nightmare..."

"My horse always is tense..."

"I constantly anticipate and worry about what my horse will do next..."

"My horse is completely herd bound..."

"I thought my young horse's training was going well, and now he avoids all interaction..."

"I still have issues loading my horse into the trailer... despite 'trailer training'."

"My horse is pushy and if try to set boundaries or use the strong communication I was taught, he acts aggressive..."

The horse’s mental and emotional state is reflected in his behavior.

— Katy E, AZ, USA (2024)

“Another great moment with my submissive, formerly herd-bound horse, Sunny… When I looked at Sunny from a distance and did my whistle, she walked away from her buddies and came up to me. This all started with your trust-building technique. We’ve had a really great summer of trail riding… thanks to you and your method.”

— B.B. Melbourne, AU (2025)
