"If I've seen farther than others, it is simply because I have stood on the shoulders of great teachers." (from "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari", Robin S. Sharma)
This is how riding horses all started! Relationship Riding© is more than just another riding and training technique with a gentle approach. It is a whole philosophy incorporating ground work, riding and changing our beliefs and assumptions when working with horses. Based on techniques centuries old, Relationship Riding© demonstrates how a strong relationship based on trust, respect, honesty and love can help you achieve your equine goals no matter how big or small. The secret lies in being a good leader based on what horses need to see in a leader, not what humans assume they need. "You may think you are being a good leader, but if your horse shows any signs of not trusting you and/or disrespect, misbehaving in any way, than you are not the leader your horse needs." B-A King. Relationship Riding© challenges conventional methods and although very natural to all horses, this technique presents a certain challenge to humans. Letting go and allowing the magic to happen between horse and human is easier said than done. As far as our equine friends go, once they've experienced Relationship Riding© they very seldom want to go back to the traditional methods used by humans. Relationship Riding© is for everyone; young and old, experienced or not and this applies to both horse and humans. It is a simple yet very effective technique. Results are guaranteed!
Relationship Riding© is a magical and spiritual journey to be shared with a very special animal, the horse. This is how it all started many centuries ago. |
