What is Holistic Horsemanship?

Holistequine Holistic Horsemanship aligns the body, mind Spirit of the rider with the body, mind and Spirit of the horse

To have a successful partnership with and be respected by our horse we first need to develop certain leadership qualities.

Only when we have the qualities such as courage, self-esteem, fearlessness and a powerful sense of focus will our horse trust us unconditionally

To understand what Holistequine Holistic Horsemanship is all about we first need to appreciate the evolution of horses through to Natural Horsemanship.

Natural Horsemanship is seen as the progression from sterner ways of managing horses in the past to the gentler, more compassionate ways of training and horse handling that we see today.

Holistic Horsemanship too is all these things HOWEVER the variation with Holistequine is that it puts the "Holistic" element back into horsemanship.

Together with a deep understanding of our horse the Holistequine approach places an equal importance on conditioning the rider.

When we mount our horse we naturally become the horse's "leader”; he must trust us with his life.

To achieve leadership status our purpose/ willpower/spirit must be in alignment with our mind and body. However it is just as important to work on establishing a deep understanding and bond with our horse that gives us the compassion to tune into his or her "needs?"

We consider aligning the body/mind/spirit ^* of the rider as being one of the most important factor in Horsemanship. Once this balance is achieved everything else follows on from that.

^* Holistequine interpretation of "spiritual" is a practical one. Our Spirit means our "will to do", our "higher purpose" or our intention which we believe needs to be in alignment with our horse, just as importantly as our mind and body is.

Only when these factors are working together do we get co-operation, harmony and balance in our riding.

The Holistequine W.B.I. interactive exercises focuses on………… training the rider while training the horse.

Once our 3 factors (body, mind and spirit) of the horse and rider are balanced we then become a harmonious unit

All our training exercises are radically different from anything that has gone before it.

The Holistequine exercises work at a very subtle level; we have found that by adjusting our "controls" at this higher energetic level of "will" or Spirit we begin to see some amazing results.

Using a Formula 1 racing team as an analogy, a finely tuned car is essential, however it is the driver who must not only be physically fit but his state of mental discipline and focus need to be honed to perfection. It is this mental strength which ultimately decides his performance; he must improve his skills mentally and be in the ZONE.

At Holistequine we too see a need to develop these same mental and emotional skills... we call this state of awareness the "Metazone".

When we are around horses it is important to be in this fully focused state (or Metazone) as it not only gets the horse's attention but also his respect and more importantly his compliance.

By changing "who we are" we become a powerful energetic force; the horse responds to this change in our "being" and... Magic Happens.

At Holistequine we begin to understand horsemanship as a “unity of force fields” establishing a powerful focus that can be used to our advantage while training.
