Deceleration & Focus
Being a week student gives you the unique opportunity to live on the yard with a view on the horses and grow together with your own horse, no matter the direction – from husbandry, ground work to riding, therapy & rehab, mindset andmany more!
Your horse lives in full livery next to my own herd in a paddock with shelter, 24/7 hay and water. We can also arrange for grass turnout, you only have to bring your own hard feed.
Individual approach – directed towards you and your horse
As an Equine Scientist (BSc & MSc) and Equine Sports and Rehabilitation Massage Therapist (ESMT) I emphasise a holistic approach to all things considering your horse.
I work without any “aids”, such as side reins, due to the force they exert on the horse. Instead, we seek and create a dialogue with your horse — seeing eye to eye — which offers space for connection and growth, in ease and balance.
You and your horse are welcome to dive into Science for Soundness with me — no matter which discipline you follow.
holiday with your horse
For a whole week you will join me during everyday tasks around the yard and horses. You can peek over my shoulder whilst I am working my own horses and follow me to sessions with clients and their horses. This gives you a unique experience and the opportunity to make full use of my knowledge. Of course all of your questions are encouraged and answered.
On top of that you will receive one session with your own horse every day — if you’re here without your horse, you may be assigned one of my horses, depending on your experience level and approach.
During our sessions we can dive into any topic that your heart desires, for example:
- horse-human-connection
- communication from the ground
- ground work
- loose work
- lightness in the saddle
- biomechanical issues and how to aid your horse in resolving them
- specific problems
- equipment
- mental blocks whilst being/working with your horse (such as fear)
- your mindset
- herd behaviour
- creating a goal or vision for/with you and your horse
- and many many moreÂ
