Language of the Horse

Language of the Horse Intensive Study
(Pre-Requisite: Language of the Horse Foundational Course)
This is a once monthly course which meets for four hours, from August through January. We will travel to various barns where we will study the herd dynamic of the horses in other management styles. Together, we will work with a horse at each facility, integrate ourselves into the herd, and balance the dynamic. Participants must have taken the Language of the Horse Foundational Course, the Level 1 Horsemanship Training, OR have the equivalent experience of herd observation with the AOR program. ( If you are wondering if you have the necessary experience to participate in this program, please contact me directly. )

Round Pen Foundational Course
This is the introductory course to either review skills you have learned in the past and/or learn new how to work in the round pen for the first time. It is helpful if participants have attended a Language of the Horse Workshop or course, as we will reference the herd dynamic, but not study it. Participants will begin learning round pen and how to experience an authentic connection with Level 1 horses, but throughout the course, have the opportunity to work with advanced Level 2 and Level 3 horses. We will also study the behavior of a guest horse, to compare their responses and reactions to a seasoned AOR horse.
