Connected Horsemanship
Feel the power of horsemanship when relationships
are equitable, secure, and flourishing
No matter your level of horse experience, you can develop a stronger relationship with your horse based on deep connection and trust—and free from power, domination, and control—whether your partnership with horses is recreational, professional, or clinical.
Our 3-day Connected Horsemanship training is a personalized experience that’s designed to meet you where you are. Whether you’re a seasoned horse person, or are just getting started, we will discuss your individual goals, and help you develop a plan for achieving them.
Our trainers offer decades of experience with a variety of horses. They will assess and guide you and your horse to work on exactly what you need to continue to enhance your unique relationship (whether it is brand new or decades old!).
As your skills evolve, your relationship with your horse will deepen, and so will your experience at Connected Horsemanship. Since there is no pre-set agenda, each training unfolds in response to what your relationship needs that day. You could return again and again and always learn something new!
Why Natural Lifemanship? There are plenty of places to learn horsemanship skills, however, none carry the deeply healing and consciously humane values of Natural Lifemanship.
