Riding Programs
Riding Programs are designed for the recreational and competitive riders to provide a deeper relationship and connection between horse and rider.
Many problems that riders experience have more to do with the rider (energy, emotion, and thoughts) than the horse.
- Competitive Riders work with us because they feel there is something missing in their relationship with their horse, a lack of harmony or connection, or they wish to excel in greater levels of subtle communication.
- Recreational Riders want to blend an understanding of the nature and spirit of the horse while expanding their own awareness.
- Novice Riders long to be with horses in a riding capacity that is not focused on technique, but instead connection.
Riders who work with Kathy want to:
- Connect deeply to horses
- Develop a way to manage their emotions while riding
- Release fears or limiting self-sabotaging behaviors or thoughts when riding
- Develop confidence and enjoy horses more
- Move through performance blocks
When working with Kathy riders experience an increase of emotional and energy awareness in relationship with horses in additional to;
- Increased confidence and focus
- Higher levels of ‘feel’ with their horse
- Higher levels of abilities (both recreationally and competitive)
- A deeper connection and synchronicity with their horse
- Expanded states or awareness and connection
- Higher levels of leadership with horses
Kathy came into this body of work through her own path of healing from an accident with a horse. To become a confident rider she had to learn how to control her mind and emotions as she returned to riding. Through continually practicing body awareness tools and processes she released fears based in the past, and was able to move forward with more confidence. The horses she worked with became more co-operative and calm.
Kathy offers extensive training and experiences in body awareness techniques from her past as a massage therapist and polarity therapist. She is an avid yoga practitioner and has written a book about the chakra system. Her eight years as a life coach provides a solid foundation of empowering individuals to move beyond their limitations and blocks to success while integrating mind, body and spirit. Her new project, a mustang named Corazon, helps her to fine tune her relationship and communication skills in order to experience a relationship based in trust, harmony and flow.
Kathy’s programs are unique in that they offer processes and tools that help humans understand the invisible or energetic relationship between horses and humans. Several exercises (both mounted and on the ground) help the rider to integrate their communication skills with their horse. Worksheets and reading materials help the rider to understand how to utilize their emotional responses in a productive way to build trust with their horse.
