WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR SESSIONS

Your first session will last up to an hour and a half to give me an idea of how best to work with you and your horse as well as to familiarise you with the way we're going to go about creating this bond. Subsequent sessions may be an hour depending on what is required.
Each horse-human combination is different and your time with me will be tailored to your needs. If you've lost your confidence with either your horse or yourself it's probably reciprocated and will need to be addressed before we go further. You'll learn:
Your
emotional state affects your horse more than you probably realise and
learning to understand your fear, frustration or self-doubt in a positive way is an
important part of your relationship with your horse.
As an energy psychologist specialising in emotional health I'm well placed to help you understand these emotions and will teach you how to support yourself between sessions with some of the valuable life tools I use in my practice. |

Working with your horse at liberty gives him the chance to express himself and for us to initiate simple interaction in his own language backed up by positive reinforcement at all stages. He learns it's safe to express how he views himself in our presence and allows us to find the best starting point and how to proceed.
In my experience it's the most effective way to build confidence in both you and your horse and to allow him the opportunity to show us what he understands and likes and what he's nervous or suspicious of. Only when you have this understanding can any sort of training take place with ease and fun on both sides. When we act empathically to gain his interest and confidence he responds. When a horse chooses to be close to us in a non-invasive and peaceful way at liberty, then you know you're on the way to a great experience together. 
Thank you Safaya for showing me a way to work with a horse in complete synchronicity with no agendas or expectations. I feel that through practising this that both myself and my horse will far exceed anything I ever thought was possible and I am excited to start living this in my riding. Anthea Myburgh. South Africa
