About the class

Immerse yourself in equine communication with Belinda Bolsenbroek as she delves into the profound significance of establishing a true partnership and solid language with horses right from the beginning. She highlights that being a safe rider is not solely determined by skill, but rather by the quality of the language shared with the horse.

🐴 What to Expect:

  1. Groundwork and In-hand Work: Lay the foundation of language through groundwork and in-hand work, where the horse learns to respond and stay connected to the human. Embrace moments of pause and hold space for the horse, especially during times of anxiety or unwanted behaviours.
  2. Calm and Peaceful Demeanour: Instead of resorting to confrontations, maintain a calm and peaceful demeanour, understanding that the horse's reactions are instinctual and driven by survival.
  3. Beautiful Partnership: Cultivate a foundation in holding space and finding peace, allowing a beautiful partnership between horse and human to blossom. Belinda draws a captivating parallel between this partnership and that of a war horse and a well-schooled warrior, emphasising strength, composure, and clear communication.

🌿 Benefits:

  • Patience and Understanding: Instill patience, understanding, and self-awareness to establish a strong foundation and forge a deep connection with horses.
