MODULE 1
Horse Psychology
Understanding where horses are coming from is an essential part of creating meaningful relationships with them. This includes understanding:
- Horses as a species
- Horses as individual and emotional beings
- Horses in the human world
This module dives into how horses think, learn and process information, as well as understanding the natural instincts of horses.

- The body language of horses
- The keys to body language
- Body language in every day interactions
Discover how horses converse through body posture, positioning, distance, movement, expression of body parts, energy and intent.

Communication is a meeting place for two beings to share their thoughts, perceptions, emotions and experiences. How you show up matters, so let's explore:
- The language of energy
- Self awareness
- Understanding impact
By creating harmony within our own minds, bodies and spirits, we open the door for harmony in our relationships with horses.
