Modern life with its vertiginous changes, urgencies and permanent demands is making us lose fundamental values. We live mired into the confusion of everyday rush and with the feeling that emotional well-being and happiness is part of the past.

Humanity has had a friend since the dawn of time, which keeps, in its way of life and socialization, the keys to recover those lost values and approach to life.

Come and share with us two days of full immersion into the world of horses. We are sure that their “teachings” will help you recover the joy of celebrating the sunrise every day.

 

Characteristics of the Gathering:

Gathering and not workshop

• Because we encourage a dialogue between all those participating so learning happens in a fluid and enjoyable way. We do not feature lectures, structured classes or skills shows.

Exploratory

• Nobody has absolute truths – knowledge is in a state of evolution – understanding of horse behaviour and its relation with humans is grounded in several, often diverging, concepts, views and theories.

We explore the Equine / Human Frontier

• Knowledge of horse from a human perspective

• Knowledge of ourselves through our relationship with the equine world and the way horses relate to each other in the herd.

How do we do it:

Active participation

• Questions, comments, suggestions, stories, doubts…

Open mind

• Be receptive to hear multiple views without making inmediante judgments – respect the opinion of others.

Here and now (Mindfulness)

• We work in the understanding and developing the basics of “Mindfullness”, a key to “talk” to the soul of horses (and ourselves)

The Program:

Nature and Behavoiur of Horse

• Understanding horses based on their origin and interaction with their surroundings
• Herd behaviour and individual “personalities”
• Diging the historical roots of the complex relations with humans
• Horses vs. Humans: What we share and what sets us apart
• Current “schools” and approaches to the equine/human relations
• Towards a “colegial” equine/human partnership

Languaje and Communication

• Decodifying the “verbal” and non-verbal language of horse
• What do we (humans) communicate to horses with our body language
• Reading herd interactions and communications

Education and Horseback Riding

• Foals: imprimting and bonding from early days
• Geldings: togetherness, distance, respect and hierarchies
• Horses and Stallions: how to educate for good riding while keeping the soul of the horse in plenitud
• Mares: breeding and foals raising

A Window into our Souls

Through out the three modules we will be identifying and discussing how horse behaviour and social life can help us “see” and undertand (improve) our own behaviour and life with others.
