Holiday on the farm & horse communication course
You will be accompanied on this course by Ina Vargiu, a student of the renowned horse trainer Monty Roberts, from whom she received her training as a non-violent horse trainer. This course combines the concepts of Monty Roberts and the methods and experiences developed by Ina Vargiu. It is aimed at everyone, both horse people and those who are approaching this animal for the first time. Topics include horse psychology, communication with the animal, ethology and the intraspecific relationship between humans and horses. The aim is to spread knowledge to achieve better coexistence, because no matter how well things are going between you and your four-legged partner, things can still get better!
In the basic course, which includes 8 units that are carried out in 4 double units, we start with the theory and then work with the horse both, in the arena and freely in the round pen. We are given specific knowledge, such as the connection between instinct and anatomy, the importance of leadership in the herd, the terms flight animal and herd animal and what do they mean in reality? We learn to communicate with the horse in its language, i.e. in non-verbal body language, and to recognize its gestures, which are often barely perceptible to humans. The result of this course is the acquisition of basic knowledge of horse psychology; being able to communicate with the horse using our body language to create a new collaboration. This ground course teaches you how to confidently take on the position of herd leader. Because leadership can be learned and is essential for a good relationship with our horse.
