Beyond Horsemanship
Stress - Anxiety - Depression - Inhibition
Humans, Horses, Dogs or any other animal can suffer from any of these conditions.
These conditions are created because of many factors. Such as, Over stimulation, Limited stimulation, Resistance, and Lack of knowledge and understanding.
Working through problems and situations with animals, communicating with them through our thoughts and actions, helps us see things in a different light. It gives us a better understanding of things in ways we never could dream possible. Each and every success builds confidence. Which in turn removes Fear and Inhibition. Therefore relieving and\or curing any fear or worry based condition.

Working with animals, or people, the relationship is the most important aspect. Our primary focus is to learn to understand all the wants, needs, thought processes, and emotions in us and others, in order to create a relationship that is meaningful, productive and beneficial to all.
Problem Solving
Everywhere in life we run in to problems we need to work through in order to solve them and move on.
In Horsemanship and using the Tai Chi principles in Horsemanship, we try to address problems in ways that they work themselves out. By using least resistant methods, Only the needed energies will be applied. Least resistant, helps remove resistance. Once the resistance is removed, the problem tends to work itself out.
There are always problems and challenges in life. Why not learn new ways to face them?
