Co-Creational Horsemanship Clinic with Hatha Equus
June 14-16, 2024
Ever felt like your horsemanship journey was more about commands than connection? You're not alone. Many skilled horse owners know their horse can physically perform, but deep down, they question if their horse chooses the partnership or just complies.
Imagine a Bond Where Your Horse Runs to You, Ready for Adventure.
Our Co-Creational Horsemanship Clinic offers you the blueprint to guilt-free horse-owning, a relaxed and empowered horse, and a peaceful togetherness that feels like a shared meditation in motion.
We are so excited to host the amazing horse-folk, Giorgia Ghizzoni of Hatha Equus. If you haven’t yet stumbled upon them, we recommend you check out their instagram and facebook.
