CONNECTION CLINIC 3
23-25 September 2016
Missing Concepts Series
Connection Clinic
Missing Concepts Series ~ this series of clinics is targeted at thinking individuals who
feel that there are elements missing in the industry or who feel that ideas are very
separate and don’t tie together well. Each clinic targets an area of confusion/misunderstanding. Participants must complete the Connection clinic or each clinic in turn, before being able to participate in subsequent MCS clinics. Without a foundation of Connection, our work is empty, but with it, we can truly dance!
Connection Clinic ~
This is the first clinic in the Missing Concepts series of clinics. A connection is the foundation of all future interaction with an equine partner. (Different to "just working a horse") In order to have any hope of achieving progress in our relationship with, and "training" of our horse, we need to have an understanding of how to connect with our horse - on all the levels that matter to them (not us). This is a concept often overlooked in the equine industry. Fortunately we have tools available to help us better understand and communicate with our horses.
In this clinic we hope to reveal what creates a connection between horse and human and
how to balance the various schools of thought.
What's on the program:
Equine body language
Human body language
Mirroring
Motivation
