Building Partnership in the Horse-Human Relationship
Clear leadership. Deeper connection. A better way to communicate with horses.
Join lifelong horsewoman Alane Freund for a 90-minute, hands-on exploration of Holistic Horse Training, followed by an optional Barn Work Party with the Heart & Mind Equine herd.

This session focuses on building partnership in the horse-human relationship. Discover how understanding your horse's natural communication, social relationships, and individual needs can help you develop mutual trust, respect, and cooperation.

Drawing from natural horsemanship, TTouch, equine behavior and herd dynamics, and Alane's own Holistic Horse Training exercises, we'll explore practical ways to communicate with horses through leadership that is clear, kind, respectful, and connected.
