Heather Kitching - www.learning2ride.com

I use training techniques and principles that are based on the horse's own system of communication and behavior, principles that are based on their "nature." Horses communicate through body language and establish their hierarchy based on who can push whom around--whose personal space is respected and whose isn't. To stay safe, the horse relies on the herd dynamic and the concept of advance and retreat, or rather retreat and advance. I utilize all of these concepts, integrating them into my training program. I speak the language of the horse to establish myself as the leader of our herd of two and then make sure to prove myself worthy of the job. For example, new and potentially scary things are introduced in the horse's own "advance and retreat" fashion so as to build trust and reduce fear. The horse sees that I understand it and that I make sense to it--I'm speaking it's own language. Thus a true partnership can start to form.
