1-8 Day Clinics Thought provoking clinics to deepen your connection, understanding and communication.
Group Coaching includes Body Awareness, Sensitivity Training and Horsemanship at a profound level on topics chosen by the group Each student and horse will work at their own pace on the ground, ridden or liberty. These clinics are specifically for small groups with an emphasis on individual coaching with the group. Martha has a gift for sensing subtle braces in students and always has a way of enabling the student to feel this themselves and allow release. This empowers students to improve at home without relying on the watchful eye of a trainer to guide them. You become your own trainer through improving your feel. My aim is to enable students to feel which movement or exercise will help your horse best at any moment. I want students to be able to feel why a horse is struggling - is it mental, emotional or physical? Is the handler bracing mentally, emotionally or phsycially? Is it pain related, fear-based, old pain memory, habit, just restricted? Through feel we can create the best training experiences, not just for our horses but for ourselves.
