WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Eliane, CA
Wow! Last night's webinar was absolutely invaluable. Each topic you discussed, the examples and explanations were immeasurably worth. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to attend, I learned so much!
Mary, IN
Thank you for modeling a kind of interaction with your horses where they can bring their full selves. So unlike how many still believe that the respect you need as leader requires great distance and separation rather than union with these amazing guide beings we are privileged to have in our lives.
Davey Lee, CA
I am so thankful to have these tools to use! Trying the lessons has been a real game changer with my mare and has helped us build our connection even deeper. This miniseries has helped me figure some of her out (as well as figure parts of myself out too) so exciting
How It Works
Holistic horsemanship is a conscious approach to horse care and training that focuses on six elements of holism:
-
Spiritual
-
Physical
-
Mental
-
Emotional
-
Social
-
Environmental well-being of the horse.
​
​
Why not make your horse’s entire experience with you enriching, and rewarding every time you interact so they are motivated to seek you out, be with you and work with you?
There is no better feeling than achieving that true partnership, that unbreakable bond.
When we use a holistic approach to training, developing and re-training, we not only meet
our horse’s needs, we create a learning environment and experience that provides
enrichment, meaning and value to our horse.
​
From “hot” OTTBs to Wild Mustangs, to abused and dangerous young horses,
Caroline has rehabilitated them all into willing and trustworthy partners, and developed
a proven step-by-step program of holistic horsemanship that can be followed
by beginners to professionals.
​
​
It is founded on the understanding that horses are sentient beings who have their own needs and desires, and that these should be taken into account when caring for and training.
​
The benefits of holistic horsemanship are numerous. For the horse, it can reduce stress, create relaxation, improve physical health, increase mental and emotional well-being and feelings of safety.
​
For the horse’s human partner, it can help to build a stronger bond, improve communication, and create
a more harmonious relationship.
​
Holistic horsemanship also encourages the horse to think for itself, which can lead to increased problem-solving skills, self-regulation (safety) and a better understanding of the horse’s needs and desires.​
​
​It has been Caroline's professional experience that when we do not address a challenge or problem with our horse holistically, we will exasperate the issue - and this is how horses,
like humans, become damaged.
To look at a horse holistically, is to not only look at the big picture, but all the pieces that make it whole.
To look at negative behavior as a symptom of a much greater underlying issue and to work through that issue as a trusted partner.​
​
When we don’t consider how a horse feels about a situation or what is causing the problem to begin with, how can we possibly expect a permanent solution? If we push our partner through an issue using “pressure and release”, “food rewards” or “desensitizing”, what are we really teaching?
Using these traditional and “natural” methods are NOT addressing the underlying cause of the issues that have surfaced. And while they may seem to solve one issue, another is sure to arise just as quickly because we have not addressed the root cause.
​
A horse who has learned to “submit” to pressure because they are desperate for the release is not a companion you can trust. They can become a ticking time bomb – on the edge of exploding when the pressure just gets too much.
To train a horse holistically, is to give the horse a choice – and to guide the horse (through connection to their heart, mind and body) to make the correct decision… This is the foundation needed to create a willing partner who truly wants to be with you. A partner who trusts you as a leader and is therefore open and ready to learn.
​
A horse that is hard to catch and is run to exhaustion until they submit has not learned anything…they are just trying to survive. A horse that is given treats to be caught is not making
a choice based on a long-lasting partnership, they are just looking for that immediate reward. And a horse that is made to walk around with scary objects in their face until they are “bomb proof” are often just displaying learned helplessness… they have given in to the fact that they have no choice in this terrifying situation and have unfortunately checked out completely.
​
This is not the foundation that a safe, long-lasting partnership is built upon.
​
This is what happens in many natural horsemanship practices. We keep making the horse do exercises without true connection to their hearts, minds, or bodies. This is because most natural horsemanship is about technique, the mechanics, of how we care for, handle, develop, train, and rehabilitate horses, and not how we approach each horse as an individual learner.​
​
​We should be asking questions and thinking about how they feel about the experience. How are they mentally? How are they learning (are they confident, happy, progressing and enjoying the process)?
​
Can we read them? Do we know what we are looking at physically? Can we identify our horse’s emotional, mental, or physical thresholds – when we’ve pushed too far, or for too long?
​
These are the questions of holistic horsemanship. The questions that you will be able to answer when you learn how to understand your horse on every level (spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically), connect in ways that are mutually rewarding and speak their language,
the language of Equus.​
​
​When we do not take into consideration our horses’ basic and emotional needs during any interaction (vet, farrier, handling, training, etc.), we can, with repeated lack of awareness, easily create or support these displaced, or unwanted behaviors over time.
​
I’ve worked holistically with horses my entire life. It is the glue that binds the heart and joins the mind and the body between horse and human. It is the magic we’ve felt when we look in our horse’s eyes and feel their heart. There is no better way to connect, be and work with a horse than when we are engaged holistically. It is what the horse needs from us to give themselves completely.

Do You Have Permission to Ride?
Getting permission to ride is an honor and one I don’t take lightly. It’s worth every ounce of time and sweat to earn because once you have it, you will be Riding as One™ - in heart, mind and body with your horse.
Does your horse really want you to ride? Do you have to hold them still, walk them around or have someone hold them for you while you mount? Do they walk off as soon as you get on, or worse, get nervous? If you answered yes to any of these, no worries - I've got you!
You're already learning how to fix this, and you have the building blocks in this mini-series to not only help you get permission to get on, but develop the level of relationship your horse needs from you to want to take care of you and keep you safe.
