Spirituality of Horsemanship

Path to Conscious Horsemanship

Spiritual experiences are both magical and transformative. 

Caroline’s signature program is designed to do just that – show you how to
experience the magic as you participate in this amazing and profound
spiritual learning journey with your horse.

​

It begins with becoming one with your horse, aligning and synchronizing with their energy, their heart in relationship, their mind in thought and their body in movement. 

The shamans, healers, sages, and wisdom keepers of all times, all continents, and all peoples, in their ageless wisdom, say that human spirituality is composed of three aspects: relationships, values, and life purpose.

Spirituality is an intuitive experiential approach to union & unity in relationships to us, others, and everything else. It centers on the “deepest values & meanings” by which we live “life purpose” in discovering the essence of being and living humbly. 

How we practice it in truths leads to feeling comfort, safety, connection and living in the present moment of wonderment, curiosity, and appreciation. 

According to Mario Beauregard and Denyse O’Leary, researchers, and authors of The Spiritual Brain, “spirituality means any experience that is thought to bring the experiencer into contact with the divine (in other words, not just any experience that feels meaningful).”

​

It is a physical & mental practice that helps one connect to the soul, the universe, nature, the horse, and us to find deeper meanings in life.

Practices recommended for cultivating spirituality are like those recommended for improving emotional wellbeing. 

​

This is because there is a connection between the two—emotional and spiritual wellbeing influence one another and overlap, as do all aspects of wellbeing. 

Emotional health is more than avoiding or overcoming mental anxieties and diseases—it is about creating and sustaining a healthy attitude, consciously choosing your responses to any given situation, and expressing emotions in an appropriate way.

We can achieve emotional balance and well-being through a spiritual lifestyle, that which seeks a meaningful connection with something bigger than ourselves, resulting in creating positive emotions, and experiences that encompass feelings of peace, awe, contentment, gratitude, and acceptance.

Emotional health is about cultivating a positive state of mind, which can broaden your outlook to recognize and incorporate a connection to something larger than yourself.

Thus, emotions and spirituality are distinct but linked, deeply integrated with one another.

Like other reflective practices, attunement and mindfulness can be a tool to discover how spirituality manifests in your life. Both can teach you how to be aware of what is happening in your body and mind in the present moment and open to it with curiosity and kindness. This allows you to explore beliefs, perspectives, and experiences in a new way that might lead to new insights around spiritual questions. 

Caroline has developed a horse-human development training program dedicated to discovering and living the Spirituality of Horsemanship.

Her signature program focuses on the importance of relationships, and carefully guides you through the process of self-actualization while developing the relationship you share with your horse during the learning (training) journey you share together.

It is designed to guide you and your horse on a very magical and personal learning journey together as you develop deep and mutually rewarding relationships, connect and communicate clearly, value and respect each other and bring balance to both Being and doing at the same time.

In addition, the program is designed to teach you how to create and hold the space for yourself and your horse as you develop deeper awareness, understanding, compassion, and insight into the depth of relationship, connection, and communication possible with horses. 

You begin by learning how to attune, tune in, get quiet and listen. This is how we begin creating the space for connection, communication, and congruency. 

This is a transformative process and will show you how to deepen the connection you share with your horse so you both can communicate clearly, meet each other’s needs, forge deep and magical relationships, and work in harmony – in mind, body, and heart-connection.

The path to achieving this is shown through tangible, step-by-step exercises designed to develop the following skills in you and relationship between you and your horse:

• How to meditate and why it’s important to connection, communication, and congruency.

• Learn how to listen by quieting your mind.

• Deepen your awareness so you can attune and tune into yourself, your horses, and your environment. 

• How to create space and hold the space through energy.

• Learn the language of Equus by strengthening your intuition, instincts, and sensory awareness.

• Learn how to think, feel, and move as one with your horse through energy awareness and connection.

• Read and understand a situation correctly.

• Create congruency in you as a partner and leader.

• Create deep connections and conversations with your horse so you can talk about it rather than argue or fight about it.

• Develop the level of trust, confidence and safety needed for both horse and human to want to be together and work together harmoniously

Caroline’s signature and proven program is the only complete and proven horse-human developmental training system, providing a full and comprehensive curriculum specifically designed to teach horse owners how to develop their horses holistically, classically, and with science - from the inside out, ground to riding, start to finish, rehab to recovery and upper-level performance.
