Most equestrian education focuses on what to do - the technical skills of riding, training, and horse care. But so much of what makes someone a good horse person isn't technical at all. It's about communication: how we attend to what our horses are telling us, how we talk about horses with other equestrians, and how we enhance our ability to tune into different perspectives.
What you'll get:
A live 90-minute webinar presented by Dr Karen Luke, PhD, introducing you to a communication approach that is grounded in research, but practical enough to use at the barn tomorrow, that will help you improve all aspects of caring for and training your horse.
What we'll explore:
Why the best horse people are often the best listeners—and what gets in the way of listening well
How your "communication style" shapes your relationships with horses and humans alike
The four dimensions of conversation that research says matter most
How better communciation can improve your safety, training results and enjoyment of your horse
What you'll take away:
Your own Communication Style profile (you'll complete a comprehensive quiz during the session)
A downloadable booklet
A framework you can actually remember and use
At least one thing to try differently this week
Who this is for:
This session is for anyone who owns, rides or works with horses and suspects that becoming a better horse person might involve more than just technical skill - coaches, trainers, riders, equine practitioners, or anyone curious about the human side of horsemanship.
This webinar is suitable for all levels - it will be interactive and a welcoming space where you will have an opportunity to ask questions.
