At Windsong Hill we often refer to balance. Balance of the hoof, the horse, the rider, the mind. Training is approached in a holistic manner, combining traditional gymnastic exercises with body awareness, natural horsemanship philosophy and practices, and the playful, rewarding work of clicker training.
Caroline believes any interaction with animals should be a pleasure for both partners. She works to create balance between challenges and success. Lessons are taught to instill confidence in a positive atmosphere, leading to the harmonious development of horse and rider. When whole balance is achieved, riding becomes nearly meditative in practice.
The fundamentals that underlie great horsepeople are an understanding of learning theory, empathy for the animal, and consideration of how horses behave naturally. These enhance tact, feel and timing. And are the impetus needed to develop a secure and supple position. Let's have fun with the challenges!
