These horse "Play Days" are based on the ‘I-Thou Horse-Friendship’ philosophy which follows the rhythm of horses innate knowing and natural intelligence by respecting their culture and sensitivity.  

By gaining an understanding of horse psychology, herd dynamics, and a ‘learning from horses’ approach where an I/thou relationship is practiced rather than an I/it dynamic.  ‘I-Thou Horse-Friendship’ comes from an approach of how humans can best serve the horse and with congruency act as a herd leader.   It starts with honouring the horse and looking at life from a horse's perspective and becoming aware how our energy and focus affects our equine friends. Discover their language and learn how to apply it to our own lives.

Giving horses a better deal by playing and building confidence with them on the ground allows everyone to enjoy the experience of "being with horses" in a conscious and safe way.

By working WITH the horse's behaviour, instincts and personality in a responsive, easy and effective way you build a partnership. When a solid foundation of understanding is in place confidence flourishes in both horse and human.

Every equine interest is suddenly accessible as the union truly becomes a partnership. In our experience being with horses speaks to our need to connect with the earth, with animals, and ourselves.
