Zen Connection with Horses

3 day clinic at Cockatoo

with Jenny Pearce

January 23^rd to 25th, 2010 @ Mark & Alison’s stunningly beautiful property Hearts Abode at Cherry Garden Cottages, Evans Rd, Cockatoo.

This clinic takes you on a wonderful journey to have an extraordinary mind and emotional connection with your horse.  The extensive liberty work is simple and practical and effective and powerful and incredibly beautiful.  

Jenny, an international author, teacher and clinician, takes 10 riders at a time on this lovely relaxed journey, showing you how to find peace and joyfulness for you and your horse and systematically building on that.  Have a look at People’s Stories on the website for more information about the clinics and the books they are based on.  Note: Non riders are welcome but participate too!

All you have to bring to this clinic are a love for The Horse and a desire to improve your relationship.  Your skill level with horses is unimportant.  You can be a Grand Prix dressage rider or an enthusiastic beginner, you can be working with a grand old schoolmaster or a brumby fresh out of the bush - because you work at you and your horse’s own pace.

The practical results of this clinic are:

• you will establish and develop your own talents to communicate with your horse.  
• you will discover how to have a confident horse and be and feel a confident handler/rider mostly at liberty in a 3 day clinic.
• you will discover and learn how to use the natural connectedness between horse and rider to bring something incredibly special to your life.
• you will have a new and simple and practical understanding of your horse and yourself that will continue into your saddle work.

Alane Millions-Kendall facilitates the Second Wind Horse Program, an equine assisted therapy offered on our property.

Second Wind Horse Program uses the natural characteristics of the horse to take people on a journey of personal growth, awareness and healing.

It is the use of animals in a therapeutic environment that helps facilitate healing. Together with horses we become connected once again to nature, resulting in a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Horses give us permission to behave naturally. Their size, strength and intuition require an approach of respect and sensitivity. The program has been successfully employed within Corrections Canada supporting incarcerated Native American Women in gaining insight into positive opportunities for transition into the community.

Principals of the Program

• Horses take humans at face value; they do not judge for things that you have done, the color of your skin, where you live or how much money you make. They give us permission to behave naturally.

• To establish trust with animals, we have to base our interactions in honesty, mutual respect and compassion.

In their innocence & wisdom, in their connection to the earth and its most ancient rhythms, animals show us a way back to a home they have never left.    Susan Chernak McElroy
