Training horses from the ground up – The Carolyn Resnick Blog

Hello everyone. Last week I had the pleasure of sharing one of my ‘Dance With Horses’ clinic with Joy, a lovely lady from Denmark. I do so enjoy teaching and sharing my message and it’s so nice to see so many people from all over the world finding resonance with my Method.

With this in mind, I hope to be working more closely in the coming months with my good friends: documentary film-maker, Stormy May (www.stormymay.com) and author and artist, Liz Mitten Ryan (www.lizmittenryan.com), to spread the word of a more natural approach to horsemanship and an appreciation of what we can learn from horses.

On that subject, if you live in southern California, you may be interested in the Fall & Winter Curriculum taking place at my ranch in Escondido.

The course will be a journey of self-discovery facilitated personally by me. It will be a re-awakening experience for you by helping you bring awareness to your personal journey through the art of mindfulness. Sharing mindfulness with horses in the moment brings us back to our authentic self.

I will guide you using many of the Waterhole Rituals as way to help you win a horse’s affection, develop better body language skills and the kind of leadership that will draw horses and humans to you like bees to honey.

To acquire this ability we must communicate authentically with a horse. Nearly everyone has lost the art of authenticity because of the way our culture develops our focus and behaviours.

So how does we get in touch with our authentic self? That’s easy. All we need to do is feel connection in the moment, stay aware of our surroundings, share with each other and be inspired to dance.

Each session will follow a format of meditation, group sharing and guided wisdom from the book Way of the Horse by Linda Kohanov. During the course you will experience foot baths, shared stories, short trips in nature and dancing with horses to music because it is so much fun!

Lessons of the day may also be given by someone in the group if they feel moved to talk about a particular subject.

The sessions are held twice a week for 3 hours and a complete course lasts for 8 sessions in total. As the sessions are running from now until March, you can set your own pace and regularity of attending depending on your personal schedule.

However because of the very personal nature of the course, I will only be taking a few people at a time. Places will be very limited so I would advise you book early.

My normal charge for personal coaching is $195 per hour, which would mean this amount of time with me would work out at over $4,600. However, I wanted to make this very affordable and have decided to offer the whole 8 session course for only $495.

I am creating a space for people to make a true heart connection with horses and with each other as there are a huge number of us that find a deeper meaning to life though horses and through sharing our experiences with others.

There is a way of being for both horses and humans alike that helps you achieve your dreams. Communicating with a horse in moments of mindfulness and without agenda is truly magical and life enhancing.

In this state of being we bring ourselves and the horses to a better quality of life. In this state of being connection with horses is natural. So let’s come together and retrieve this part of our true nature through our love of horses.

To express your interest, for more information and to sign up, please email me at info@carolynresnick.com

I would appreciate too if you would forward on this message to anybody you know who lives in the area who would be interested. Thank you.

I hope you can join me in what promises to be a very exciting adventure!
Best wishes

Carolyn
