Workshops: "If not now, when?"
2023 Workshops and Classes
Equine Partnered Bodywork - Online Course Register Here will introduce a light touch technique we can do WITH our horse. We will discover the connection of how to ask for and observe our horse's consent to be with us. By applying a light touch to the neck of a horse, we will see and recognize different levels of response. As a result, we will discover that by applying a light touch and staying on the point or area, the horse will ‘process and release’ their own tension, be it physical, mental, emotional. We in turn will feel our stress level melt away into relaxation.

Reinvent the Spark: Remember when...
- Your heart was full and totally connected to horses?
- Your daughter or son spent all their time with horses but now they've moved on to adult life
- You feed, care for but worry the horse is not 'being used' and the horse is simply a pasture ornament?
- You feel disconnected, can't communicate or don't know how to spend time together at this juncture in life?
and now?...
We will evaluate your combined dynamics, explore the needs and desires for interaction and establish the ability to communicate with each other where you both are in your journey now.
I'll share with you some 'connection bodywork' techniques that enhance emotional, physical, spiritual balance. I'll share tools to establish a deeper relationship between you both, to recognize the smallest of responses and tips to interpret their meaning. I'll guide the plan for moving forward with enriching activities for sharing time, connecting and ultimately discovering - within yourself - a deep and rich inner peace.

Toolkit for Tension" Private lesson
Much of the work I do with horses begins with recognizing and releasing tension. Mental, emotional, physical tension can cause all the above and more which results in . Even if we think our horse is relaxed and perfect, there are some things we can do to check their wellbeing and gain a deeper connection.Recognizing the signs of disconnect to find and create engagement
"What am I seeing or not seeing?" In this workshop we'll take a look at your equine partner (and you) to see the signs of contentment, stress, tension, apprehension, checked out - not connected, confidence and lack of confidence, trust and lack of trust. For the horse who constantly moves we'll study their level of patience as well as discomfort, impatience an determine if this is excessive movement simply due to an inability to release tension? The best thing you can do with your horse is to teach them to release tension!

Horse Sense Healing - Brenda Westwood...Past events: Reach Out To Horses - Anna Twinney...
2015, 2016, 2017 -Hosted by GGR and Horse Sense Healing- 3 Day Clinics
So grateful to see this amazing demo of just how good it can be between a horse and a human. This horse assessment was 17 minutes. At the end of the demo Anna states her "evaluation" - essentially what information she gleamed from working with this horse for only 17 minutes. This session was the most amazingly precise and integral work that I've seen - clear, concise, respectful and full of questions, 'asks' and answers. What a conversation to watch!
