Clinics we are holding with Dan Franklin will have the following program objectives:

• Learn the skills of equine communication.

• Encourage safety while working with horses.

• Improve self awareness.

• Improve self esteem.

• Improve motivation skills.

• Improve speech and communication skills.

• Promote language processing skills by following directions and sequential actions.

• Improve imagination skills.

• Improve self discipline skills.

• Develop focus and concentration skills.

• Develop empathy, kindness, and accountability for one's actions through communication with the horse.

• Improve physical skills including balance.

• Learn games to play with the horses using their language.

• Learn the power of the mind in communicating with the horses, as well as in everyday life.

• Open possibilities for the future through positive thinking.

• Learn problem solving strategies.

• Develop a relationship with the horse as a partner and companion.

• Help horses within their lives.

• Improve horses' behaviour in the facility.

Methods:

Horsemanship skills using the horse's language are taught with consideration to the capabilities of each individual student. A single lesson may include some of the following skills:

• moving the horse forward

• backing the horse

• turning the horse away from you

• turning the horse toward you

• lunging at the walk, trot, and lope

• changing the direction of the horse's movement

• changing the speed of the horse's movement

• stopping the horse

• playing with the horse at liberty (without halter, lead, or lunge line - same as above)

If all of the above is not enough reason for you to book than let us tell you that you will get a private session on that day as well and this is usually $100 per session. A session is usually 45 minutes or less if your horse is not able to concentrate for that long.

So you are getting a great seminar plus a private session and food from only $195. This is a great deal!

We are looking forward to receive your booking request.
