Humanship Horse Safety
Have you ever learnt how to fall of a horse safely?
This is a question that I have asked 1000’s of horse people worldwide. Only a very small number of people have ever answered this question with any degree of understanding the mechanics of a fall from a horse. This is of great concern to me, as is the cost and severity of accidents within the horse riding community.
Despite the best endeavours of ACC in NZ and equestrian organisations world wide, to address equestrian accidents, the cost of horse related accidents is still rising alarmingly. Even the more advanced technology of safety equipment, is not halting the advancing
accident and injury trend.
The experienced rider is not immune to accidents either. In fact, the severity of injuries increases with experience, as bigger risks are taken.
Today traditional horse riding and handling is still being taught from a fear base as it has for centuries.
“We do this just in case the horse does this, this or this…..
We do that, that or that when the horse has done that.”
Humanship Horse Safety is about building the relationship with a horse from a perspective of trust and respect and to act in any given moment to maintain or regain control and communication. The process of achieving this is one of letting go of our fears we tend to face when the edge of our comfort zone is reached. Through the workshop there is a strong emphasis on identifying and understanding our coping mechanisms.
The aim of Humanship Horse Safety is to enable you to act on the situation at hand rather than react or anticipate.
Workshops are held regularly at the centre as well as opportunities for workshops to be held at other venues by the organisation of participants.
Cost: See Pricing Philosophy
1 day workshop- 6-10 participants.
