The Essence. The Basis of All.
—In all what we do with horses, balance is the basis of the relationship. Championships are won, daily horseback ranchwork is done, relaxing recreational rides under the evening sun... all from within the balanced synchronicity with the horse.
From the very first moment you observe your horse, approach, and greet your horse, you act in a balanced mode. And this balance is obtained and maintained in your very personal way. The same is true for your work relationship with your horse; you instill balance and work from balanced basis.
Integrated Horsemanship is focused on how you find your balance, maintain and master your balance. How you interact with your horse within the balance that you both share.
A Cetified IHF practitioner -an Integrated Horsemanship Practitioner- helps you to find your balance in your own specific way and how to share and apply this in the interaction with your horse. You don't have to be a ballet dancer to find your balance; it lives in every human being.
As soon as you can instill your balance yourself, you'll be able to master this and share this with your horse. In case you lose your balance... you just reinstall and repair your balance... in your own, personal, way.
From beginner to pro, finding or repairing your balance is the key; because from within your balance you'll be able to connect with your horse.
