SUE GARDNERTeaching people to reach their goals with horses

Elsa Suzanne

It occurs to me that everyone who wants to have anything to do with these most wondrous animals needs to be made aware of the core subject: the innate behaviour of horses. Only then might they understand the individual when they meet them. Calling upon this basic knowledge of innate behaviour and then utilising it to inform an appropriate environment and training methods, having welfare as a top priority, can enable co-habitation, which will be beneficial to both parties.

There is no getting away from the fact that horses and ponies survive in a man's world and we need them more than they need us. It is such a privilege that they do seem to enjoy some of what we ask of them, but it is monstrous the way in which many of them are treated by humans, some of them supposedly experienced and good horsemen.

Every training session with Sue is such an eye opener! I am in awe of her integrity, wealth of knowledge and understanding of horses.

Horses like all of the creatures on our planet,are highly evolved with their own society, Thoughts and emotions akin to our own but also different. This course is a must for horse lovers who truly want to develop a relationship and communication channel of the highest level with their equine partner.

The material is well researched and drawn from Sue's vast experience. It be can be read and enjoyed again and again.
