Camelot fun-raiser clinic
Thanks to all who made our 4th annual fundraiser at Camelot Therapeutic Horsemanship a great success. It was a day full of life, love, and laughter and healing. From Grand Prix Dressage riders to beginner western riders to disabled riders we all found a common ground. The common ground was our miraculous human body.
On the ground and in the saddle the riders learned ‘how to’ tap into that deeper part of the mind in which feel and sensitivity are developed. Using that heightened sense of feel ever one discovered how to move effectively, use and control their seat. This new awareness and control allowed them to manage their weight aids and balance to effortlessly influence the horse’s movement.
The most beautiful thing to me was to be a part of the amazingly deep connection all achieved with their horses.
By applying principles and techniques borrowed from Tai Chi the participants had the unique opportunity to see that the very same techniques of balance, sensitivity and control allowed the students with limited or no use of their arms to turn and bend their horse with some connection and precision as the most experiences and capable riders. To learn more about these techniques have a look at my YouTube page.
