Emotional Horsemanship Trains Horses for Emotional Balance

with Practices that put Horse's Well-Being in First Position, Always.

SCIENCE - EMPATHY - FEEL

Science

Humanity's robust efforts to understand our world correctly, with the best research and most accurate truth-seeking processes available to humankind.


The function of Science in Emotional Horsemanship:

  • Affords horse trainers and horse people the best truth available at this moment in time.

  • Creates permanent room for improvement, reasonable doubt and new information.

  • Encourages a rigorous, curious, detached, critical thinking in horse trainers and horse people.

  • Ensures ethical practice is driven by truthful information.

Empathy

Understanding our human emotions is crucial to horse-first horsemanship. Empathy illuminates the emotional behavioural, physical, hormonal, chemical, neurological and spiritual state of horses with qualities helpful to horsemanship practice.


The function of Empathy in Emotional Horsemanship:

  • Assists in listening to horses correctly and objectively.

  • Softens humans to horses, and softens horses towards humans.

  • Forges safer and easier horsemanship practice.

  • Transforms abstract science into cohesive and cooperative practice with horses.

Feel

Honouring five millennia of horse-human cooperation, by learning the skills, crafts and practices that transform a regular person into a true Horseperson.

The function of Feel in Emotional Horsemanship:

  • Demands that smart and knowledgeable people apply themselves to skills-based practice with horses regularly.

  • Transforms scientific and empathic fluency into a physical skill-set that horses love.

  • Incorporates how the horse feels into technical practice.

  • Real-time blending of individual human qualities with the demands of horsemanship techniques and the needs of the horse.

  • Balances the memories of yesterday and the hopes of tomorrow, into practice that is achievable- today.

  • Facilitates advanced training and communication with horses.

  • Teaches the Horseperson timing, tact and confidence.

The Emotional Horsemanship (EH) Community is the BEST in the "HORSE-FIRST" space.

"...I felt safe and secure enough to relax, listen and open my heart to the knowledge shared."

"This was my first-ever horse clinic, and I was deeply moved by the care, creativity and generosity of Lockie Phillips. As an auditor I felt engaged in the experience. I witnessed the specialised interest he took in each Participant and in each horse, creating space of patience, ease and deep emotional work... Even though it was a new setting for me, with a lot to take in, I felt safe and secure enough to relax, listen and open my heart to the knowledge shared." - E. Hill. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

"No more ridicule and being shamed for actually showing care and affection towards their horses."

"Once again I was blown away by Lockie's educated knowledge, passion, a voice for horses, hard work and wicked tongue in cheek humour. This is what the Equestrian world needs to be listening to for the SAKE OF HORSES. Building block by building block building a community of like-minded people who just love their horses who want the best of them. No more ridicule and being shamed for actually showing care and affection towards their horses. "

- Anonymous Clinic Auditor, Perth Australia.

"...there is no judgement and the ecology is so safe and supporting."

"To be part of the Homecoming 2.0 course (online) has been the most warming experience! Just so warm, friendly, kind and supportive and I feel so lucky to have been a part of it... Another striking aspect of the course and the zoom calls is the fact that there is no judgement and the ecology is so safe and supporting." - T. Schäfer, Denmark.

"Within this group there was only support. Egotistical judgement does not exist here."

"I personally have never felt safe amongst equestrians outside of this group. For the first time, since coming back to horses in my adult life, I felt safe. Within this group (online) there was only support. Egotistical judgement does not exist here. The fear of asking questions falls away once you ask your first and see that there was never ever any reason to be scared to ask a question. Now this does not happen frequently in the outside equestrian world I know, where ego rules the Kingdom. But within this space, carefully curated and cared for by Lockie and his team, I found a safe place where we could grow exponentially if we chose to. I did. I continue to"

- C. Murphy, South Africa.
