YES! The short answer: My students tell me all the time... like Angel Ben from Australia:

"This program is the pink diamond in the haystack. It's unique, one of a kind and WILL work 100% if you follow the steps!"

There is also a longer story, so here I go:

When I was 11, I started riding in a NORMAL German Riding School. I was lifted on the horse and was told to 'ride in the arena' at the beginning of my lesson. The horses were in tie stalls and one of the horses was gone after the summer - and I felt I wasn't told the truth where the horse went.

So even as a little kid, I very quickly noticed that I wanted something 'different'.

I started volunteering at a horse rescue and saw all the horrible things that happen to horses.

I looked for 'alternative horse training' and found a German Magazine (originally from Germany) called 'Freizeit im Sattel' (Leisure Time in the Saddle). 

Here I was exposed to Linda Tellington Jones, Ursula Bruns' Riding Test Center and others who were looking to offer an alternative from traditional horse training.

Fast forward to coming to the US and my scary riding accident. My neighbor talked me into getting on my tense and tight horse, resulting in me getting bucked off, hitting the ground with my face first.

When I opened my eyes, the fence post was right in front of me... and I realized I could have been paralyzed or even died!

A few years later, I still hadn't regained my confidence and was about ready to give up horses all together...

I found Natural Horsemanship and at first, I made progress. I gained confidence (for the first time in years). So much that I became an instructor.

And I was very successful... I taught the President of Parelli Natural Horsemanship on a daily basis for months. I was listed as Top 2* Star Instructor. I made good money...

Then I hit my glass ceiling... and I realized: Natural Horsemanship is oodles better than traditional horse 'breaking' and training BUT...

Natural Horsemanship is still pressure, control and therefore dominant communication! In the end, I didn't see the relationship put first in Parelli Natural Horsemanship and so I quit my lucrative 'job' and decided to 'do my own thing'.

A quick excursion to Positive Reinforcement/treat-based training made me realize that it's a quick way out and still keeps horses in self preservation and self protection because it's still task orientated and doesn't require the human to show up as the Guardian and LEAD - the SELF DEVELOPMENT ASPECT.

Then the journey continued to found and create GENUINE CONNECTIONS HorseWomanship...

It's a culmination of learning what DIDN'T WORK... and what to do instead.

Horse training is drenched with patriarchal ways... and no horse follows the dominant stallion, but ALL horses follow the LEADmare.

I take you away from pressure, control and treat-based training, to BEcome the LEAD in your EveryDayLife and your Horsewomanship.

Communication will be based on intent, energy and body language, just like horses do it.

You will create safety, confidence and empowerment for HORSE AND YOURSELF... have you heard of anybody else teaching what I teach?

Feel free to reach out!

Yes! You will start your relationship by creating step-by-step an amazing foundation so you and your horse will feel safe, confident and empowered TOGETHER - avoiding and even elimininating scary experiences and even accidents (which are often portrayed as 'normal' in the horse industry). They are NOT! Accidents are usually in direct correlation of Residual Tension and pressure/control based training techniques. Your horse will happily and willingly follow you and your suggestions when you learn how to release residual tension AND BEcome the LEADmare!

Many of my students come to be frustrated, even scared and ready to give up. If you are willing to invest in yourself and your horse and follow my program step-by-step, you will find joy with your horse(s) again. When you let go of pressure, control and even treat based training techniques to create real, true and genuine Inter-Connection, both you and your horse(s) will feel safe, secure and confident TOGETHER!

Yes! Some of my students have had horses for 30 to 50 years. My Mentorship Student Linda Racette Hill said: "I've had horses for over 50 years and with your program my heart explodes when I see the relationship with my horses bloom before my eyes."

Any change, for horse and human, takes time. You do not have to spend more time with your horse, it's the change of mindset that will create a new quality of inter-actions. Plan to spend every day or every other day on watching a 10 to 15 minute video (on average) to learn this new way of being with horses. When you follow my Relationship Reset Curriculum step-by-step, you can stop control, pressure and treat based training within 10 days and create a solid foundation for Inter-Connection in 30 days or less as long as you are willing to watch my videos, participate in the Q&A's and spend quality time and conversations with your horse each week.  From there, whether you want to continue to play at liberty and/or get back into riding, you will learn how to communicate with intent, energy and body languague and how to instill mental, emotional and physical balance for your Herd of 2 to raise the quality of life for your horse (and yourself!) and make sure your horse is a safe (riding) partner.

Please look out for my email which will give you immediate access to the Guardians of the Horse Educational Community.

From there, I will give you a tour of the program, you will define your BBWG (Your Big Bodacious, Worthwhile Goal) to keep you engaged and get immediately started with the "Get UNSTUCK - Change that will Stick Course"!

Each week, you will get a set of lessons that will guide you through the process to take inventory of what's currently working in your relationship with your horse and what's not working YET.

This way, you will have a customized, tailored to you and your horse, Success Roadmap and each lesson will give you the tools to facilitate positive change and transformation, for your horse as well as for yourself!

My suggestion is to start with no tools (stick & string optional - never to make things happen but to bring clarity to your conversation)

From the moment you approach at liberty offer your horse free will and free choice (I'll show you HOW) and it will be easy to see whether your horse is just compliant and shutdown or truly participating!

We want our horse to provide honest feedback and show her feelings... to open up to us so we can heal TOGETHER!

This might sound complicated or impossible, but trust me... it's not. I will guide you along the way!

Once we know that our horse is happily and willingly follow us as the LEAD AND our suggestions, I recommend a soft rope halter (no knots on the nose!), a 12ft  5/8 inch yacht rope line with a quick release swivel and twist snap and "Mr. Snappy", a wonderfully light and balanced stick with string that you can order at www.brequine.com!
