When you speak; your horse is silent, when you are silent; your horse speaks

After many years of teaching common methods of working with horses, I reached a dead end, where I felt there was nothing more for me to learn from humans. This is the gift that allowed a new door to open in my life, where horses began to take the teaching role & took my learning curve in a whole new direction. Horses can teach us that they have never had a voice & how to hear that voice, in order to create mutual communication & understanding. This lifetime has been dedicated to the personal observation & study of the horse/human relationship & the intricate inner workings of the equine/human mind. I am here to help you change the perceptions of everything you thought you knew. This revolutionary new process centres around giving our horses a voice through Emotional Balancing, thought Redirection without Correction, the Magnetic Connection & no gadgets. These new perceptions will eliminate the need for common ideologies that are deemed vital & necessary & prove through personal experience & real time feedback from our horse, that we are responsible for creating the opposite effect of what we're trying to achieve.

The FEARLESS PROCESS is a role reversal, where our horses become the teachers as we learn to allow the process of becoming the students. All that is required is an open mind that's willing to observe & analyze our own roles in the relationship & replacing the habit of dictation with learning to listen & have mutual discussions. We begin by slowing down & becoming quiet to deeply see the details of ours & our horse's body language, we can begin to understand what they're thinking & feeling in every moment which will offer our horse an opportunity to speak to us through body language initially & give our horses a true voice, through personal expression. We will begin to see through the first part of the FEARLESS PROCESS; PARAMETERS, why it's not necessary to address behaviour individually or directly & how we've unintentionally taught our horses to disconnect from us. Horses naturally live in an expanded state of awareness, where people have become accustomed to living in a contracted state of awareness. We will begin to explore & understand these differences through the 4 exercises created just for humans, as experiential proof of this & how we unintentionally force our horses to live in their mind as we do, because it's all we know. Our horses will teach us how to expand our awareness from our heads, back through our entire body as we also help our horse return to this natural expanded state of feeling instead of only thinking.

Why is this process named FEARLESS? Because fear stems from change & the unknown. We fear what we don't understand, when we don't know what's going to happen & relinquishing control of what's going on around us. FEARLESS addresses the root causes of these fears by showing how to become proficient in not only understanding what's happening in every moment but how to know what's going to happen, so preventative measures can be taken to fix problems before they can even start. This eliminates the fear of the unknown for our horses & ourselves, when we are able to assess & address each situation, in each moment in order to extinguish the sparks of behaviour expressions, before they expand into infernos. During Parameters, we will learn to recognize & understand ours & our horse's fears, apprehensions and a simple method of overcoming these fears permanently.

As we're beginning to learn how to allow our horse to become the only teacher we'll ever need, our horse will begin to expose previously unrecognized aspects of our own thoughts, emotions & physical habits. This will open a new door to understanding the more subtle details of how our horse has been mirroring us all along. We're not just here to learn to understand & change our horse's behavior, but to understand how our own thoughts & choices are contributing to the problems being experienced. We open this new door of discovery through beginning to listen to our horse & understand what they've been trying to teach us all along. This is very much a personal experiential journey of discovery between you & your horse. Choosing to pull in ideas & methods of other people will only serve to create frustration, confusion & obscure our ability to listen to what our horse is trying to teach us.  If you're willing to commit to the sometimes uncomfortable change of learning something new, then you're in the right place.

We must always be willing to truly consider evidence that contradicts our beliefs and admit that we may be wrong. 

Intelligence isn't knowing everything. It's the ability to challenge everything we know

It's time to challenge the old paradigm of how we view not only our horses, but ourselves & begin to communicate through our horse's natural, physical language, based on Bell Mare guidance, not stallion control & domination. This will enable us to have practical conversations with our horse. We will no longer have to rely on (mis)information from external sources or turn to force & gadgets as a last resort. We will now be able to have discussions with our own horse, to understand the root cause of all unwanted behaviour, how to work together as a team to create lasting solutions & how to allow our horse to lead the discussion so we can ask the right questions. 

This process is the opposite of everything we've been taught about horses, eliminating all doctrines & steps to be memorized & practiced in sequence, training regimens in designated areas, lunging, round penning, addressing behaviour individually & directly, using gadgets & creating blocks of training time. This is because the information hasn't been handed down from books, videos or other people and modified over time. It has come directly from my herd of Mustangs & the countless other animals & people that I have had the privilege of working with over the years & have taken the time to listen to. Normally accepted forms of training teach us how to work from the outside-in; working through the body to affect the mind. The FEARLESS PROCESS teaches how to work from the inside-out; so we don’t have to worry about what’s happening in the body or emotions because they are hardwired to follow the mind & will naturally align with the thoughts. 

Our horses have infinitely more to teach us than we could ever presume to teach them
