Horse Speak for Equine Bodyworkers
Bodywork from the Horse's Perspective
Using Horse Speak to support and facilitate Bodywork.
Horse Speak can greatly enhance an equine bodywork session by enabling you to quickly create rapport, establish yourself as safe and trustworthy in the horse's eyes, see and understand messages the horse is sending, and show the horse that you are listening to what he has to say.
Horse Speak helps us understand bodywork from the Horse's perspective and address his concerns in a language he understands. For bodyworkers, this can save lots of time in each session.
This course was created for the Equine Bodyworker, but will provide insight into activities such as grooming, entering a stall, and other common activities.
Topics include:
- A quick review of a few Horse Speak principles and techniques
- Horse Speak Techniques for Starting a Bodywork Session
- Securing the environment
- Negotiating the horse's Bubble of Personal Space
- Entering a stall using the Rule of 3
- Reverse Round Pen and the Buttons
- Facilitating Results with Horse Speak
- End a Bodywork Session
