30th March 2024 – Horsemanship Clinic

“Learn to talk to horses in a language they understand”

Shady has a gift…
…he understands the way horses communicate and what they need from a human. He uses this knowledge to train horses and solve problems. The is what he means by ‘natural horsemanship’. Shady’s dream is to help humans have a better understanding of horses. For anyone to have a successful relationship, they need will, faith, knowledge, and also understanding, patience and feeling. Shady believes that if someone has the first two qualities (will and faith) he can teach them the others.

Over the years, Shady has gained experience with many different horses, and most had some sort of problem that needed fixing. Shady learned that most horses become problem horses because of problem people. Humans don’t always understand how their actions, body language, and behaviour impacts the horse and its reactions. For this reason Shady works with both the horse and the human: it is only by working in cooperation with each other that the problem can be solved.
