Relationship Riding Barbara-Anne King Relationship RidingÂ©: An Exciting Step Forward in the Evolution of Horsemanship

This is how riding horses all started!

Relationship RidingÂ© is more than just another riding and training technique with a gentle approach. It is a whole philosophy incorporating ground work, riding and changing our beliefs and assumptions when working with horses.

Based on techniques centuries old, Relationship RidingÂ© demonstrates how a strong relationship based on trust, respect, honesty and love can help you achieve your equine goals no matter how big or small. The secret lies in being a good leader based on what horses need to see in a leader, not what humans assume they need.

"You may think you are being a good leader, but if your horse shows any signs of not trusting you and/or disrespect, misbehaving in any way, than you are not the leader your horse needs." B-A King.

Relationship RidingÂ© challenges conventional methods and although very natural to all horses, this technique presents a certain challenge to humans. Letting go and allowing the magic to happen between horse and human is easier said than done. As far as our equine friends go, once they've experienced Relationship RidingÂ© they very seldom want to go back to the traditional methods used by humans.

Relationship RidingÂ© is for everyone; young and old, experienced or not and this applies to both horse and humans. It is a simple yet very effective technique. Results are guaranteed!

Relationship RidingÂ© is a magical and spiritual journey to be shared with a very special animal, the horse. This is how it all started many centuries ago.

Natural Pasture Boarding, creating a living environment that closely resembles nature, one that suits the equine mind, body and behaviors, based on what horses need in order to thrive. Located 10 min. North of Cochrane on Hwy #22, indoor/outdoor arenas, trail rides, offering a relaxing environment for you and your horse. Contact us for more information or to visit. 1.403.932.1241
