⭑Presenter Bio Lucie Klaassen⭑
When you see a human interact with a horse, it is very obvious to recognize a horse that trusts its human and enjoys being, playing and working together with joy and mutual respect as opposed to a horse that obeys out of fear.
Creating a deep bond of trust, communication and connection may sound almost magical, but it is possible for everyone. To find true connection with your horse, you first have to be connected to your self, so it starts with YOU! Through conscious breathing and listening to the wisdom of your body you can open your heart and create a vibration of coherence so you become the human your horse wants to be with.
It is my vision is to create a safe space where you can reconnect to your heart and body and learn to become more grounded and present because that is the space where you can truly meet your horse.
From that place, you can train your horse to become stronger, more flexible, balanced and collected without compromising the relationship. You will find confidence, joy and ease in any horse activity and training because you will know how to train your horse from a place of deep trust, true connection and honest communication.
Because Of The Horse...
I have learned that we are all energy beings and that you can only connect to your horse when you are connected to yourself

DAY 1
★Heart Coherence - Become The Human Your Horse Wants To Be With
How radiating a Heart Coherent energy field will help you become a human your horse WANTS to be with. It's also a great feeling and it automatically puts a smile on your face. Horses love to be around you when you are in that state.
★How To Approach A Horse With Trauma
My horse Jajão came from Portugal. The scars on his body tell his story… Since he had a negative association with riding, I started all over again as if it were a young unridden horse. This video is the first time I put a saddle pad on him.
DAY 2
★What Is Collection?
Horses naturally have more weight on the forehand. This is not a problem when they are in the field. However, when you want to ride them, it is your responsibility to help them get stronger, more flexible and better balanced, so that your horse can carry him/herself AND you in a healthy, balanced way.
It starts with strengthening the hind legs with lateral movements like shoulder in and haunches in, so that the hind legs are able to carry more weight and the shoulders become more free.
★Collection At Liberty?
Lateral movements help your horse to become more balanced, but they can be overwhelming for some people, thinking this is only for high level dressage people. I like to keep things simple and I believe anyone can learn this. When you can move the shoulders and you can move the haunches of your horse, you can align the spine in such a way that the hind legs carry more weight and they will lift the shoulders. Then the horse will automatically start to collect!
★Flexion And Bending
What is the difference between lateral flexion and bending? I always explain this to a horse on the ground and in this video I will share how I translate this to riding.
★The 3-Dimensional Seat
In this video we'll talk about the seat and how the movement of your hips and pelvis should move with the horse's movement while keeping your upper body aligned. You need to learn to feel the swing of the ribcage of your horse so that you know when the inside hind leg is stepping forward.
