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.
I bring connection, joy and playfulness back into your relationship with 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.
I have been fortunate to travel the world and teach clinics in 14 different countries. After teaching hundreds of students around the world I have learned how to encourage people to make true transformational changes in their lives with simple techniques. Based on the feedback I can guarantee that this will change the way you see and work with your horse!
With my online courses, it’s now easier than ever to learn from the comfort of your own home, wherever you are in the world, in your own time. People from all over the world have joined my courses. We’ve had horses from all breeds and sizes, so I know that every horse can do this.
