Listening to the Horse 14 Day Challenge

Well, there’s a reason why the very top horsemen and women say that it takes more than 3 lifetimes to become a great horse person…

Because truly understanding a horse, and working with him in a way that is considerate and fair, to develop a relaxed, confident, light and soft horse - at all speeds - in all locations - is not easy.

But when you understand that your horse's health and happiness means the world to you, and you decide you want to learn ways to allow you to work WITH your horse... then suddenly some wonderful opportunities can open to you...

Welcome to this 14 day online challenge, that will work for you no matter what age, breed or type of horse you have.

It features some of the amazing horse people you met in Listening to the Horse, like Jeff Sanders, Lester Buckley, Steve Halfpenny and Warwick Schiller.

It also introduces some wonderful new horse people, like Callie King. Each day you will get a daily online lesson and challenge to complete. All of these lessons are fun to do and will help you and your horse to stay healthy, have fun together and improve your groundwork and riding skills.

WHAT'S INCLUDED FOR YOU:

14 Days of challenges & video lessons
Challenge creation digital roadmap
Listening to the Horse online challenge roadmap
BONUS #1: Conversations with the Horse eBook
BONUS #2: Private Facebook Challenge Community

At the end of two weeks, your horse will be lighter and softer on the ground with new methods of 'not pulling' shared by Steve Halfpenny, and be less likely to walk into you when you are leading him with help with personal space with Cathrine Fodstad.

You will be feeling more supple and healthy, and you'll have met lots of new friends in our new online community and you will also have a much more positive perspective on life!

Your ridden work will also have improved hugely, as you will fix issues like destination addiction with Warwick Schiller, get a cantering masterclass with Lester Buckley and begin to work on collection with Jeff Sanders.

If you want to know what is the next step for you and your horse, this challenge can save you months (or up to three lifetimes!) of trying to figure it out on your own. And to inspire you, you will also get the ebook version of the 'Conversations with the Horse' book to download and enjoy, plus access to our amazing facebook group.

I look forward to seeing you on the inside.

14 Day Challenge Student Reviews:

"The 14 day 'Listening to the Horse' challenge made me think about how I am working with my horse. It is 14 days of thinking about how you interact with your horse, some fantastic advice that anyone, from a novice to an expert can use - from groundwork to in the saddle advice to make you and your horse better partners. It emphasizes partnership, good horsemanship, and great techniques that involve trust and kindness. I highly recommend it" - Sarah, USA.

"This Listening to the Horse' challenge is easy to complete, but it gave me key elements to improve upon and to deepen my relationship with my horse" - Suzie, USA

"So many riders and horses are in need of a new way to connect; My horses are responding to this like no other tools I've been using. I enjoy going down to the barn more than ever and the horses are happier" - Karen, USA.

"I really loved this challenge. From the first lesson I noticed huge change in my Icelandic horse. The next day I was able to get him to walk on the float by himself something I was never able to do, I had to lead him in! All I did was wait...wonderful! Highly recommended for all owners of horses." - Sydney, Australia

"I highly recommend this challenge as before I started it my confidence was at a low. Both my horses aren't easy horses to train but after doing this challenge, all little things I have missed I feel we have a great future together. I not a person that does clinics so this has been a step out of my comfort zone. But so glad I did and I can't wait to start my next one." - Sharon from Australia

"I have just had the most wonderful 14 day opportunity to play with my horses with a different thought pattern to how I do things normally. The other wonderful thing is that I am isolated from lots of different horse people & it is brilliant to know I'm not alone in the things I do and feel! I live in Western Australia. Thank you Elaine & all the fantastic instructors who have shared their knowledge! Thank you to everyone who also did the challenges & shared their stories!! "

"I loved the variety of easily accessible training videos, the worksheets helped me take the work to my horse and practice in a structured manner. I enjoyed sharing my feedback and experiences with the facebook group and seeing their positive responses and experiences. I felt so connected to everyone. Everything seemed more possible. I do feel that I have passed a new milestone of confidence with Alamo. He has become even calmer, but still full of character and in a variety of new and potentially difficult circumstances. My horizons have expanded again. Thank You. " Jen

"The 14 Day Challenge is great no matter what level you are at with your horse. Every day had something valuable and it was filled with fun exercises to do with your horse." Karen , United States

"This program is a great way to introduce you to a number of different experts around the world in ways to improve your relationship with your horse, to be able to 'listen' to the horse and develop that soft feel and connection that makes you and your horse partners. Each day provided a short video, questions to ask yourself, 'homework' to do with your horse, and links to the experts' web sites for further detail. In a short time you get exposed to a lot of great teachers and ideas". USA
