Reach Out to Holistic Horsemanship Comprehensive Training Program

  1. ROTH Holistic Horsemanship Foundation Certification Course
  2. ROTH Train the Trainer
  3. ROTH Instructor Apprenticeship Program

Reach Out to Horses® is excited to announce the launch of the Holistic Horsemanship Comprehensive Training Program.  Whether your goal is to begin a career or you want to develop your skills to become a well-rounded expert in the Equine industry, this program has something for you.  This unique opportunity is not for everyone.  It is for those who truly want to learn how to help horse and human create a real trust-based partnership.  In short, if the horses have called to you, if you have a heart-felt desire to make a difference in the world of the horse then we can help you turn that dream into a reality.

Although this is a comprehensive program, we understand that as quickly as you want to complete the training, you still have a life you need to live (at least we hope you do).  That’s why each segment of the program is designed to allow individuals the chance to study the methods at their leisure, returning to the Center when time and finances allow. 

You can choose to explore the first stages, gaining valuable training and insight into the world and training of the horse, or complete the training and become a certified ROTH Instructor – the choice is yours!

This is your chance to join a team of experts who are lifting the Natural Horsemanship Industry up to the next level with new revolutionary communication principles.

Certificates of Completion of the Reach Out to Horses® Holistic Horsemanship
Introductory Course will be given to those completing all
3-parts.


Section One:
12-Day Program: 9am – 5pm supervised training each day (2 hours additional daily study is required for horse psychology project and an alternative therapies presentation)

Extend your knowledge of the language of Equus by attending this 3-part intensive course.  This program is designed to provide you with

insights into the language of the horse from body language to feeling and controlling energy through to inter-species communication.  You will be introduced to another way of communicating and relating to horses and expand your knowledge to encompass everyday aspects of handling. 

Through herd observations and exercises you will learn how to

  • read your horse
  • behave and respond to them
  • gain respect and maintain ground manners
  • help them to overcome natural fears and concerns

We will examine ways to approach horses and respond to them correctly in their own environment of a stall, paddock or turn-out.  You will experience the impact your eyes have and learn how effective they can be to draw a horse to you, gain their attention, alter their speed or invoke a response.  You will also overcome catching difficulties, as you discover what motivates your horse, whilst creating an environment where they want to be with you, want to lower their head into the halter and later choose to give their defenses up by lifting their feet and even trotting into the trailer through freedom of choice!

As you work with your horse’s mind, you will learn the use of a pressure halter a way in which to introduce them to obstacles and to allow confidence to build for both of you during groundwork.  You will begin to recognize the way horses learn and the benefits this has for your later mount.  Free-schooling through body language and ground-driving techniques will be other areas we touch upon.  This practice will enhance your timing and pressure/release skills while allowing you to learn to trust your instinct – all of which will lead to harmony between you and your four-legged partner.
