Lotus Horsemanship

Classes, workshops, and individual instruction in horsemanship. Emphasis on mindfulness, partnership-building, fun, and safety. We love "problem" horses!

Please go to https://lotushorsemanship.com for more info. The way I train and teach is grounded in what many people call natural horsemanship. I incorporate concepts and methods from neuroscience, meditation traditions, learning theory, classical dressage, and trauma treatment. As a former competitor as well as a pleasure rider, I’ll help you develop fun and excellence. My approach is based on 4 p

rinciples:
Understanding the Horse
Understanding the Human
Building Communication
Entering the Place of Wonder

Whether you’re new to horses or have been riding a long time, I can help you get connected at a whole new level so you can do more with horses. If you don’t have a horse, that’s ok – you can start learning with one of mine. You can expect clear communication and a caring environment that will optimize your learning. I use a collaborative approach to teaching that’s centered on non-judgement. I’ll find the best in you and help you grow it. I’ll challenge you, while remaining sensitive to your needs and limits. There are lots of ways to learn with me; please see the Lotus Horsemanship website for more information: https://lotushorsemanship.com

Soooo....I love being present with horses, and that means that things like social media get neglected. Here's one of the things that was going on at Lotus Horsemanship over the past 5 months: the clinic and demos at the State Fair last September ended up being a blast! Mariah Wilson Shannon Burt and the rest of their team did such an awesome job organizing everything. I loved working with all of the different horses and lovely people. Thank you Lauren Aston Art Kathy Meidell and Gigi Solis Reid for the photos!

Beau got reacquainted with the trailer today: we took the halter off and hung around inside with the door open for 15 minutes, figured out how to turn around to exit. It has taken a while for him to get comfortable again getting into a trailer so I’m super proud of this beautiful guy.

This video shows some ways we can build consensual partnership through liberty play.

What is liberty play? It’s when we play and learn with horses without using halters, lead-lines, bridles, etc.

What is consensual partnership? It’s when the horse chooses to engage with you and goes all in for whatever you’re doing together! And you go all in to attuning to their needs and reading them more deeply.

This process feeds our souls (both horse and human); it creates safety, better biomechanics, and greater health. All the work we do at liberty translates to working under saddle, trailer loading, farrier and vet work, etc.

I’ll be conducting a Liberty for Consensual Partnership demo at the New Mexico State Fair on Monday, Sept 9, at 6 pm in the Indoor Horse Arena. It’s free!

And on Tuesday, September 10 from 9 am-4 pm, I’ll be holding a clinic in the Outdoor Horse Arena. It’s free to watch, and there will be spots for up to 8 participants with their horses. Clinic spots are $90 and include a free stall. Send me a dm or click on the link for more info:https://cdn.saffire.com/files.ashx?t=fg&rid=NewMexicoStateFair&f=Lotus_Horsemanship_Clinic.pdf

Hope to see you there!

Paloma’s first ride on Bud:
This is a textbook example (if there were textbooks for these things, lol) of how to prepare at liberty for a first ride. Paloma is holding boundaries, building relaxation and trust, taking time, and finding such a lovely synchrony with Bud, so that he is able to walk off from subtle cues after she gets on.
Paloma is a novice rider with enormous talent and natural feel. Bud is a rescue horse who spent years in solitary confinement, was somewhat starved, and became dangerous because of his size and lack of confidence. He has struggled to feel OK moving out under saddle, but he blossoms here with Paloma. Beautiful job to both of you, and it’s such an honor to watch your connection grow!
