International known Intuitives Barbara Rasor, HHP and Nan Martin, LSH/CRP are teaming up to offer several unique learning opportunities in the South Florida Area. Barbara and Nan both have extensive expertise in the use of therapeutic grade essential oils for emotional and physical wellbeing in humans and animals, and specifically equines. Nan is an avid equestrian trainer and rider. Oils not only promote release of negative emotions and patterning but help to re-anchor new patterns and restore cells to their original blueprint.
In this clinic, horse owners and riders will learn how to use intuition and therapeutic grade essential oils to achieve emotional and physical wellbeing, increase communication between horse and rider and more. Learning to use your intuition and essential oils will ultimately improve your riding, and the connection between you and your horse. Several demonstrations will take place. More on the website.

Centered Riding clinic with Sue Leffler, a renown level 4 instructor, on May 13-15, 2011. It is hosted at la Ferme du Centaure, Qc. Please see the stable’s website for more information: http://www.fermeducentaure.ca
What is Centered Riding? It is neither a new discipline nor a training method. It applies to every discipline, every rider, and every horse. Centered Riding techniques help promote suppleness, stability, and clearer aids, making riding more comfortable for both horse and rider. You’ll discover how your breathing can relax and soften your horse, and how your stiffness and imbalance can cause resistance on your horse just to name few.
Sue gives concrete and simple exercises to help the rider understand and feel the 4 Basics of Centered Riding (see http://www.centeredriding.org for more information). Everyday, there will be a theoretical hour for riders and spectators to clearly understand some important points. This clinic is absolutely a must if lightness and harmony are your priorities!
For additionnal information (price, schedule etc) see the website http://www.x-equo.com/ in the agenda section.
Hurry up; there is a special price before January 31!
