Holistic Horse Development is a performance-oriented education and training program designed to guide a horse and rider along the path to realizing their ultimate athletic potential.
Our
vision is to get
students to take a wide view of the horse not just as an athlete capable
of amazing
feats of physical expression and inter-species bonding, but also as an
intelligent animal with thoughts, emotions, and needs. These unique
qualities
of Equus are enabled and enhanced by excellent health, soundness of body
and
mind, and the building of a relationship between horse and rider based
on
trust, clear communication, and mutual respect.
This panoramic way of
looking
at the whole horse, this new way of looking at the whole training
picture, is Holistic Horse
Development (HHD)™- an intensive
program of study focused on six natural, science-based philosophies and practices:
