The
student
"I take the time to guide my students towards
fluidity, so they can become one with their horse on the ground and riding. Rather than using strong aids and force, I teach
my students to connect with their horses mentally, emotionally and physically. My students learn to use their intentions,
inner energy and strength of their core. They gain an important knowledge of the horse's natural instincts and learn
how horses communicate inside their herd via common rituals, so that they can better understand them." Mirka Pitts
The
equine partner
"While training a horse I focus on his
overall balance. While the horse's mental connection and emotional stability are important, I have learned to pay
a close attention to their physical balance which can be positively influenced even from the ground via certain excercises."
