Workshop Details
Communication without limits!
Horse-in-Balance is a way of communicating with your horse that makes everything possible!
Every help we as humans provide must mean exactly one thing for the horse. It must be logical for your horse, because horses are extremely intelligent and always think along - as long as there is something to be understood!
Your help and methods must be so clear that no matter if from the ground or the back of the horse you can reach anything (also dressage movement) in liberty!
With your carefully built relationship and communication you can help your horse through any difficult situation! It is up to you to decide where you want to reach together with your horse!

Program Summary
Surround yourself with the healing and inspiring spirit of Joseph’s Dream Stud in the silence of the African bush! Learn and sharpen your horsemanship skills and your holistic view of a balanced horse.
In this training retreat we are focussing on liberty, groundwork, balance and deep connection!
Learn from Susanne how to establish a true connection of trust to communicate in liberty with your horse to reach your unlimited goals force free with this strong foundation of Horse-in-Balance communication.
You will learn how to read the horse as individual and how to approach this in a unique training way while using the ingredients of your newly gained insides & methods in the right dose and timing.
We are taking it slow during this retreat and are respecting the horses as well as your personal pace and feelings and the nature around us. As always here at JD we can promise you will learn at least as much about yourself as you will learn about horses...
Take your time and breathe in the stunning and intense African nature, colourful sunrises and sunsets everyday and let your soul be filled up by the incredible concert of nature in these magical hours of the day! View our free roaming game at our local waterhole at dusk or dig into a book at your private luxury terrace of your chalet. Enjoy a dip into your private sitting pool on your veranda with a glass of wine. Take a stroll amongst the paddocks and meet our affectionate JD foals & Alpacas or indulge in some sweet cuddles from our Mini Donkeys and Mini Horses...
Our peaceful and modern shaped green village provides accomodation for you during your stay in one of our brand-new chalets with private toilet and bathroom. Our very limited number of maximum 8 participants for this special retreat ensures that the desired family character of the whole experience stays alive and provides the opportunity for personal attention and questions.
