Winter 2026
Balancing reinforcement & relationship with your horse.
​​​
​Are you a horse person who:
​
-
Is feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed at the amount of information available, and wants to make their own informed judgements
-
Is ready to stop following the crowd, and instead find a different, more authentic way of communicating and relating to their horse
-
Is curious about what reinforcement really means, and how to weave it into their horse training.
-
Wants to feel empowered to discern between what is supportive or not for their horse.
​
How this workshop can support you:
​
-
This workshop will explore how relationship and reinforcement intertwine, the helpful and unhelpful bits.
-
If you are in this space, it is likely that you have heard the terms ‘positive and negative reinforcement’.
-
You may be feeling like there is more to learn, or feel confused about what this means, and how it might help/hinder you & your horse; in your learning, development and relationship.
-
And where you come away feeling more empowered, clearer, and ready to weave in reinforcement in a way that supports your horse and your relationship together.
​​
Plus, have a slice of cake, a drink and a chit chat with likeminded folks.

"As a person who has horses in for training that have had some issues, it has been so helpful to have Cat to help when I hit a blank with a particular horse. No matter what we did the get the horse to relax with training she couldn’t. She had all the vet checks, X-rays and scans to check everything was ok. She had so much tension in her withers. She was an ex racer.
Cat came in to do an attunment session and my goodness I couldn’t believe the change. She yawned so many times, Cat picked up on the withers and helped this mare to release the tension and trauma she was holding. I wouldn’t have a believed it if I hadn’t seen for myself! Not only did the mare relax and become more in tune with me, she also stopped all the reacting around the wither.
Cat also helped show us how to help the mare ourselves during our training sessions and the changes really helped me with the training. I think Cat's attunment sessions really help with the relationship between horses and humans. It allows the horses to feel heard when they are holding onto old traumas. Give Cat a try would be my advice! "
