the three “r’s” - program pillars

RESET – Nervous System Regulation

Horses can’t learn when they’re stuck in fight, flight, or freeze. This state looks different for every horse. Sometimes it’s a lot of spooking, sometimes it’s complete shut-down, and other times it shows up as resistance or unwillingness. Before we ask for anything, we help them find safety in their own body using breathwork, polyvagal techniques, and meditative groundwork.

When a horse feels safe, everything changes.

RELEASE – Tension & Emotional Holding

Many horses carry seen and unseen tension, whether from past experiences, inconsistent handling, or even their conformation. Through meditative groundwork and energetic touch, we help them release stress, unlock their movement, and express themselves freely.

This work is powerful for anxious, withdrawn, reactive, or shut-down horses—but every horse can benefit. (Vet checks are essential. Please share whatever will help us help them.)

REFRAME – Strength, Balance & Body Awareness

Once a horse feels safe and tension-free, we can guide them toward better movement patterns that promote strength, balance, and longevity. This isn’t about forcing them into a frame—it’s about helping them move in a way that feels good and sets them up for success in any discipline. Ground pole patterns, hills, and practicing softness, flexion, and straightness are the name of the game.
