‘Embodying Union Through Horses.’

 

 

A Non-Dual Approach to Riding Horses:

Katharine applies the concept of a friendly, trust-based, two-way communication system to riding.

Her holistic approach to horse wo’manship and learning to ride in 800 acres includes catching your riding horse, grooming consciously connecting as Presence, tacking up, working-in-hand as well as groundwork such as halter-work, lunging and When Horses Choose Technique W.H.C.

Based in Austin Texas, Katharine provides a natural, peaceful environment, for horses and humans, allowing for the awareness of Conscious Presence. 

Katharine focuses on riding solutions for all riders from all riding genres.  Learning to ride in saddle and bare back with bridles and eventually without bridles.
