WILD HORSE OR BURRO GENTLING
6-WEEK EFL WORKSHOP:
HORSE♥MAN♥SHIP FOR THE HEART

Learn about the process of gentling a wild horse or burro for your own self-development. By learning about the Shooting Stars Horse♥Man♥Ship least resistance (Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive) gentling techniques, training philosophies, and foundation in both heart and science you can develop your own kindness, compassion, capacity, authenticity and aligned action. This 6-week experiential learning workshop will start with the arrival of untouched wild burros, mustangs, or other at-risk equines. The group will meet 3 hours weekly during my process of gentling the equines and finding forever homes for them. Each week will include a 1-hour EFL HERD observation group session, gentling and training demonstrations, group discussion for understanding and growth, and other activities to integrate the learning into your life going forward (TBD based on the group). There will be a private Facebook group where I can keep you involved and updated between our live immersion days (email or texting can be used if you don't Facebook) so you can enjoy the equine progress during the week. This is for people ages 14 and up who are interested in learning how to create willing partnership with a wild equine and apply what they learn to their own life. Horse or donkey experience is not needed to attend and benefit from the program - just a true desire to learn and connect with these amazing animals. As a bonus, your participation in the workshop helps 2 mustangs or 4 burros get out of government holding (there are about 50,000 waiting to find homes), gentled, trained with basic skills needed in our domestic world and placed in loving forever homes (or other at-risk equine). Connection. Belonging. Care. Compassion. Kindness. Responsibility. Relationship. Trust. Communication. Honesty. Integrity. Curiosity. Choice. Boundaries. Fun. Reward. Fairness. Personal beliefs. Reflection. Awareness. Intention. There is so much to explore and learn from the wisdom of equines! Invest in yourself, your family and your community by taking this 6-week course. Full cost to be paid with registration to attend. Start dates to be determined by participant interest timed with new loads of untouched wild mustangs and burros and contingent upon my current schedule. The registration process will not be complete until payment is made and accepted. Payments will not be accepted until all intake forms are complete and workshop dates have been chosen.
