Natural Horsemanship
Klein woordje over de filosofie en betekenis van Natural Horsemanship: een natuurlijke manier van omgaan met paarden,
waarbij men kijkt naar hun instincten en kuddementaliteit.
De natuur, de behoefte, het gedrag, en het instinct staan hier centraal.
Voor de relatie tussen paard en mens wordt gebruik gemaakt
van methodes zoals communicatie die te herkennen zijn
door observaties van paarden in het wild.
Het doel is om door meer begrip een communicatie op te bouwen die gebaseerd zijn op wederzijds respect en vertrouwen.
Natural Horsemanship is geen discipline op zich,
maar een manier van omgaan met paarden.
De onmisbare basis voor iedereen die een eigen paard heeft of wil aankopen.
