Lessons
Mindful horsemanship is a compassionate, consent-based approach to horse training that prioritizes the horse's well-being, voice, and individuality.
At Elements Equine Bodyworks, we believe in listening to our horses and never pushing them beyond their thresholds. Instead, we work collaboratively to develop a strong foundation based on trust, kindness, and gentle methods. This approach not only nurtures a positive partnership but also helps build confidence and long-term success.
​
We take pride in offering a unique, ethical training experience that focuses on achieving correct biomechanics. Proper movement and body alignment are key to a horse's long-term health and happiness. Our goal is to help horses move in a way that promotes strength, balance, and comfort, ensuring they stay sound and content throughout their careers.
​
At Elements Equine Bodyworks, we integrate massage therapy into our training program to enhance relaxation and promote recovery for your horse. As a boutique training business, we offer personalized 1:1 support, allowing us to dedicate ample attention to each client. With fewer clients, we ensure a high level of care and customized training solutions tailored to your horse's specific needs.
​
Our comprehensive services include training, lessons, and sales options, designed to meet your goals and aspirations in the world of western horse riding.
