A Positive Start I + R Transformational Online Experience - Nurture the Spirit of Your Heart Horse

A step-by-step recipe to become your horse's favorite trainer ever and connect with the horse you adore like never before - with calm, polite, engaged responses to +R training!

Want to gain the understanding AND the ability to create and shape polite behavior through a clear language of CONSENT by teaching your horse to want to (and willingly choose to) control its own impulses while focusing on the horse’s emotions, comfort and feelings of well-being (in about 30 days).

What you'll experience: 

Deepen the heartfelt connections that you already have with your horse and broaden your foundations of mutual trust, communication and confidence with positive reinforcement…plus enjoy personal transformations too.

If you are interested in feeling the relief of knowing that your horse can choose to be CALM and soft, mannerly and motivated, and ENGAGED and responsive, I am going to teach you to help your horse control its impulses and feel good about doing it when you are using food to reward instead of having a horse that is:

  • pushing into your space,
  • mugging or overly excited or
  • acting entitled,
  • without either of you being frustrated or confused in the process.

You’ll be able to

-read, respond to and reward your horse while honoring them in a way that resonates with you both and effectively creates results.

-flow easily and quickly through simple, bite sized CHC style online lessons/recipes, so you can be off to the barn playing with your horse and your newfound understanding and skills almost immediately.
-Understand how to use the feedback from each of your sessions with your horse to create the results you desire

You and your horse will be comfy in your own skin, feel safe and secure, and enjoy your CHC Style +R training sessions without:

  • Boredom or falling asleep in front of the screen watching long videos without immediate results
  • The stress of heavy homework requiring video uploads on tight timelines
  • The frustration of feeling like a number and being unable to get expert feedback from the content creator (Melissa Deal -certified instructor, Connection Training Coach and CHC founder plus have access to CHC Staff and Members too).
  • Struggling to connect the dots and to understand and apply complicated techniques that require tons of skill and experience
  • Feeling isolated from others who are sharing your +R values and experiences
  • The confusion of not having a concise step by step recipe to follow and being able to see what you're going to practice and play with, plus variations of how it might go with your own horse - before you try it.
  • Hiring someone to help you who doesn’t have the experience, expertise or proven track record of teaching people to train willing engagement without creating too much excitement or tension around food.
  • Needing expensive equipment or specific facilities

By the end of this experience, like so many other CHC participants, you’ll have more trust and confidence in yourself and your horse. You’ll know that you can have a horse with consistent calm attentive default behaviors. You'll find your horse's behaviors far more predictable. And you'll be able to help your horse feel good without being overly excited or anxious around food. Your horse will be able to learn and retain it’s +R training, while both of you enjoy the ease of a common language, effective reward-based communication and an affectionate bond that will be the foundation of everything you want for your future together!
