THE POWER OF VOICE IN EQUINE COMMUNICATION

THE POWER OF VOICE IN EQUINE COMMUNICATION

Introduction:
In this episode of How We Communicate, Belinda Bolsenbroek delves into the transformative power of using one's voice when working with horses. She shares her experience of frequently communicating with her horses through gentle and comforting words, creating a warm and centred vibration that horses find soothing and reassuring. Belinda discusses how the voice can generate energy and regain the horse's attention without the need for yelling or high-pitched tones, which can be counterproductive.

Benefits:

  • Effective Communication: Learn how to use your voice to create a positive and calming influence on your horse. Belinda emphasises the importance of positive language, even in challenging situations, as it encourages your horse to try again and relax.
  • Improved Relaxation: Discover how maintaining a relaxed, flowing voice helps both you and your horse manage emotions and reduce anxiety. This approach fosters a calm, controlled partnership, which is especially beneficial during training and riding.
  • Enhanced Connection: Belinda highlights the similarities between communicating with horses and humans, stressing the need for a voice that conveys control and partnership. Additionally, she touches on the importance of using words and repetition with certain breeds that are more attuned to verbal cues.
  • Energy Management: Understand how the tone and energy of your voice can influence your horse's behaviour and responsiveness. By aligning your vocal energy with your horse's needs, you can create a more harmonious and effective communication channel.

Summary:
This session underlines the transformative role of voice in horse communication. By using a calm, soothing tone and positive language, you can create a deeper and more effective connection with your horse. Belinda’s insights into how voice can generate energy, manage anxiety, and enhance communication offer valuable tools for building a trusting and harmonious partnership with your horse.

Belinda Bolsenbroek

Belinda Bolsenbroek is an international authority on the Art of Classical Equitation in which the historic relationship between horse and human is expressed as a spiritual connection between two beings. Belinda harnesses the wisdom of the Old Masters, combines that wisdom with the science of biomechanics and shapes them both into a clear and defined practice that allows you to take your horsemanship to the next level.

Horses have stood at man’s side for over 4,000 years.They are our most noble companions and the ancient relationship of trust, honour and passion endures to this day.From the heroic war horse to the steady plough horse, our shared experience stretches back through the ages and is passed down to us through our genetic memories, our most prized ancestral gift.With Belinda’s guidance, you will discover this ancient inheritance and the pure joy that comes from a deep connection with your horse and look forward to the day when you become an ambassador, educator and an inspiration to others.
