Horse Magic In The Midlands - your very own self-discovery adventure.
Perhaps you love horses and would like to ride...but would prefer to learn at
your own pace? Perhaps you would like a bit of fun? Are you thinking of
corporate team-building? Haycroft's Horse Magic Day Programme is an truly
motivating and inspiring experience.
Haycroft Welsh Cob & Sport Horse Stud is well situated in the Natal Midlands,
from the N3 only 6 km's from Howick and Midmar. Breathtaking views, majestic
horses and the opportunity for self-discovery is what "Magic with Horses" is all
about.
We would like to introduce you to a new concept, a "day programme" where horses
are not only used for riding purposes but to encourage the awakening of our true
potential in life. Research has now been documented showing that horses
dramatically reduce the stress levels in one's body and being calm and centered
opens the channels for intuition to speak. This unique horse experience helps us
strengthen our own relationships as we discover within ourselves the qualities
of thoughtfulness, perceptiveness, sensitivity and quiet strength.
Haycroft offer a unique learning experience where you learn how to talk to
horses in their own language and master ground skills before getting into the
saddle. Even if you have never ridden or even been around horses much, you will
find the "Horse Magic Day programme" unforgettable.
The day begins at 9.00 am in the main arena at Haycroft. The programme includes
an introductory talk and questionnaire, lessons on basic horsemanship and then
Andrea (horse facilitator) will help you to select the horse you most want to be
with for the day. Bonding with the right horse plays a big part in being able to
ride successfully, so at Haycroft we help you choose a riding horse that will
take you from ground work to positive riding in the saddle. We end the day with
a lovely ride through the enchanting forests and up on the hills with stunning
views of the Drakensberg in the distance. The programme finishes off at about 4
pm and remember you don't have to have any horse experience to take part in this
programme - we will adapt to suit you!!
"This is a day of pure, rare joy! Horse and human interaction where you talk,
walk, whisper, ride and join with horses. It's a great feeling when your horse
invites you into his world!" says Farrell Burnett, "Haycroft is such a fantastic
place to be, I'll be back!."
The "Horse Magic" Day Programme is ideal for people of all ages from all walks
of life, great for team-building for corporate teams or school children as a
motivating, character building exercise.
Haycroft's Horse Magic Day Programme facilitators and instructors include
Gillian Borros, Andrea Kittle and Allan Makawara. Gillian Borros is the owner of
Haycroft and runs her own arts and communication company. Gill is a fan of horse
gentling and will introduce this core concept. Gill is excited about the
positive results from the "horse magic" programme, "It is so rewarding to offer
such a unique programme where ordinary people can get in touch with nature and
their deepest longings and feel the freedom that horses introduce. Our
participants take away so much!" Andrea Kittle started riding horses at a young
age and is an accomplished rider, competitor and instructor of children and
adults. Allan Makawara is our head horse handler
in charge of foaling and imprinting.
