A Horse Whispering Experience for everyone
Ever wanted to have contact with horses, but outrides
seem scary? Ever wondered what it would be like to have a horse as a friend for
a day? To have a horse connect with you and bring out the hidden horseman in
you? Before you are even on his back? Kilgobbin Friesian Stud invites you to
find that horseman within you….come spend a morning playing with magnificent
Friesian horses and learn more than just horse sense!
At Old Kilgobbin farm in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands’ Dargle Valley, you will
be introduced to natural horsemanship. Here, over the course of three to four
hours, you will acquire the basic knowledge and skills required for engaging
with horses on the ground, rather than on their backs.
Your first task could be to lead the horse allocated to you in a figure of
eight around two of the barrels in a paddock that resembles a giant playground.
As you soon realise, no amount of tugging and pulling, or whispering for that
matter, is going to get a suspicious 600 kg Friesian to do your bidding. By the
end of the training, you will be standing in the centre of an arena with your
horse “at liberty” (without halter), successfully instructing it to circle,
stop, change direction, come to the centre, walk backwards to the perimeter and
circle again – using only body movement and gesture.
In the few intervening hours you will learn that
communicating with horses (rather than coercing them) has got nothing to do with
whispering and everything to do with horse play!
Not just for horse lovers! Takkies, sunscreen and a sense
of fun is all that is required!
Held most days at Old Kilgobbin Farm, no12, D707,
Dargle, KZN. Booking is essential. Small private groups as well as larger
corporate groups are catered for.
Please note: no children under 12 and no outrides offered.
“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the
inside of a man”.
