Imagine experiencing a profound and effortless connection with your horse, where every interaction feels

harmonious and deeply fulfilling.

Our Multi-Day Soulful Connected Rider Clinic sets you on this path, teaching you how to develop subtle aids and intuitive communication that enhance your unique language of two.

This transformative journey goes beyond riding, fostering a soulful partnership that brings joy and a sense of unity in every moment spent together. 

Designed for individuals seeking to establish a deeper and more meaningful connection with their horses, this clinic provides guidance and hands-on practice to help you build your own unique language with your horse in a natural and intuitive way.

You find yourself lacking a clear path for

the journey you want to take now.

Your current approach no longer feels true

to your heart and soul, and you crave so much more.

The frustration of feeling directionless and sensing that something is missing in your relationship with your horse is overwhelming.

This lack of connectedness often leads to confusion and disappointment, leaving you feeling misunderstood and unable to reach your full potential together.

The elusive goal of harmony and oneness feels out of reach, making you feel stuck and longing for a deeper, more meaningful connection

Throughout the clinic, you'll experience a profound

shift in how you interact with your horse.

The techniques and exercises taught are

designed to foster trust and understanding, creating an environment where both you and your horse feel heard and seen.

You'll have a clearer direction and a renewed sense

of purpose in your journey with your horse,

empowered to achieve a

harmonious and fulfilling partnership

characterised by mutual high regard, trust,

and a shared sense of joy.

I finally feel like I can dance with my horse on the ground.

In hand work has never really appealed to me but Lynley combines the perfect mix of technical

knowledge, feeling and consideration for both the horse and rider.

Her methods are clear, fun and effective giving both myself and my horse many

"Aha" moments with a clear path to continue with at home.

I can't wait for Lynley to return so I can continue my journey with her.

"Evolving with Purpose: Lighting the Path Ahead”

She has this innate ability to know how far to extend me and my horses!

"Lynley is hands down the best instructor I have ever learned from.

I love how she puts the horse first, sand teaches us about communication, connection and awareness with our horses AND ourselves!

I have learnt a lot about exercises to help my horse become more supple, relaxed and responsive.

She is always positive, has a great sense of humour, and has this innate ability to know how far to extend me and my horses.

So That we continue to grow."

For over a decade, my passion has been centered around sharing with, and guiding others towards achieving profound connection, oneness and cultivating more enriching relationships with their horses.

This journey goes beyond riding styles and saddle preferences – it's about fostering a deep bond between horse and human.

Embark on a gentle and transformative journey with my Work In-Hand and Vaquero-inspired lessons. These sessions not only seek to expand your knowledge but also delicately shape and refine your skills. Together, you and your horse will craft a subtle, soft language, both from the ground and the saddle.

Embracing this sense of oneness opens the door to a more profound and fulfilling relationship, something that may have seemed like a distant dream until now. Join me in discovering the beauty of connection and understanding that goes beyond your tack.

“I believe your journey starts from wherever you are right now.
It doesn’t matter how old your horse is, what discipline you ride, or where you are in your relationship – my programs build on your experience to refine your ability to understand and speak with your horse.”
