Indian Riding is
a horse-friendly trekking and free style
of riding which is characterised by the following
points:
-
Sensitive
riding in a comfortable western saddle
and with a bitless bridle.
-
Riding
with long reins or a neck ring.
-
Establishing
a relationship between horse and rider
on the ground and in the saddle.
-
Precise
and skilful communication with the horse.
-
Knowing
and understanding your own body, thoughts
and feelings.
-
Knowledge
about the natural behaviour of horses.
-
Fun
for horse and rider.
Imagine: You feel totally at one with your horse. Every change of direction
is effortless and seems to happen “by itself”. Your horse trusts
you because you are his leader. You can ride for hours without getting
stiff muscles. You take home with you the knowledge gained at FINCA VERDE
and the unforgettable memories of the wonderful „Island of Eternal
Spring“, being able to apply what you have learnt to your own horse.

This
training week is designed for advanced
riders (no matter which riding style
they have practised before), a great
opportunity to learn Indian Riding and
to expand your knowledge about this relaxing
riding style.
You will learn how a horse is acting
and why natural behaviour and knowledge
about the horse’s psychological
structure are important when you work
with a horse.
Would you like to understand the horse’s
language? What do terms such as dominance,
consistency and clear instruction mean
and how can you put them into action?
These and other important questions will
be discussed in our course and practiced
in our riding school.
During the advanced training week you
will learn how to lead your horse consistently
and how to ride it harmoniously. You
will practice on the ground and in the
saddle with our well-trained horses.
With playful exercises you will easily
learn how to handle horses.
Professional theoretical and practical
tuition will make you familiar with this
horse-friendly riding style quickly.
The correct handling of a Bitless Bridle ®,
riding with a neck ring, video analysis,
riding without saddle, round pen work,
and one trail in the beautiful mountains
of northern Tenerife will make this training
week unforgettable.

Horseriding
for the over-50s… It’s never too late
to learn to ride! |
|
| |
Was
learning to ride a horse your childhood dream?
Would you like to learn how to horsewhisper?
Then now is the time to make your dream come
true. The oldest beginner we have taught
to ride was 68, and Markus’s grandmother
first sat in the saddle at 80!
Take advantage of our years of experience and
enjoy an unforgettable holiday on the island
of eternal spring.
Our horse-riding courses are adapted to all
your needs. You will learn everything about
the horse’s nature step-by-step, both
the theory and the practice. From day one you
will learn how you should approach a horse,
how to put on the halter, how to clean it and
brush it, how to handle it correctly and, of
course, you will learn to ride properly. You
will soon feel at home in the comfortable cowboy
saddle.
Learning to ride will be a great source of
happiness and pleasure to you under the instruction
of Lena, qualified horseriding teacher, Andrea
Eschbach-Kindler, qualified
physiotherapist and horseriding teacher and Markus
Eschbach-Kindler, qualified social
worker and qualified Rai horseriding teacher.
We would be only too happy to answer any queries
and receive any requests you may have and,
if you are a little nervous, don’t worry,
we will be patient with you.
You will be surprised how quickly and well
you will take to riding. We can also teach
you to ride and even gallop with nothing but
a lasso around the horse’s neck.
Our classes include fun games that will test
your skill and help you relax. With the help
of video analysis we can help you to identify
and correct errors more easily. We teach you
the tricks and secrets of horse whisperers.
You will learn the principles of this special
job and how to communicate with the horse in
the Round Pen. We also offer intensive training
courses on this subject (with us at the FINCA
VERDE or abroad). By day five you will already
feel secure in the saddle and you’ll
be able to enjoy a full day’s excursion
in the saddle accompanied by our instructors.

We take a maximum of 5 persons per course
so we can guarantee that the horseriding
teacher can give you the attention you
need to quickly master and consolidate
your horseriding skills.
If you are planning to buy a horse sometime in the future you have come to the
right people. Over our course we will teach you the principles of the natural
relationship between man and horse and give you advice and hints about how to
maintain this natural relationship.
You can reserve your place on this training course for one or two weeks. During
the second week we go into what we have taught in more depth and organise two
or three horseriding excursions. |

Horse
Communication in the Round Pen |
|
| |
Horse whispering made
understandable. |
|
|
|
Dates: |
Upon request in all European countries.
Click here to check our updated agenda. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
About the course: |
We learn the basic principles
of horse language and discover how communication
works between horses and humans. This will be achieved
by observing and interpreting the horses’ signals
and by training awareness and efficient use of
our own body language in the dialogue with horses.
The “round pen”, a small enclosed arena,
serves us as classroom in which we can safely work
with the horses and practise our communication
skills. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Who can participate: |
Participants do not
need any kind of riding knowledge, and no prior
knowledge or experience about work in the round
pen or other „natural horsemanship“ is
required. At the same time horsewomen/men who have
practised some “natural horsemanship communication“ before
will equally benefit. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Ablauf: |
2 days of theory and practical training.
2 days round pen work, 10.00 - 13.00 hrs. and 14.00
- 17.00 hrs. |

About the course: |
We approach the horse from the ground.
With various exercises inspired by Pat Parelli
and Heinz Welz we create a trustful basis for our
encounter with the horse. Exercises of trust, establishing
a respectful relationship, learning to cease to
any kind of pressure, sovereign leadership, being
led, and other exercises help us to come to a deeper
understanding between horse and human. This way
we create a strong basis for riding the horse. |

About the course: |
Is horse language a
closed book for you? Together we will enter into

language. If you want to gain a deep and sympathetic
understanding of the horse, you have to learn the
fundamental principles of their way to communicate,
and understand and apply these principles. |
