I feel totally privileged to have found this way of working with animals. Thank you so much to James French for being such and excellent and patient teacher and all the other people and animals involved that have played their part in explaining, showing and sharing how it all works in so many different environments and circumstances. I have concentrated on using the trust technique with my mare and we have been on an amazing journey together as we have followed this course. She is a highly sensitive horse and the amazing combination of present moment and mindful regard has assisted us to cope with, the death of a close herd member, enforced moves to 3 new places in search of a permanent home and introductions to new herds along the way. I was full of anxiety and concern as to how she would cope with these experiences at first, but now I know, with my support, she will deal with everything calmly and peacefully. The trust technique has prepared me to be open to what she has to teach me. I feel this course has been the best kind of course as it has taught me through head, hand and heart. I have learned things intellectually, then have had to do it, then reflect on how the whole thing has effected me emotionally and spiritually. Thank you so much for this life enhancing experience.
