What an amazing weekend on the Trust Technique course with James, Shelley, Evie and the beautiful horses. James is such a warm, peaceful person, and a very gentle teacher. Lots of happiness and humour while learning to regard animals and help them with the Trust Technique. I`ve come away feeling very peaceful and I hope I helped to give some of that peacefulness to the horses I sat with. They are a really special group of horses, so gentle and affectionate and sometimes cheeky (Blueboy!) They are so full of character and how I wish I could be around them everyday. James and Shelley have the most amazing life helping those animals. I couldn’t think of a better thing to do in life. If I can do another course at Mane Chance with them I will do.

I have been around horses for many years in a very informal way. I loved the approach taken by James, and the Trust Technique results are beyond amazing. After a truly heartwarming weekend, i have today spent time with my own horses, starting to put into practice what I have learned this weekend. That was a wonderful experience, and one I look forward to repeating tomorrow. My little herd of three and I will benefit SO much from what I have learned.

I fully recommend this technique for anyone who wants to connect with animals on a very deep, compassionate and fulfilling level; and really feel that given the opportunity, your animal companions would ask you to attend! !

This was an amazing, life changing, weekend. James and Shelly have shown me a completely different approach to ‘working’ with horses and I feel a new door has opened for me in how address Issues in the future.

Thank you so, so much. I am exhausted but reflective and it’s all positive. My confidence about being with horses is restored and am keen to share with others. Try it, there is nothing too and so so much to gain.

Thank you

Colin

It was by pure divine intervention that I found and was able to attend the Clinic on 31st of May 2014. It is truly one of the most profound experiences that I have ever had. I was reminded of my true self again. It reaffirmed my beliefs that we are not here to dominate animals but to walk side by side with them, in harmony and with love and respect. We should not dominate and overpower them with our demands, to then be upset and angry when they do not respond in the way we wanted them to. The weekend with the horses was so peaceful and harmonious. Learning about the trust techniques and the effects it has and then seeing this in practice on humans and animals alike is very humbling. I have since started to apply this to all aspects of my life and the ripple effect on relationships, business, my pets and all animals round me has been truly amazing to see. In all this, I have found a calm, peaceful place that has made my life so much better. I would just like to say big thank you to James, Shelly and all the horses at Mane Chance; what you do matter so much to humans and animals!

I attended the Trust Technique Clinic at Mane Chance Sanctuary on the 31st May and 1st June, travelling from Ireland. It was an amazing experience and life changing for both humans and animals. I can only highly recommend attending one of the clinics (even if you live abroad, it is worth travelling for it). Mane Chance Sanctuary is a beautiful and soothing place, a little piece of Heaven on Earth. James and Shelley are inspirational, very warm and kind. Their passion for the Trust Technique and the welfare of the horses and all animals shines through. I came out of the week-end feeling very peaceful and have managed to keep the present moment feeling with me ever since and my dogs love it. A big Thank You again to James and Shelley for the unforgettable experience.
