Considering horsemanship alone, it seems like they have a pretty good approach. I kind of get a bad feeling from the spiritual tones in their program and philosophy though.

What is HorsceryTM?



Take the power and discipline of the martial arts,
the deep wonder of interspecies communication,
the spontaneous freedom of improvisational theater,
the healing magic of a shamanic journey
and the warm laughter of humans savoring hope ...
Weave together and bind with
the intoxicating, heartbreaking smell of a horse,
the luminous abyss of a horse’s eye,
and the bone, heart, mind shattering force of a single horse’s kick
and that, all that, is Horscery.

HorsceryTM teaches us about ourselves in relationship.

. I think there is a strong need for caution when it comes to these things. I can give you a bunch of bible references about conflicts of interest between the bible and the kind of mysticism talked about here if you need them. And that's because I have had to really dig into them on account of my own experiences. You can find really great horsemanship programs out there that have the philosophy of getting the horse to trust you and to want to work for you. It's been a few years since I have checked this out, but you might even look into John Lyons. I know his courses have really expanded in the last few years. I imagine there has to be something directed towards kids.
