Consultations

Is it bad behavior, or is your Horse scared, confused or in pain? Discover Answers to frustrating questions and problems no one can seem to solve.

Sacred Connections Equestrian offers in person, and online, remote consults to help you understand and resolve your horse’s individual challenges. For private or group consults, Sacred Connections Equestrian instructors travel to farms in Western North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina and Eastern TN.

Discover what is behind your horse’s spooky, uncooperative, or dangerous behavior. Discuss easy to understand, practical solutions that will help your horse become the willing, loving partner you’ve always dreamed of riding.

Consults take 1.5 to 2 hours and begin with an evaluation of hoof balance, movement, possible sources of pain or discomfort, communication, behavior, and rider’s influence.

We then discuss your needs and riding goals and determine if they are realistic for you and your horse.

Finally, your Sacred Connections Equestrian consultant will outline an easy to follow program to help you and your horse solve the problems causing the frustration, fear, risk and disconnect preventing you from loving each other.
