The benefits

Why Breathwork can help you and your horse

EFFECT ON YOUR TRAINING

By practicing breathing exercises, you ensure optimal training results. Your horse will recover faster, improve its fitness, and achieve great athletic potential.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Breathing and stress are linked. By understanding this connection and using breathing exercises, your horse can better manage stress.

A DEEPER CONNECTION

Doing breathing exercises has a positive effect on the relationship between you and your horse and deepens this connection.

Discover the power of breathing

A horse that can release its tension (better)… Wouldn't that be great?
In addition to all kinds of training techniques in the field of horse behavior, there is a very important part that is unfortunately quickly overlooked: breathing.
Door je paard te leren zijn ademhaling te veranderen en zo spanning los te laten, leer je hem ook hoe hij dit zelf kan toepassen in stressvolle situaties. Ademhaling is de sleutel als we het hebben over stressmanagement!

For every horse enthusiast.

The respiratory system and its connections help improve your horse’s overall functionality and well-being, while deepening the connection between you and your horse.
