Expect burning questions to be answered, missing jigsaw pieces to be connected and refreshing ideas & perspectives to be unlocked. So that you come away unstuck, empowered, and ready to take the next step, whatever that looks like for you.

Winter 2026

Balancing reinforcement & relationship with your horse.

​​​

​Are you a horse person who:

​

  • Is feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed at the amount of information available, and wants to make their own informed judgements

  • Is ready to stop following the crowd, and instead find a different, more authentic way of communicating and relating to their horse

  • Is curious about what reinforcement really means, and how to weave it into their horse training.

  • Wants to feel empowered to discern between what is supportive or not for their horse.

​

How this workshop can support you:

​

  • This workshop will explore how relationship and reinforcement intertwine, the helpful and unhelpful bits.

  • If you are in this space, it is likely that you have heard the terms ‘positive and negative reinforcement’.

  • You may be feeling like there is more to learn, or feel confused about what this means, and how it might help/hinder you & your horse; in your learning, development and relationship.

  • And where you come away feeling more empowered, clearer, and ready to weave in reinforcement in a way that supports your horse and your relationship together.

​​

Plus, have a slice of cake, a drink and a chit chat with likeminded folks.

"...The result is an empowered, authentic and incredibly non-judgemental..."

​

"...I’ve never known an approach quite like this, and the result is an empowered, authentic and incredibly non-judgemental. I can’t recommend Cat’s work highly enough"

​

"...She is a soft, open, grounded and attuned horsewoman...

 

"Cat helps humans and horses be more authentically themselves, allowing them to communicate and connect with each other on a whole new level. She is a soft, open, grounded and attuned horsewoman who will honour the horse and their unique experiences, and always go at the pace they need her to."

"...Fascinating insights to my work with my horses..."

​

"...All of the workshops brought fascinating insights to my work with my horses, and together we went further

 than I could have possibly dreamed of at the start of the year. Cat doesn’t have a technique that she makes everyone follow - instead, she provides us with resources and supports us in weaving them into our practice however feels right for us and our horses."

"...She helped spin my life around in the best possible way..."

 

"...I had a feeling of being ‘stuck’ and unable to move forwards in certain areas of my life. I was introduced to Cat and it straight away felt like she understood me and quite honestly helped spin my life around in the best possible way."

"...more sure in myself, and calmer overall..."

​

"...I've also grown noticeably to those around me

who tell me I seem much more sure in myself, and calmer overall.  I was dealing with a lot of fear and anxiety around horses at the beginning of the year, which was spilling over from my everyday life. Getting to understand my nervous system and learning how to become friends with it has been such a powerful tool that I can take with me wherever I am."

 "...I can advocate for him when I feel pressure from others..."

 

"This summer we went out and smashed all our goals together, but at the end of it all, I can come back to him and see just how far we have come in all the small ways that really matter too - we had our first lay down in the stable together,

 we met each other in conversation for the first time,

 I can advocate for him when I feel pressure from others"
