Thank you for visiting Destination: Consensus Equus.
The goal at DCE is to bring horses and humans closer together in a manner that affects both parties positively. The idea for DCE got started when I noticed a distinct "disconnect" in some current training versus what sat in the great leather bound books on my shelf. The part that affected me most was the disregard for the horse's emotional well being, and the dismissal of the process, and emphasis on the end result.
There is a flexibility that must be present in teaching any being. Children learn in different ways, and so do horses. As I allowed my horses to guide me in their education process, I quickly realized that the horse under me needed to be the highest consideration every step of the way. Hence, "Chaque pas est fait ensemble" as one of my guiding mantras. It translates to "every step taken together."
"Light off the leg, soft in the hand. Ride the horse and not the plan."
