EVERY single one of us has the capacity to be, not just good with horses – but brilliant.
EVERY single one of us can have a horse who loves us and not for the feed bucket.
EVERY single one of us has the capacity to solve even the biggest problems with confidence and inner peace and happiness for ourselves AND our horses, achieving results far beyond what most people think is possible.
I get it. I understand that this most likely hasn’t been your experience and that you may well doubt me because of that – and I STILL look forward to smiling together in a live event one day when you’ve discovered the truth of it for yourself.
Sandra in the photo above (by Jo Thieme Photography) was one of the first people through this on line program 15 years ago. Since then hundreds of people have found confidence with more and more joy and more and more flashes of their own brilliance – some even with difficult and dangerous horses. Solving all kinds of problems, bringing a deeper bond with their horse and even the crappiest behaviors and the stickiest problems becoming humorous stories that start with “Do you remember when … ?”
And the health issue… don’t get me started at how big a contribution we make to our horse’s health and longevity with the way that we be with them here.
How?
HOW do we get that sucked into the saddle like a magnet feeling? HOW do we get that beautiful pair of spongey hands that feel so good to our horse, that outside of this program you’ll only see in the tiniest percentage of riders? HOW do we get to be so brilliant with horses?
Advanced listening to our horses is the answer – FEEL is the answer – combined with some innovative techniques that I’ll talk about later. Feel is the big deal. It’s the key to the kingdom of horses, the key to their heart and ours, the key to practical outcomes that turn us into world class horse people and I’ve figured out how to teach it in the sweet and easy routine of our horse’s life.
I’ve figured out how to teach the Feel for the inside of the horse that all the great horse men and women talk about. EVERYone has it. Some people have their innate natural talent clouded by all kinds of crap, but I’ve never met anyone I couldn’t teach to find Feel.
It’s YOU who are your horse’s hero
and it’s the horses who turn their hearts over.
You’ve arrived at this page having done one of our free lessons or heard from some of the many folks scattered around this website who’ve solved even difficult behavior problems themselves, found joy and happy tears and healing, who’ve talked about what Feel for their horse has done for their confidence and skill level and what it feels like to be so connected with their horses in a brilliant riding seat.
I work with troubled and unwell horses for a living and I know it’s a horse’s dream too, to be this well understood, to be that skillfully and gently handled – AND how easily most of them turn their hearts over.
So let’s talk about the elephant in the room.
If you’ve tried on-line horse courses you probably haven’t done too well with them. You’ve often been inspired, but getting those lovely results for yourself hasn’t been so easy and for one reason or another they’ve ended up in your in-box gathering expensive dust. Let’s get Corey to tell you how Fast Track is so different.
That’s Corey Mindlin, a dressage aficionado from NZ talking back in 2013. She also went nuts when she realized that we had managed to teach that supposedly unteachable Feel for your horse – in an online course – and we’re a lot better and faster at it 15 years later.
Let’s hit the highlights of Fast Track with some of the people who’ve done it, starting with the people side because YOU’re the hero here.
And then allow me to tell you about the extraordinary life changing bonus that’s available right now.
Sandra’s talking about how you don’t need to practice your riding anymore after doing these online lessons. You can learn new things and enjoy yourselves instead.
That’s Sandra campdrafting with her off the track thoroughbred Ghabbi, in outback Australia. She was talking about the advanced sports psychology meets leading edge physical therapy, meets the alternative healing that’s behind getting our stuck to the saddle, magnetic riding seat that we get so quickly – without needing to practice it – and again – in an on-line program.
No matter that it’s common to get injured in the horse world, it’s unusual for someone in our community to fall off – and that security too, is found in this on-line program.
Sue’s an advanced rider who didn’t even know that she didn’t feel safe. She was on Fast Track already when she popped out into that glorious feeling with the recording of an on-line clinic. How safe will you feel when you have a plugged in riding seat that’s kind of magnetized to your horse’s back, when your horse wants you there and when you can EFFORTLESSLY flow with their movement pretty much no matter what’s happening?
I’ve never met a bad rider. I’ve only met folks who had “stuff” stopping them from being a good rider – and we help them get rid of that stuff, so that their lovely new riding is automatic.
That’s our expertise here – getting rid of the stress and tension that’s stopping you from being in your natural riding position that makes practising unnecessary. And yes again, you get this in an online program. You do the work (although such joyful stuff doesn’t feel like work!) join in the live sessions as you can, and you’ll get the results.
This blurry old photo has a special and joyful meaning for me, you might have seen the video on the healing sessions page and heard the joy in her voice. My dear friend Leanne had just cleared up the stress and tension from a 20 year old, very serious horse fall that had been causing flashes of PTSD for all of those 20 years. Her injured body spontaneously healed with the release of that tension. 2 years of weekly psychotherapy hadn’t touched the edges of that PTSD. Doctors, masses of physio and chiropractic hadn’t fixed the injury either. We’ve included this work on Fast Track.
Has One-ness with your horse seemed out of reach?
You are ALREADY One with your horse and it’s not your fault that you can’t feel it yet!
In Leanne’s picture above I wrote “When we practice riding with our existing tension we’re just practising crap” See … It’s not some kind of lack in us of not being good enough, it’s the tension itself that’s causing the problem. It doesn’t simply disappear with practice – we just get used to it and compensate for it.
The tension causes a riding seat disconnection that’s been going on for so long that most people experience as normal. That underlying tension means there’s little to no clarity in the communication with our body, so the One’ness with your horse, that feeling of deep mind and body connection that you probably yearn for that already exists, we just can’t feel it.
Can you see why I can say I’ve never met a bad rider? It’s not your fault hey. It’s all fixable when we clear up that underlying tension – and in an online program – in this online program. Again… do the happy work get the results.
The seat disconnection can even cause another fall when something unexpected happens. Then we layer the tension from the next fall on top too – layer upon layer until eventually we’re a tension filled accident waiting to happen. That’s why we get anxious, because in our bodies we can feel it – we’re actually attracting the next accident.
If you’ve been experiencing something closer to PTSD around a horse fall like Leanne in the picture above or if you’ve had numerous falls or maybe even bad injuries from falling off and that’s what’s bringing you onto Fast Track, then let me know that when you come into the program so I can point you to extra resources – it’s completely fixable and the healing in this work – in an online program – is phenomenal.
Even as a beginner rider on her very first trail ride Valezka experienced flowing with her horse in this riding position when Topacio shied and yes a helmet would have been good.
Re-program your “oh shit” reactions to get you deeper into your riding seat and OUT of trouble instead of into it.
Oh mannn this feature of Fast Track is another that’s gonna’ knock your socks off.
That lovely incident happened in a five acre paddock. There are very few riders who are capable of such a brilliant automatic response and if you’re one of them then I take my hat off to you to acknowledge your skill and if you aren’t, you will be by the time you finish Fast Track.
It’s not bragging to say there’s very few riders who can do that – I’m serious. Hop on the internet and slowmo every video of a horse doing a big play up – even riders on the world stage who train every day – and watch them tense up, grabbing with the reins or legs and making it worse. This hands flowing forwards and deeeeep seated automatic response to something unexpected was possible because of a lesson that is the crowning glory at the end of the Fast Track program.
That lesson is where you get to re-program your own “oh shit” reactions – where you re-program your brain’s neural pathways and muscle memory, so that your new reactions get you OUT of trouble instead of into it – exactly as Steve had already done before 18 hands of sweet Oliver launched into the air with such delight.
I invite you to read that again, because it’s so extraordinary. You won’t find this anywhere else in the world – the ability to re-program your instinctive reactions so they get you OUT of trouble instead of into it. It’s advanced sports psychology meets cutting edge physical therapy meets alternative therapy – and it’s just one of the reasons we can call Fast Track FAST.
Are you going to be ready with flowing hands, a deeep magnetized seat and sweetly sliding joints if ever the sh*t hits the fan?
When Mary talked about her and her horse floating together in One’ness, she was talking about this program and the support that comes with it.
And here’s my secret for achieving that.
Thankyou for the demo Donna!
I take people off their horse for some of the riding lessons in Fast Track, where you can focus completely on yourself without worrying about what your horse is doing. Even though Steve with his deeep seat just flowing with Oliver is a very advanced rider who rode on the world stage, I took him off his horse too. I take everyone off their horse. 🙂 He was blown away by the progress he got in such a short period of time, even though he’d been sixty years learning and had learned from some of the best in the world in his 3 and 4 star eventing career representing Australia.
We get that progress really fast, because when you don’t have to keep any part of your mind on your horse, it’s so much easier to stay with me as we help you to understand and release tensions or fears or anxieties, fix those stuck spots, brain glitches and uneven’nesses – releasing the tension from old falls, even traumas – re-program your brain and muscle memory and give you a brilliant riding seat really FAST.
Once we’ve cleared the “stuff” in the way of your lovely riding seat, then we take you out to your horse with more innovation that is so delicious and so enjoyable for you and your horse both that you’ll wonder why riding wasn’t always taught like this.
And yes, that’s STILL in an on-line program!
Kristine Nesbitt was already a double world champion reining rider.
You’ll find the audio of our chat on the blog. Kristine was talking about how her championships didn’t bring her what she’d been looking for – and the joy and the confidence that she found with a difficult horse after our session together was “it”.
That’s my Bobby galloping down the paddock the day after his retirement at 27 years old.
The horses just turn their hearts over.
From much loved horses to desperate and misunderstood horses labelled as difficult or stubborn, even aggressive and dangerous – all horses just love to turn their hearts over to you in this work. Oh mannn we change this so easily on Fast Track, most horses just melt into it. We start in the routine of their lives. The magic and the joy starts at home, with you.
Did you already read on the Home page about our Release, Re-Learn and Re-Program formula? It means that your horse only has to learn something once to know it, so you can throw all that repetition out the window. Their age doesn’t matter either. This work helps even old horses with crappy behaviours who had training that they didn’t understand or that scared them.
It’s at home where the magic happens – the horse side of Fast Track starts from the moment you walk out to get them and continues in everything you do with them.
In Fast Track you’re steadily building your Feel in everything that you do, getting better and better at it, as you help your horse to let go all their old stress and tension – to find the joy together, to become the happy co-operative partner and for their bodies to heal the way they were designed.
The problem is rarely where you think it is.
Let’s take something basic as an example of what I mean. If a foal had a halter wrestled on them like my Sunnygirl did, the stress of that is still inside them, causing a tension that doesn’t disappear when you put your foot in the stirrup. Does that make sense? The tension is just waiting to bite you on the butt when something goes wrong. You think that it was this new thing that caused the problem, but that was just one thing added to a bigger problem that was already there, way back in that horse’s first rough handling or misunderstood communication. We fix that with Release Re-Learn and Re-Program. It steadily turns even big problems into small ones.
It’s the same with being taught to lead. How many horses were taught to lead by being pulled along by the halter, with their little bodies fighting it? How many horses revert to that and pull back when they get a fright? Again, that stress and tension doesn’t disappear when you put your foot in the stirrup. It’s layered onto every other thing that you do with them. We fix that on Fast Track.
How many horses are tight and tense with their feet? That photo of Sunny being trimmed at liberty? She used to be lethal, with one foot slamming down so hard that anything of yours in her way would be broken. It turned out that she had a major trauma in there. The stress and tension in our horse around feet doesn’t disappear when you put your foot in the stirrup. We fix that and many other things on Fast Track.
Floats and trailers – being forced or wrestled onto the trailer – is another stressor running in the background causing you problems in everything else, even if they never get on a trailer again. Same with being bucked out in the saddle and forced into a bridle. It’s all just another layer of crap that you get the tools and the knowhow to fix, on Fast Track.
Foundational fears affect EVERYthing else
Separation anxiety doesn’t disappear when you put your foot in the stirrup either. Mann this is a foundational fear that affects EVERYthing. I’ve seen trainers on the world stage start a horse in the stress and tension of separation anxiety and they were sent home with that tension layered into everything that they’d learned, adversely affecting everything you do with them from then on. Good news, you can have a “do-over”. You get the tools to fix this on Fast Track and in an on-line program. 🙂
What about simply being happy to be caught? What would it be like to have you horse walk up saying “Oh goodie, can we go together and learn something new today?” Even though Hannah was already a very advanced rider having trained with some of the best in the world, she tells you that she couldn’t even catch this difficult new horse when she came into Fast Track.
Every stress and tension is cumulative, what we think of as a nervy horse or a stubborn one or a naughty one – even a dangerous one like our Oliver had been – is simply a misunderstood and probably desperate one.
That difficulty in the saddle, that stiffness, the horse that sticks their head in the air and pulls on the reins, that horse who doesn’t seem to learn easily – that all changes as you steadily Release all that old stress and tension, Re-Learn with gentleness and curiosity and even eagerness and Re-Program their mind and muscle memory with curiosity and joyfulness.
One more biggie.
Clearing depression and PTSD with your horse.
I’ve been working in the alternative therapy field successfully for over thirty years, doing some pretty miraculous stuff (Aussie understatement there) and I’ve never seen the sheer beauty and joy that comes from a horse actively helping a human to clear that old crap up – at the same time that the human is helping the horse to clear up theirs. Reciprocal healing between horse and human is just… I’m smiling and lost for words… it’s just so beautiful.
This one’s too private to use names. This lady from AUS was on Fast Track at the same time as having some additional private sessions for a long term and serious depression and PTSD. She and her horse escalated each other into wellness and joy together. That’s her in the photo. She had reached her dream of riding bareback happily around the farm like she’d done as a child. She wrote for you:
Hang on a minute, don’t reach for your wallet yet! Are we the right fit for each other?
I offer a “love this program or get your money back” guarantee and there’s been only two times in seventeen years that I’ve needed to refund – and it was because I didn’t get them to think about these questions:
- Are you open to doing things differently? Because we don’t get these kind of results from doing things the same old way.
- Do you WANT that Feel with its ability to “listen” to and understand your horse? Don’t worry about the “how” yet, that’s MY job and I’ve never met anyone I couldn’t teach this to.
- Are you WILLING to put feeling good with your horse as the first priority? Mannn… you wouldn’t believe how much faster things progress when you put feeling good first!
- Do you have a desire to be REALLY good with horses? In my experience, if you have the desire, you can achieve just about anything.
If you’ve answered yes to those questions, then it looks like we’re a match.
Sue – we call her Sue from the bush because we have quite a few Sue’s in our community and she’s such a down to earth character who spends a lot of her horse time out in the bush – was talking about the sheer practicality of this work in a comment on the blog here. It made me laugh when she wrote about us sounding a bit new agey. She said “there’s no fairies down the bottom of Jenny Pearce’s garden” and then:
You might also need to know:
- that I’ve been known to swear when I get really passionate about something and that passion is a part of me.
- that although I’m not religious, this beautiful work seems to fit with all faiths.
In addition to the support of “YOUR dream is MY job”, here’s what else you get on Fast Track:
♦ First you’ll get the Foundation Principles that provide a framework for everything else you do, including getting you started on the Feel for your horse that you’ve been hearing about. When you’ve soaked those up at your own pace…
♦ Then you trigger the rest of the Fast Track program – over 100 interactive audio and video lessons that step by step apply those principles for feeling good in every routine thing that you do with your horse – steadily building your Feel – including applying Feel to problem solving and the wonderful magnetic, centaur riding seat that I keep raving about.
♦ Support – as part of your support, depending on what brings you into Fast Track, I might get you to focus on a particular lesson or add something else from our 20 years of on-line resources. (Crikey has it been THAT long?) So let me know what it is that brings you to us, so I can point you to extra resources for that particular issue.
♦ More support. There’s a student only forum that contains vast amounts of specialized support for problem solving and a lovely community of like minded people. I can’t emphasize how special it is to have the support of a whole community of people who are either centered or know how to find it. There’s a section for asking me questions. There’s extra lessons on things like feet training for the feet trimmer or farrier, how to get them ready for a much easier dentist visit, solving a needle shy horse and more. It’s a quiet forum, full of people who spend time outside enjoying their horses.
♦ And even more support. Fast Track students get preference for the one on one live work with me on the free live seminars that are tongue in cheek called The Dummy Spit Anti-struggling revolution. Even if you don’t pick up Fast Track, you can register to join in those seminars.
♦ Did you guess it? Even more support still! There’s an invaluable archive of seminars going back years on the student only forum – a treasure house of lessons and unedited live discussion that you can either browse through on a rainy day or I’ll point you to specific things that help you with the dream / problem that brought you into Fast Track.
♦ You work at your own pace. At the bottom of each page is the button to trigger the next lesson and you click that when you’re ready. I’ve done it that way so that even if you skim over some lessons as you go down the page to get to the button, they’ll be in your brain to come back to your attention if you need them.
♦ You keep your access to the whole program and the support that comes with it, “forever”. There’s no monthly fees.
♦ My “Love this program or get your money back” Guarantee.
$1500 – access and joy for a lifetime. Email me if you need a payment plan.
Then on top of all that value, I’ve decided to have some fun in the new year by taking every new Fast Track person through 8 weeks of live clinic as an incredible bonus. Meeting once a week, catapulting people towards their goals. I turned 70 a few weeks ago – who knows? This opportunity may not happen again.
We also have seminars and podcasts and other free resources that I’m happy to point you to, as well as … (don’t skip over this bit) … as well as some ideas about how you might go about getting what you want here even if your wallet is empty, so email me about what brings you here. It might take me a while, but I answer EVERY email.
