Discover how to improve communication with your horse through body language and a natural, simple, and intuitive dialogue.
Thanks to its great sensitivity, the horse reflects every aspect of our attitude. By learning to listen and communicate more clearly, you will see the quality of your relationship change as well.
During the course, you will work on feeling and timing, refining the use of seat and legs to minimize rein aids, with the goal of building a partnership based on trust, respect, and sensitivity.
The essence of this course is learning how to develop natural leadership, both on the ground and in the saddle.
During an immersive week, we will explore body language, empathy, and the horse’s way of understanding the world, reconnecting with the foundations of a relationship that has linked humans and horses for over 6,000 years.
Through practical exercises and moments of reflection, the course helps you not only understand the horse better, but also become more aware of yourself, improving the quality of your communication and presence.
The course combines theory and practice, drawing inspiration from Natural Western Riding and Mountain Trail, with the aim of creating a more effective and harmonious relationship with the horse.
• Groundwork to develop communication and empathy
• Riding sessions to improve balance, coordination, and seat
• Trail course exercises with specific, progressive challenges
• Outdoor activities to apply the techniques in a natural environment
• Understanding horse behavior: how horses live, perceive, and communicate
• Building a relationship based on mutual respect
• Observation and self-awareness to refine natural leadership
The course takes place in different environments, each with a specific role:
• Riding arena, for structured exercises
• Trail field, to face practical and real-life situations
• Countryside, to apply the teachings in open and natural spaces
• Obstacle field, to develop balance and body awareness
The Mountain Trail, with its natural challenges, is a valuable tool for consolidating what has been learned and for testing communication in real situations.
The course is designed for riders and enthusiasts with a basic riding background, who are able to manage walk, trot, and canter, and who wish to improve their relationship with the horse both on the ground and in the saddle. It is not a technical course, but a personal growth experience focused on communication and awareness.
The course is taught by Fabio Tascone, who teaches in a simple and intuitive way through his Natural Riding method, developed over more than 40 years of experience with horses and riders.
A farrier, instructor, and trainer, Fabio has built an approach based on listening to the body and using it consciously to communicate with the horse.
His deep knowledge of equine behaviour and his strong respect for animal welfare are the foundation of a teaching style aimed at creating healthy, cooperative, and long-lasting relationships.
During your stay, you will be warmly looked after by our cooks, who prepare healthy, wholesome meals made with care and attention, designed to support the body and accompany the activities of the day.
Our kitchen takes into account the main dietary needs and choices, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
If you wish to enjoy an even deeper experience of grounding and connection with nature, in addition to staying in our comfortable rooms, you will also have the opportunity to sleep in one of our tepees: romantic, spacious, and cozy, surrounded by the silence of the forest and gently accompanied by the call of owls.
An invitation to slow down and reconnect with the natural rhythm of the days, among horses, good food, and moments of genuine relaxation, peace, and well-being.
The price is for each person, and it includes the equipment to use during the whole course, for the practical section and the use of horses for the exercises.
It is possible to participate with one's own horse or foal (horse boarding is not included).
In the afternoon, horseback rides or other lessons are possible, not included in the price.
