2026 "Being Herd" & Horse Speak Events
Gain Confidence, Clarity and Sustainable Communication
using the "Being Herd" Program
6-Week Progressive Workshop Program, featuring the Being Herd Puppets
Puppets are used because we can control their behavior for faster learning- and real horses get tired.
Learn the Why. Feel the How. Transform the Partnership.
We are grateful to Healing Reins Equine Assisted Services in Bend, OR for making their beautiful facility available for this series.
Sessions are $125 each and last 3 hours with 40 min lunch and discussion. While they can be attended individually, this program is progressive with each session using the information from previous sessions.
