Why "Classical Horsemanship"?

What is "Classical Horsemanship"? 
Well, to put it simply when I use this term to describe what I am teaching at these Workshops it is a description that I feel fits the fusion of techniques, philosophy and foundation that expresses my personal style of Horsemanship. 
I believe in all areas of life that Principles are superior to Rules in that they require engaged use of the mind and heart, the power of reason...they are timeless. My personal journey in Horsemanship has crossed many genres, has been contributed to and influenced by exceptional Horsemen and Woman and horses from diverse backgrounds, schools of training and lifestyle, and has been profoundly shaped by my own life-altering experiences. 
Therefore I choose words that reflect for me the old and the new, the English and the Western, the whole and the broken, the ALL that life brings...and in them is for me the essence of whats important.
Feel Timing and Balance. 
Integrity to the horse's mental and physical welfare above personal Agenda or Ego.
'Lifemanship'- Being a person of character not just reputation, someone who is their Word with people and with horses. 
If you are also interested in this, if you are looking for more, open to look with awareness at yourself, I invite you to join me at an Affinity Equitation Classical Horsemanship Workshop or Clinic soon.....
