OLD PATTERNS
STUCK IN
What if behavioral patterns in horses and humans are not the real problem, but an expression of a nervous system stuck in old patterns?
During this intensive 2-day seminar, we explore how to recognize, understand, and shift these patterns in both humans and horses. We work with neuroscience, classical horsemanship, groundwork, behavior training, and above all: with what you can observe happening live in interaction.
We do not just talk about change, we demonstrate it, in real time!
MORE ABOUT
RUPERT & PETRA
Rupert Isaacson and Petra Vlasblom combine their international experience in this 2-day seminar, where neuroscience, behavior training, horsemanship, and hands-on practice come together.
Rupert Isaacson is an author, trainer, and international speaker, best known worldwide for the film The Horse Boy. From his personal journey with his son and the role horses played in it, he developed a practical approach to learning, regulation, and cooperation between humans and horses. His work integrates neuroscience with classical dressage and natural horsemanship, with a strong emphasis on in-hand work and direct interaction with the horse.
Petra Vlasblom is a behavior trainer and founder and director of the 2Moons education program, specializing in the application of Polyvagal Theory in her work with humans and horses. With more than 20 years of experience in behavior training, she makes visible what is happening in the nervous system and how this directly influences behavior, communication, and learning capacity.
With great pleasure, humor, and a positive energy, Rupert and Petra guide participants into the world of the brain, the nervous system, movement, and the connection between humans and horses.
From theory to feeling and experience: Rupert explains how collection arises from balance, awareness, and refined communication with the horse.
WHAT WILL
YOU EXPERIENCE?
This seminar is about actively influencing the cooperation between the brain and the nervous system, in both humans and horses.You will learn how to build more calmness, resilience, and connection by gaining insight, learning to observe differently, respond differently, and act differently in interaction with both humans and horses.
We work with, among other things:
• Insight into how stress, tension, and trauma influence behavior in both humans and horses.
• Exercises to regulate the nervous system.
• Groundwork and in-work exercises.
• Demonstrations of behavior training through the creation of new neural pathways between brain and nervous system.
• Exercises to improve physical and emotional balance in the interaction between human and horse.
• Learning to observe how behavior changes by positively influencing the brain and nervous system.
KNOWLEDGE
ABOUT THE BRAIN &
NERVOUS SYSTEM
At the core of this seminar is something that is often explained, but rarely made visible: how to create new neural pathways between the brain and the nervous system, in both humans and horses.
Rupert and Petra demonstrate in practice how to build new connections in horses that show tension or behavioral challenges, leading to lasting, desired behavior. At the same time, this is also made visible in the human system: how your own regulation, response, and presence directly influence what happens in interaction with you and the horse
It is not about ‘changing the horse or the human’, but about bringing the system of the brain and nervous system into movement.
For equine coaches, instructors, and trainers who want to learn how to help reset the nervous system of both humans and horses.
WHO SHOULD
ATTEND THIS SEMINAR
-
For anyone working with tension, stress, or neurodiversity in humans or animals.
-
For coaches and trainers who want to go deeper than technique alone.
-
For sport riders and recreational riders who want to address problems at the root.
-
For horse owners who want to understand how their own nervous system influences their horse.
-
For professionals, trainers, doctors, and veterinarians who want to understand behavior, stress, and regulation from a broader perspective.
WHAT SETS
THIS SEMINAR APART?
This isn’t just another theory course or traditional training. It’s a 2-day immersive experience where neuroscience, real-world practice, and horsemanship converge.
Through live demonstrations and hands-on exercises, with both humans and horses, we reveal the hidden layers beneath behavior, in real time.
You won’t just watch. You’ll feel it for yourself.
With great enthusiasm, a participant experiences how small adjustments in posture and intention can have an immediate impact on the horse.
Petra and Rupert combine their expertise, humour, and years of experience to take participants into the world of safety, movement, and connection.
YOU WON'T JUST WATCH, YOU'LL
FEEL IT FOR YOURSELF!
