WHAT WILL YOU
LEARN AND EXPERIENCE?
During this 2-day seminar, you will learn not only what your horse does, but more importantly why they do it and what is happening in the brain and nervous system.
You will experience:
-
Polyvagal theorie: How the nervous system influences your horse’s behaviour, emotions and ability to learn.
-
How to create safety and trust, so your horse can truly learn.
-
How to recognise tension and stress at an early stage and respond effectively.
-
How co-regulation can influence your horse’s nervous system state.
-
How to help create new neural pathways between the brain and the nervous system.
-
How to understand and change behaviour rather than simply suppressing it.
-
How practical exercises and groundwork can help your horse move from tension to relaxation and from confusion to learning.
-
How to use your own body, energy and nervous system as part of the training process.
But most importantly: you will experience it yourself!
Because understanding knowledge is one thing. Actually feeling, seeing and experiencing it in yourself and with your horse is where real change begins.
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.
Under stress, Rio searches safety. Often by panicking, fleeing and/or fighting.
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!
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 MAKES
THIS SEMINAR DIFFERENT?
This is not a theory course and it is not traditional training. It is a 2-day deep dive where neuroscience, experience and horsemanship come together. Not just through explanation, but through live demonstrations and practical exercises with both humans and horses. We make visible, in real time, what is happening underneath behaviour.
You don’t just see it happen.
You experience it for yourself!
From theory to feeling and experience: Rupert explains how collection arises from balance, awareness, and refined communication with the horse.
Petra and Rupert combine their expertise, humour, and years of experience to take participants into the world of safety, movement, and connection.
With great enthusiasm, a participant experiences how small adjustments in posture and intention can have an immediate impact on the horse.
YOU WON'T JUST WATCH, YOU'LL
FEEL IT FOR YOURSELF!
