GROUNDWORK FOCUS WORKSHOP with CERTIFICATION OPTIONAL ~ Blue Heron Stables ~ Barrie, ON.

This special 3-day workshop at Blue Heron Stables in Barrie, Ontario, is dedicated exclusively to groundwork training with horses.

This is an excellent opportunity for currently certified trainers in Irwin Insights to work directly with Chris to upgrade their certification. Please know that the Certification aspect of this workshop is optional for those interested in achieving or upgrading credentials in Irwin Insights – but you do NOT need to be focused on achieving certification to take this groundwork clinic.

This groundwork focused clinic can be a revealing “eye-opener” for anyone handling horses. Groundwork is not limited to the lunge line or round pen! “Groundwork” is the essential understanding of equine behaviour required to truly communicate clearly and consistently with horses in their body language and psychology.

Chris is not only an internationally renowned horseman, he also has been invited to teach body language, handling skills and equine psychology at prestigious universities such as the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada – at the Veterinary College at Utrecht University in the Netherlands – and at the Vluggen Institute for Equine Osteopathy in Germany.

As Horse Illustrated magazine said, “nobody understands and explains the horse/human relationship better than Chris Irwin”.

This will be a life-changing workshop for recreational horse enthusiasts, horse handlers, Veterinarians, Vet-tech’s, Vet-Assistants, equine massage therapists, chiropractors, farriers, and equine assisted facilitators and therapists.

Each day includes in-depth theory presentation + Q&A on equine and human biomechanics, physiology and psychology.
