The Rewild Foundation (6-Week Program)
Creating a Confident, Trusting Start for Your Young or Unstarted Horse
The Ultimate Start: Building Trust and Confidence, Not Just Obedience.
A 6-week intensive, trauma-informed program designed for young or unstarted horses to establish an intuitive, trusting foundation—setting them up for a lifetime of willing, confident partnership.
Why Rushing the Start is Never Worth It
Starting a young horse is the most critical period of their life. Rushing, pressuring, or using methods focused solely on speed can lead to deep-seated anxiety, resistance, and a breakdown of trust that takes years to undo. You want a horse who is genuinely willing, curious, and comfortable in their own skin, but you need a structured, ethical path to get there.
The Rewild Foundation: Slow Down to Build Stronger
This 6-week program focuses on emotional literacy, nervous system regulation, and genuine connection before ever introducing significant pressure. We move at the pace of the animal, prioritizing a "Yes" from the horse's spirit, not just their body. The result is a horse who faces the world with confidence and a deep trust in their human partner.
What We Build: The 3 Pillars of a Rewild Foundation
The Rewild Together session recognizes the partnership as a single, shared energetic system. We move beyond simply treating the horse or coaching the human separately. Instead, we work simultaneously on both of your nervous systems and energetic fields. This creates a clean slate, clearing parallel blocks, and establishing a new, harmonious baseline for your relationship.
The Integrated Approach: Intuition, Somatics, and Reciprocity
This program is rooted in intuitive, gentle horsemanship that creates lifelong stability:
Safety & Somatic Awareness: Introducing new concepts (tack, handling, environment) in a way that keeps the horse's nervous system regulated. We teach the horse to stay present and calm, reducing the chance of a "fight or flight" response.
The Dialogue of Trust: Establishing clear, compassionate communication through intuitive groundwork and body language. The horse learns to seek connection and guidance, making them a willing participant, not a forced follower.
Confidence & Capacity: Systematically introducing new challenges (saddling, obstacle work, early mounted connection) with positive reinforcement and structured confidence-building exercises that ensure the horse believes in their own ability to succeed.
Your 6-Week Journey to a Willing Partner
This program is a focused, intentional block of time dedicated to transformation.
Customized Intake: The program begins with an Initial Intuitive Dialogue Session to understand your horse's unique history and personality, ensuring the plan is perfectly tailored.
Weekly Focus: Each week builds upon the last, moving seamlessly through handling, groundwork, confidence courses, desensitization, and early mounted prep (if appropriate for the timeline).
Human Coaching: This program includes Owner Integration Calls. You are not just dropping off a horse; you are learning the Rewild Method principles so you can maintain and deepen the connection once the program is complete.
Program Deliverables: Includes weekly video updates, detailed session notes, and a Personalized Partnership Plan for the next six months.
Investment:
The Rewild Foundation is a commitment to excellence and empathy in horsemanship. Because we only accept a limited number of horses into the program at a time to ensure dedicated, high-quality care, we require a brief application and consultation.
