Gabi Neurohr - Understanding Horses

More than 1000 😱 people have already signed up for the Live Event on Saturday! Have you already signed up?

I might have to upgrade my Zoom account before Saturday evening 🤩

I am very excited about Saturday’s Live Class “7 Elements of a Balanced Relationship with your Horse”!

I have been working on the presentation for the past 2 weeks already and I had my first test run this morning to make sure everything will run smoothly on Saturday.

Very much looking forward to sharing all of it with you very soon!

Will you join us too?

This aprox. 2.5-hour class will be a very personal share about my own journey away from dominance based beliefs towards a kinder, more empathetic way of being with horses.

It will give you plenty of very practical steps you can take right away to create trust, establish fair boundaries and better communication.

Without fear, force or being boss! Based on trust and connection instead. Discover the cornerstones of my relationship-based training approach.

This Live Training will take place on Saturday, at 18:00 Vienna time - that’s 12 pm EDT - 9am PDT - 17:00 UK

If you haven’t registered yet, comment Live Event below and I will share the link with you.

Oh, and if the time doesn’t fit your busy schedule, don’t worry, I will be sending out the replay right after the training! I know that the time isn’t very convenient in the US and Canada or AUS/NZ.

I'll be sharing:

👉 The 7 Elements of a Balanced and Harmonious Relationship with your Horse
👉 Why dominance theory is outdated and doesn’t work if you want to find true connection with your horse and what to do instead.
👉 How focusing on Relationship and Leadership go hand in hand and doesn't mean the abscence of boundaries (but different than what you might think)
👉 Practical Steps to bring those Elements back in balance and therefore dramatically improve the 5 Areas of Relationship with your horse
👉 Open enrollment for the RFT 2026 Cohort with a special surprise!
👉 And a Live Q&A so you can ask me YOUR question directly!

I am very excited about this upcoming Live Training and getting to meet you!

Slowing down to horse speed

I love taking my horses on walks. It helps me to slow down to their speed of life. It helps me to slow my thoughts and to be fully present.

More than riding.

Our society and life is so fast paced. It feels like constantly being behind, all the things still left to do, to keep in mind. The mind is always busy and moving forward.

And we take this to our horses. We are mentally absent, not fully there. The thoughts drift, come back, drift off again.

Out there in the forest with my horse I have room to slow down to horse speed.
What does that mean? Horses live fully in the present moment.

As they see and notice things, they stop, look and take it all in. They process information right there and then. Not afterwards, not later, not all at once.
One at a time. And this is relaxing.

Here is a dialogue I had with Mayana yesterday on the walk:

Oh look - the cows! - Oh yes, you are right and there are even 2 baby cows out today.

Look, there are some rosehips. Would you like some? - sure, they are my favorites. Thank you for picking them for me.

Badum-badum-badum - the sun is so nice!

Ah wait, here is my favorite w**d! - Alright, have a few bites. I know you don’t have this at home.

Let’s continue - OK!

Do you wanna go left or right in the forest? - Let’s go right today.

Badum-badum-badum

I would like to check what's behind the woodpile. Do you come with me? - yes, why not!

Ah, nothing interesting really. Let's continue.

Look, some blackberries! Can I have some? - Yes, sure, let me pick some for you.

Badum-badum-badum

Ah, wait a sec. I heard something…………………… Mayana standing there like a statue, looking up the hill. Me just waiting. Hand resting on her shoulder.

Can you hear the silence?

Yeah, it’s nice. Ok, I am ready now to continue.

Badum-badum-badum

look Mayana, here are some leaves from your favorite bush - thank you for showing me! yumyum

These walks make me smile inside out. They give air to my soul and help slow down all my molecules and thoughts.

I think we should do that more often. Slow down to our horse’s speed.

What’s the rush? Why are we so impatient when a horse needs to stop and listen, or stop and look at something.

Just slow down to horse speed and enjoy.

Eeeek - I am so excited about this upcoming event!

New Monthly Lessons for ODH Members are Live!
This months topic: The Precision Circle - Find Focus, Flow and Relaxation

I love this visual pattern to:

- teach young horses about circling as it gives clear purpose through the visualisation
- get just started horses going with circle work and help them feel more balanced and fall less on the inside shoulder
- develop relaxed, flowing impulsion for the ridden horse
- develop rein independet steering and sensitize the horse to subtle weight and leg cues
- develop rhythmic canter and collectibility
- to start riding bridleless
-... and so much more.

The pictures are screenshots for the videos showing how my mare Mayana (the white) found this lovely relaxes trot with the help of the pattern.

Salimah (the bay) demonstrated this pattern at the canter to show how to develop rhythm and work direction collectibility of the canter.

There are also lessons just at the walk to tune your horse into your seat and progress to trot work on the path to riding bridleless!

Lots to explore - if you are a member, log onto the platform (you got an email this morning) and start exploring!

These lessons are the perfect continuation of the August topic - Introducing the Neck String!

Not a member yet and are interested? drop a comment and I'll get in touch with you.

Time if flying and preparations are on high gear to open enrollment for the Relationship Fast Track Course cohort 2026!

I am so excited to finally fun this favorite course of mine again after 2024!

And we already have more than 300 sign ups to the waitlist - what is much more than I can offer places to ensure quality support over the 6 weeks of the course.

You can still join the waitlist to get information and to see if this course would be right for you tough. And to be amongst the first ones to know when enrolment opens so you can secure your place.

What is RFT?

The Relationship Fast Track is my signature 6-week guided course for horsewomen who want to create a better, more balanced relationship with their horse — based on connection, understanding and empathy, while developing clear communication, healthy boundaries and confident leadership.

Created in 2020, this course has by now helped more than 1000 horsewomen all over the world to build a stronger, more connected and safer relationship with their horses.

This year's cohort of the Relationship Fast Track starts on September 28th, and enrollment will open on September 10th.

Over six weeks, I'll guide you through 30 step-by-step lessons, and we'll also meet every week for a live Q&A, where I can help you with your individual questions and challenges.

If you are interested - let me know why you'd like to take the course below and we will see together if this would be the right fit for you.

So looking forward to running this course - starting September 28th!
