• LOCAL CLINIC - LIFETIME ACCESS COURSE MATERIAL - ON-GOING SUPPORT •

Discover how to become the Benevolent LEADmare in your Herd of 2 -
so you & your horse can feel safe, empowered and confident TOGETHER!
 

It is an illusion that control keeps us - the human - safe, secure and confident. Quite the contrary! The use of control and pressure-focused training techniques KEEP the horse in self-preservation and self-protection mode, CREATING scary experiences for horse AND human.

Accidents are even explained as 'normal' but they are not and treat based training connects your horse to the treat - and not YOU: Potentially keeping your horse in self preservation and self protection!


But it Does NOT Have to be That Way:


When your horse believes in you as the gatekeeper of her confidence, when you promise safety, empowerment and confidence through your mindset as well as your actions, BOTH, you AND your horse CAN feel safe, secure and confident in each others presence! Everything becomes possible when you learn how to create INTER-CONNECTION...

• FEMALE LEADERSHIP •

Learn how to emulate the LEADmare who always makes benevolent decisions for her Herd of 2 and who is not interested in dominance and control. After all, no horse follows the herd stallion. All horses follow the LEADmare!

 

 

• LOVE, PEACE, UNDERSTANDING •

are the guiding principles of my program GENUINE CONNECTIONS HorseWomanShip and all Doing Workshops: You will discover how to help your horse feel seen, heard and understood - and TOGETHER you will feel safe, secure and confident!

 

 

• INTER-CONNECTION •

Connection has become a buzzword! Trainers use the word in their marketing and sadly teach it by limiting choices & free will, applying conditioned patterns & by creating learned helplessness. Connection has to be a two way street based on reciprocity!

 


• LOCAL CLINIC - LIFETIME ACCESS COURSE MATERIAL - ON-GOING SUPPORT •

 
I will show you how to:

 

1

Adopt
the LEADmare Mindset

 

NO horse follows the dominant stallion who's job is to procreate and protect. But ALL horses, including the herd stallion, follow the LEADmare. She is often older, her strength isn't power and control. She didn't fight for her position, she was chosen due to her experience, wisdom and willingness to make benevolent decisions for the herd. Learn the super power of female LEADership Principles!

 

 

2

Initiate Rhythm to
Create Peaceful Harmony

 

Horses, just like we humans, want to feel balanced and peaceful. But traditional horse training and even natural horsemanship are based on control and pressure focused techniques. Often training begins in the arena or roundpen and many relationship build opportunities are missed by overlooking EveryDayTasks. Peaceful Harmony and Flow are a must on your quest to release residual tension in your horse, and it starts with the moment you approach your horse!

 

3

Set Healthy Boundaries
with Space Conversations

 

Depending on how you establish (or don't establish) your personal space bubble, you horse will see you as dominant, non-assertive or the LEAD. The LEADmare doesn't drive nor round up the herd, she makes a decision and all horses follow her - no questions asked. Clarity and consistency will give your horse certainty, the foundation for feeling safe, secure and confident with you!

 

4

Resolve Frustrating & Dangerous Horse Behaviors

 

Once and for all! When horses are worried, whether they are dominant or unconfident, behaviors such as biting, kicking, bucking, balking, spooking, striking can create scary and dangerous situations. When you learn how to address mini and micro thresholds to release brace, tension, stress, worry and fear in your horse, negative behaviors will simply melt away.

 

 

5

Incorporate the 3X
Relaxation Strategy

 

Relaxation means that there is NO brace, tension, stress, anxiety and fear. With the base of harmony and flow, the Triple X Relaxation Strategy will give you the tools to help your horse  find lasting mental, emotional & physical balance. Your horse will happily look for your guidance because being with you FEELS GOOD! When your horse is relaxed, negative feedback like nipping or kicking will be a sign of the past. Healthy posture and proper bio-mechanics will become possible once and for all!

 

6

Create Lightness
through Softness

 

Most trainers, instructors and horsemanship programs teach you how to create lightness with escalating phases and pressure! I will teach you how to create lightness through softness, never using more than 100g or 3 oz so your horse will happily and willingly follow and yield to a mental, emotional and physical 'feel' instead of pressure, control or treats.

 

 

WARNING!
My Program isn't for Everybody...
and Might Just be PERFECT for you and your Horse!

 

My GENUINE CONNECTIONS Horse•Woman•Ship Program is ONLY for female horse lovers who want to let go of control, pressure and even treat-based training techniques to create real, true and genuine inter-connection so you and your horse can feel safe, empowered and confident TOGETHER.
If you are looking for short cuts how you can MAKE or CAUSE your horse to do things, you are in the wrong spot.  If you think your own goals are more important than your horse's mental, emotional and physical well-being, then my program is not for you.
If you are looking for a kind, caring and supportive, close-knit community and a heart-centered approach so you and your horse can live your optimal best life, where your horse feels seen, heard and understood and you can feel safe, secure and confident with your horse, you're in the right spot!
 

PETRA CHRISTENSEN:
Your Connection & Confidence Coach & Mentor

Why Should you Believe (in) me?

HI! I'M PETRA... 20 plus years ago, I had a super scary riding accident which eventually caused me to questions EVERYTHING I had learned about horses - whether it's traditional horse training and even natural horsemanship.

Since then, I have helped over one thousand students and horses around the world to create a different kind of a relationship, based on INTER-CONNECTION, NOT CONTROL! I have seen WHAT WORKS and what DOESN'T WORK - what brings progress, and what causes delays and frustrations - for horse and human!

To take the guess work out of horse training and to show that control, dominance and pressure is unnecessary, I developed a unique, step-by-step formula based on rhythm, relaxation & connection, love, peace & understanding and the Principles of the LEADmare, called GENUINE CONNECTIONS HorseWomanship.

In order to share my program with the world and create positive change for horse and humans, I created an Online Masterclass and Mentorship Program. I also offer in person clinics at your location and retreats at my private SoulFire Farm in Southern Arizona. 

Softness is not a Weakness: When your horse feels seen, heard and understood, BOTH - you AND your horse - CAN feel safe, secure and confident TOGETHER! Everything becomes possible when you learn how to adjust your actions to create real, true and genuine INTER-CONNECTION... I'll show you the HOW!

I  teach female horse lovers and their horses from around the World how to...

Feel Safe, Secure and Confident in Each Others' Presence! Are you Next?

I have to say I have never known anyone as generous as you Petra! What you give to people and horses - and the content of what is in the course - goes way more than any other course I've done or known. You are phenomenal! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the tools to go forward with my beloved horses. You are a light in the darkness for horses and people and may it continue to shine on so brightly.

Thank you!

I'm really loving your master class. I'm listening in when I can and watch the same video a few times to soak in all your knowledge. I feel more at ease the more I see how relaxed our mare is with all our ground work you have taught us. I turn [my daughter] Sarah is growing so much confidence to do a lot of the tasks on her own (with me watching on of course). You have made this journey so much less scary and 100% safer! Thank you so much!

Nowadays, my mare Nevada is so relaxed: Even her body worker says that she is a different horse! For years, Nevada's tail was tense and tight prior to studying with you. No practitioner could help me with that. I was told it cannot be changed. She can now relax her tail! She also used to pull on me all the time and I was so frustrated. I am so happy that now Nevada easily walks with me and doesn't lunge for grass anymore! A few weeks ago, I thought I would never ride again and now I can see that it will be possible!

Case Studies & Results, Shared by my Students


"I'm 72 Years old, my horse is Twenty.
It's Never too Late!"

Linda's fell pony Bobby was often worried which caused him to shut down, making him not safe to ride. When Linda did Liberty, Bobby refused to stick around and took off. He would also crowd her personal space. Her dream to take her granddaughter out on the trail was out of question because she felt riding Bobby away from home safely wasn't possible...

"I found Petra, and it has been amazing. I've had horses for over 50 years and with Petra's Program my heart explodes when I see the relationship with my horses blossom in front of my eyes."

Linda Racette Hill with Bobby

 

"Harry nearly killed me prior to
joining Petra's Program.
Now I ride bareback and with a halter!"

 When Angel got Harry, she knew he would be a tough case. He had spent a year in the bush alone which caused him to be in total self preservation and self protection. He had broken a farrier's hand, charged and ran people over, broken tie rails, bit people during saddling, bucked everybody off: His barn name was "Horrible Harry"...

 

"I call Harry now Sweatheart! Your Mentorship Program has opened my eyes to the importance of paying attention to the very tiny details of my horse and his communication. It gives me a step by step guide to retraining us both. Your Mentorship program allows the learning for both me and Harry to be accelerated because you are holding my hand and his hooves through the video sessions so it’s all personalised guidance as if you were here with me in Australia. Plus... I must say, the Mentorship community is like the family I have always dreamed of!"
