Why Leaving Survival Mode?

In this training we dive into the link between survival and connection for you, your horse and your horse-human connection on a nervous system level. Learn how you can identify the different states in all of your horse-human interactions. Understand how survival and connection are closely interlinked and connect with your horse on a deeper level.

  • Discover when and where you may be in fight, flight, freeze or fawn yourself

  • Understand what survival means for your connection with your horse

  • Learn to differentiate between the states

  • Connect with your horse on a much deeper level

The missing link to your horse training

If you're ready to learn about survival states in your horse and help them before they have to become "loud", you're in the right place.

I dove into this rabbit hole after realising that connection goes so much deeper than mere training, physical relaxation or quiet moments together. There's an actual science to it. There is so much we miss every day, because horses are supposed to live like this or behave like that.

This Masterclass will teach you the key points about survival states you may want to watch out during your sessions with your horse in the future!

You'll walk away from my Masterclass understanding:

  • The #1 error we all used to make during horsemanship
  • Which signs to watch out for
  • The science behind connection
  • Why safety and connection go hand in hand
  • How you can start implementing these learnings today

Habe mir das Webinar von Steffi Spielhaupter mit dem Thema Leaving Survival Mode-Understanding Connection heute angeschaut. Steffi geht auf das autonome Nervensystem der Pferde ein und erklärt wie echte Entspannung von der Freeze/Fawn Reaktion zu unterscheiden ist. Das war für mich jetzt schon reell anwendbar als mein Pferd Dio Osteopathie Behandlungen hatte - er wird nicht gerne berührt und hat oft Schmerzen. Für mich war es ein großes Geschenk einschätzen zu können, ob er gerade entspannt oder die Behandlung bloß über sich ergehen lässt und so konnten wir sofort erkennen wenn es ihm zu viel wurde und Pausen einbauen. Weil wir ihm zugehört haben hat er dann auch bei der ersten Nachbehandlung direkt gezeigt wenn er eine Pause brauchte statt sich „wegzubeamen“ und es war für uns alle ein entspannter und erfolgreicher Tag statt einer stressigen Erfahrung! Kann es nur empfehlen :))

MSc Equine Science Steffi Spielhaupter

Hi, my name is Steffi. I'm an Equine Scientist (MSc) and Equine Therapist (ESMT) and I am happiest when I support you on your individual journey of conscious horse-human connection and personal growth. I love working with the fine nuances of your horse's soundness (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual states) and helping you distinguish between them, always considering the health of your horse's nervous system in the process. Soundness, to me, is not just a word to describe a healthy and balanced horse, it is a way of living and interacting. The practical implementation of all knowledge starts with you and I'm so excited you're here! :)
