5 STAR PRINCIPLES of IRWIN INSIGHTS
* Ask not what your horse can do for you; ask what you can do for your horse
* We can’t control the horse. We control our responses to the horse
* Frame of Body = Frame of Mind
* Don’t pull the horse where to go, block where not to go
* Training Before Schooling
Ireland’s Equestrian magazine said “he is more horse then human”. In France, his publisher says he’s written the bible on horsemanship.
From standing room only University lectures, to training the trainers in horsemanship, Therapeutic Riding and Equine Assisted Coaching, Chris Irwin is the most innovative leader working with horses today.
Irwin shines a profound light on the marketing illusions of today’s horse industry to reveal the true depths of awareness for change that horses need to see from humans.
Horse & Rider magazine said, “nobody explains the horse human relationship better then Chris Irwin.” Hall of Fame Jockey, Sandy Hawley, said, “Absolutely amazing! I wish I could’ve ridden a Chris Irwin horse.” But Leif Hallberg best sums up his creative genius in her tome, Walking The Way Of The Horse, by proclaiming that Chris Irwin’s Insights are “bold and possibly the most useful and impactful concepts presented in any book”.
