The Holistic Horse Show, the UK’s first ever horse show dedicated entirely to the holistic care of horses, is giving horse and pony lovers the chance to learn to think like a pony. The show, which takes place on October 24-26 at Unex Towerlands, Essex, is welcoming author and innovative teacher Lynn Henry to share her expertise in a fun, interactive and highly entertaining series of workshops.

Aimed at helping young riders get the very best out of their relationship with their favourite four-legged friend, Lynn Henry's daily Think Like a Pony workshops cleverly explain the world from a pony’s point of view. It shows how ponies think, why they act the way they do and what’s important to them. Lynn will use interactive sessions with real ponies, to demonstrate how learning to think like a pony will help your pony to become safe to be with, safe to handle, safe to ride and a willing friend and partner. The emphasis is on fun and there’s plenty for parents to learn and enjoy too.

Lynn, a former biology teacher, is passionate about horsemanship and education. She is a horse and human healer, a horse iridology practitioner and a qualified shiatsu for horses practitioner.

The Holistic Horse Show will feature displays and practical demonstrations from some of the UK’s leading equestrian experts in the Holisitc Horse Performance Arena. Holistic therapies and products will be showcased in the Holisitc Horse Therapy Centre.
