We often hear the term “dream horse” when riders are asked what they desire. But what do our horses want or need in their “dream human”?

Scott Phillips of Amazing Horse Country has spent years pioneering a style of horsemanship that connects people with horses. Passionate about sharing that knowledge with others, Scott was inspired to build an extensive and innovative retreat that nurtures communication and understanding for equestrians and their equine companions. 

Always smiling, Scott states that it’s much easier for us to learn “horse” than it is to teach the horse “human.” 

Scott typically asks his clients how horses communicate, and the answer is almost always: body language. As Scott is quick to point out, humans don’t have ears to move and tails to swish. Horses truly communicate on multiple levels that are fun to learn, and learning them will help empower your goals.

Specialising in helping horses and people cross that language barrier, Scott has helped build successful riding teams throughout Canada. It begins with learning about unique aspects of our horses that allow us to form enduring relationships and bonds of trust.
