Aside from the courses here at ‘Alchemy Place’ where we do long term courses in March & September ( 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 week courses), and shorter 2-3 day courses interspersed throughout the year, there are set locations around Australia where I usually travel twice yearly to support students and keep up continuity with learning. If you would like to join into any of these groups at the listed locations but you can’t see a date and details scheduled for that location just send us an email and we can put you on the list and let you know dates and details as soon as they are available.
Arcadia, NSW (via Sydney)
Bathurst, NSW
Macksville. NSW
Wilton, NSW (via Sydney)
Brisbane/Gold Coast, Sth East QLD
Busselton, WA
Albury/Wodonga, NSW/VIC
If there is a minimum of 5 students then it is possible to run additional courses to the ones listed in other locations. The maximum number of horses per course is 8.
Shorter courses here at ‘Alchemy Place’ Moonbi (Tamworth) can also be scheduled in. So if you are close to my area and are interested in shorter courses here let me know.
I can offer the use of horses here for groundwork courses. So if you don’t have a horse or can’t travel your horse courses here might be a good option.
Specific Focus Courses - I also offer specific focus courses. So if you have a specific area of interest one of these courses might be of interest. See the list below or you may have a request. All courses require a pre-requisite of the Connecting and Fundamental Feel clinic or at least a part of that built into the special focus course and some will also require the Introduction to Riding with Synchronicity as a pre-requiste. Intermediate Level Courses cover a very broad range of topics including some of these below. They are formatted to suit needs and requests of those who attend.
Liberty
Positive Reinforcement and Marker Training
Posture and Biomechanics Ground work Therapy
Posture and Biomechanics Riding Course.
Functional Saddling and Biomechanics for comfort and performance.
Confidence out on the Trail
Advancing Groundwork skills
Preparing your young horse for starting under saddle.
Advancing Engagement and Collection with Lateral work and more.
EARLY BIRD DISCOUNTS– Most of the courses have Early Bird discounts so check those out and book early to save.
