Do you have a vision for connecting others with horses to make their lives better? When does a vision become a movement? Can horses play a role in a life-changing movement? Come participate and discover even more about what horses have to teach us regarding lowering stress and building trust at The Movement Symposium and Festival 2018 to be held at Flag Is Up Farms in Solvang, California, May 23-24, 2018.
What is “The Movement”
“We are describing “The Movement” as demonstrations, discoveries and pathways,” said Debbie Roberts Loucks who is managing the event. “A movement starts with a clear vision of a world different than the one we live in today. The presenters are each amazing in their own industries and they all have a vision of a better world, inspired by incorporating horses in their own story. They come to share that vision and build on it with participants who will take home a plan to change their lives too. Leaders may inspire, but only when people choose to act does a vision become a movement.”
What Activities Will Take Place at “The Movement”?
“This two-day event is part symposium and part festival and will be lots of fun for those who appreciate horses. The Movement is the perfect environment for connecting with peers who know that horses have a lot to teach”, commented Pat Roberts, wife of Monty Roberts and co-host of the event. “You will learn how Monty keeps stress out of his life with horses, and how to develop the motivation and resilience to achieve your life’s goals.”
Monty and his Certified Instructors will work with a range of young and remedial horses. Attendees will gain first-hand knowledge during demonstrations, lectures, and discussions. This event is for the novice rider, the non-rider, as well as the advanced student who wants to observe advanced horsemanship at work. There will be demonstrations on how to communicate with horses in their natural body language in various situations.
Monty Roberts – the New York Times bestselling author of, The Man Who Listens to Horses – will share his life story about overcoming barriers, motivating yourself and lowering your stress levels to achieve your goals. Other presenters come from varied backgrounds such as artists, a variety of horse trainers, authors, professors, Agility Dog Trainer, a film industry leader, an equestrian photographer, and noted horsewomen.
