Internationally-acclaimed American horse trainer Farah DeJohnette will be visiting Wairarapa in November to deliver a three-day horsemanship clinic.
Ms DeJohnette says her training focuses on the relationship between horse and rider and three important leadership elements: connection, communication and trust.
"Technique, though important in a lot of areas of horsemanship, is only half of the process," she said.
"Connection is the other half, and is often the missing component: not just in pleasure partnerships, but also in highly-trained professional and performance partnerships.
"If I put my connection with my horse first, it builds a natural desire to perform in the horse."
