Balimo™ (Balance in Motion) recognizes that the horse mirrors the rider in its movements. By removing tension and blockages in the rider, communication with the horse is improved. Balimo™ training uses exercises (mounted, unmounted and Balimo™ chair) specifically selected to improve the mobility of the rider's pelvis and spine, teaching the riders' seat to follow the 3D movements of the horse.
Inquire about hosting a Balimo™ Seat Clinic - a popular way to bring this specialized training to your stable.
Balimo™ chairs and books are also available for sale.

Wellspring Equine Consulting offers lessons and workshops - public or private and consulting for those with specific needs. We will provide sessions for groups, pony clubs or camps. We also provide Equine Facilitated Therapy as a form of therapy for human healing using our horses.
For learning pleasure or in problem situations, we help you expand your knowledge of horse management, behaviours, care and training techniques;
For those in need of healing, come and experience the real horsepower behind improving communication, confidence and relationship skills.
Wellspring uses science based information and research in all their work. We help people to "see" from the horses perspective - to comprehend what horses do and why, which in turn is the source of understanding how to communicate, build a positive relationship and connect.
