In the world of horsemanship, understanding the intricate workings of the equine mind is paramount.
Enter "Horse of a Different Color," a pioneering organization dedicated to equine education and brain-centered horsemanship.
At the helm of their transformative clinics is Jennifer Currie, equestrian, author, and Equine-Education Consultant, whose expertise in educational neuroscience drives their mission of building safe and trusting horses.
Currie's approach is grounded in the principles of educational neuroscience, emphasizing the importance of understanding both the horse and human brain.
Through this lens, she has found that by leveraging this knowledge, trainers and riders can tailor their approaches to be more effective and compassionate, ultimately leading to better outcomes and a deeper connection between them.
Joining Currie is Wendy Shaffer, a Masterson Method Certified Practitioner, whose knowledge of the mind and body brings a holistic dimension to the clinics.
Shaffer enlightens on the ways in which our horses “talk” to us, raising awareness of the instinctual body language horses display.
Together, they form an incredible duo, educating on "The whole horse" – encompassing both mental and physical aspects.
Their clinics, aptly named "Two Minds, One Mission," offer a unique opportunity for horse enthusiasts to delve into the fascinating world of brain-centered horsemanship.
Participants learn how to foster safe and trusting relationships with their equine partners by gaining insights into the inner workings of the horse's brain and body.
The clinics incorporate ground and obstacle work to build connection, communication, and conversation with horses.
Through hands-on demonstrations and interactive sessions, attendees learn practical skills and techniques to apply in their own horsemanship adventure.
The impact of "Two Minds, One Mission" extends far beyond the clinic arena, as participants leave empowered with newfound knowledge and confidence in their ability to communicate effectively with their horses.
With Currie and Shaffer leading the charge, the journey towards building safe and trusting relationships between humans and horses becomes an inspiring and transformative experience for all involved.

It was sometimes difficult to get horses to consume the liquid and powder, and it was surely more work than it needed to be.
Your horses will love it and the bugs will stay away—that’s guaranteed!
As Equestrians, we’re undoubtedly blessed to spend our lives with horses, but it’s not an endeavor for the faint of heart…it’s a life often filled with long hours and hard work!
As some of you know, for many years, I’ve offered massage therapy and Magnawave / pemf, for both horses and equestrians.
The sports nutrition line I’m offering is comprised of organic, real food (not synthetic!) ingredients that can be traced from seed to package.
I’m excited to share these new options with you!
It’s incredibly common for equestrians to share their lives not only with horses but also with dogs, cats, and other beloved pets.
Pets deserve the same level of care and attention we give our horses: products that are safe, effective, and made from trusted ingredients.
When you care for horses, you understand the value of quality.
