WHAT IS MOVEMENT LANGUAGE?
Movement Language is...
the communication system horses naturally speak—the language of presence, energy, rhythm, and embodied intention.
Inside For The Horse Community, you'll master Movement Language through the Patterns of Reciprocity™
This is where theory becomes embodied practice.
Instead of relying on mechanical or force-based methods, you'll learn to translate your thoughts into movement your horse reads and understands—the same way they communicate with each other.
The Patterns don't change based on the complexity of the movement.
They work the same whether you're asking for a walk-halt transition or Spanish Walk. The language stays consistent. Only the conversation deepens.
WHY JOIN BEFORE DECEMBER 1?
On December 1, 2025, For The Horse Community membership increases from $27/month to $37/month to reflect the depth of teaching, support, and transformation you receive inside.
But if you join before November 30, you lock in Founding Member pricing of $27/month—and that rate never changes.
Founding Members receive:
✓ Legacy pricing locked in forever - Your rate never increases
✓ Founding Member status - Recognition as an early supporter
✓ Patterns of Reciprocity™ - The proven framework
✓ Everything listed below - Monthly live sessions, private community, learning tools
Starting December 1: New members pay $37/month for the same access.
The difference: $120/year, every year, for as long as you're a member.
YOUR MEMBERSHIP INCLUDES:
Voice notes, videos, teaching moments, and reflections from my ongoing work with horses. You see the thought process behind the practice—the refinements, the questions, the breakthroughs, the moments when a horse teaches me something new.
This is where theory becomes lived experience. Where you witness Movement Language in action across different horses, different challenges, different days.
You'll receive:
- Occasional voice messages sharing insights
- Video clips from daily sessions with my horses
- Reflections on specific Patterns in practice
- Real-time discoveries and adjustments
- The messy, beautiful reality of embodied horsemanship
Special pricing on intensive courses, live clinics, private sessions, and premium offerings. Founding Members receive first access to everything I create.
Typical discounts:
- 20-30% off advanced courses
- Early registration for sold-out clinics
- Priority booking for private sessions
- Exclusive member-only offerings
Join me each month for focused Movement Language horse training practice. We explore one of the Patterns of Reciprocity™ through movement demonstrations, real-time examples with horses, and open conversation.
Each session includes Q&A where you can ask about your specific challenges—whether you're working on mounting anxiety, trailer loading, transitions, or advanced movements. You receive direct guidance on applying Movement Language to your unique situation.
Inside the Community, you'll master the complete framework for translating thought into embodied communication your horse understands.
The Patterns teach you:
- How your thoughts become movement your horse reads
- The transition from mind → body → action made conscious and clear
- How to communicate in the space between intention and movement
- Why horses respond to embodied presence, not mechanical dictation
We practice these Patterns together, at every level of riding. From basic groundwork to Grand Prix, the Patterns scale to meet you where you are.
Structured courses, video demonstrations, printable guides, and reflection prompts designed to help you embody Movement Language in your daily practice.
You'll find:
- Step-by-step breakdowns of each Pattern
- Video library of Movement Language applications
- Guided practices for developing embodied awareness
- Seasonal challenges and focus themes
- Resources for common challenges (spooking, bracing, resistance)
New content added regularly based on what the Community needs most.
A quiet, intentional online space to ask questions, share discoveries, receive feedback, and connect with other riders who understand what it means to speak your horse's language.
This is not a typical horse training community filled with conflicting advice and judgment. This is a space for riders committed to Movement Language—practicing the Patterns together, learning from each other's experiences, and supporting the journey from method-based training to embodied communication.
Inside, you'll find:
- Daily discussions and support
- Video sharing and feedback
- Success stories and breakthroughs
- Challenges and questions welcomed
- A circle of riders who get it
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
✓ You've completed the Movement Language mini-course and want to master the Patterns
✓ You're a rider, coach, or horse owner craving more than method-based training
✓ You've read Going Beyond and want structured support to embody the principles
✓ You're feeling the shift toward deeper communication and need a community who understands
✓ You want to practice Movement Language as a lifestyle, not just a technique
✓ You're ready to discover where intention meets movement, stillness meets resonance, and how deeply you can truly connect with your horse
✓ You're tired of drilling, forcing, or relying on mechanical aids to communicate
✓ You know horses speak a different language—and you're ready to learn it
WHERE FEEL MEETS STRUCTURE
The Movement Language mini-course gave you the foundation—3 Patterns and the core concepts.
For The Horse Community gives you the mastery:
→ Patterns of Reciprocity™ practiced monthly
→ Ongoing guidance as you integrate Movement Language daily
→ A community fluent in your horse's native language
→ The structure and support to transform inspiration into embodied practice
This is not another training method. It's learning to communicate in the language horses have been speaking for thousands of years—while we've been focused on aids, cues, and control.
Movement Language With Horses works because it's not training at all. It's communication. Reciprocity. Partnership.
WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING
"The shift has been profound. And learning how other riders approach this, makes it even richer. I couldn't do this alone. I'm so intrigued, thank you!"— Terry, 50 years riding, Founding Member
"I have owned horses and trained many over the years, but this was a first for me. I enjoyed the video your narratives and the discussions. The dialogue was very educational. It was refreshing to see a newer movement being taught to your beautiful horse, and never once did you force or overcorrect the horse. We need to see more of this as it is not always being taught in today's world. My aha is seeing the connection between you and your horse, something us riders want to achieve."— Donna, Dressage trainer, Founding Member
"My Aha since joining the Community is the importance of clarity and communication to connect, and how with horses, it is so sensory based. My two brumbies, who are very in tune with their 'inner horse', show me that to connect with them I have to really learn their behaviour and language ... it is all sensory based and here I am in this Community piecing it all together." — Natasha, Dressage Rider, Founding Member

THE DECEMBER 1 PRICE INCREASE
On December 1, 2025, For The Horse Community membership increases from $27/month to $37/month to reflect the depth of support, teaching, and transformation members receive.
This isn't a sale. It's a price alignment.
As the Community grows and I continue adding resources, expanding the learning library, and deepening the monthly live sessions, the value has outpaced the original $27/month pricing.
$37/month accurately reflects what you receive:
But if you join before November 30, you lock in the original Founding Member rate of $27/month—forever.
After November 30:
- New members: $37/month
- Founding Members: $27/month (locked in)
- Same Community, same access, same transformation
- You just made the wise decision to join early
The math: $120/year saved, every year, for as long as you're a member.
Over 5 years, that's $600 saved simply by joining before the increase.
YOUR HORSE HAS BEEN SPEAKING MOVEMENT LANGUAGE ALL ALONG
You've started learning it.

ONE MORE THING BEFORE YOU JOIN
Remember: This looks like "nothing" because it's happening in the language horses understand—not the language human observers expect to see.
When you watch Movement Language in action (like the Spanish Walk demonstration in the mini-course), you might think "I don't see anything different."
That's exactly the point.
What looks like "nothing" from the outside is actually continuous micro-adjustments at the level of thought—translating through your body in ways your horse reads instantly but cameras rarely capture.
Your job isn't to copy what I'm doing externally.
Your job is to learn the internal process that creates this quality of communication—and then apply it at YOUR level, with YOUR horse, in YOUR riding.
That's what For The Horse Community teaches.
And that's what the monthly live sessions, the Patterns, and ongoing community support help you embody—every day, at every level.

Frequently asked questions
About Our Brand
Movement Language is the communication system horses naturally speak—the language of presence, energy, rhythm, and embodied intention. Instead of relying on mechanical approaches, riders learn to translate their thoughts into movement their horse reads and understands. Created over 40 years of study combining classical dressage, professional dance, and kinesiology.
The Movement Language mini-course teaches you 3 of the 7 Patterns of Reciprocity™—the foundation. For The Horse Community supports these Patterns with monthly live practice sessions with Chris, ongoing community support, and structured learning tools to integrate Movement Language into your daily riding. The mini-course is an introduction. The Community is mastery.
The Patterns of Reciprocity™ are the complete framework for Movement Language communication with horses. Each Pattern teaches a specific aspect of how thoughts translate through your body into action your horse understands. You learn 3 Patterns in the mini-course. You master them inside the Community through monthly live sessions and ongoing practice.
About Our products
No. While the book Going Beyond: Mastering Unspoken Connections enhances your experience and deepens your understanding of the philosophy behind Movement Language, it's not required. All principles are taught inside the Community through monthly live sessions, video demonstrations, and learning materials.
Each month, I lead a focused session exploring one of the 7 Patterns through movement demonstrations with horses, real-time teaching moments, and open Q&A. You can ask about your specific challenges—whether that's mounting, trailer loading, spooking, transitions, or advanced movements—and receive direct guidance on applying Movement Language horse training to your situation.
No. Movement Language works at every level—from mounting to Spanish Walk, etc. The Patterns scale to your experience. Whether you're working on basic walk-halt transitions or preparing for Grand Prix, you're learning the same communication system. The language doesn't change. Only the conversation deepens.
About orders
Movement Language transcends discipline. Western riders, trail riders, natural horsemanship practitioners, dressage riders, jumpers—all learn the same Patterns because horses speak the same language regardless of what saddle you use. This is about communication, not method.
The monthly live session is typically 60 minutes. Beyond that, you engage with the Community and practice the Patterns at your own pace. Some members check in daily, others weekly. You take what you need when you need it. Your membership doesn't expire—the learning library and community are always available.
Yes. You can cancel your membership anytime through your account settings. Your 7-day free trial gives you a chance to explore the Community risk-free. If you joined as a Founding Member before November 30, your $27/month rate is locked in for as long as you remain a member.
Immediately after joining, you'll receive login credentials via email. You'll access the Community through our member portal, where you'll find the live session calendar, learning library, discussion forums, and all member resources. Everything is in one place.

You're still welcome to join! You'll pay the new membership rate of $37/month (or $397/year) and receive the same access to all 7 Patterns, monthly live sessions, community space, and learning resources. The only difference is the price—Founding Members locked in $27/month before the increase.
