About Daniel

Daniel is a seasoned horseman with 30+ years experience. Even ‘difficult’ horses resonate positively with his calm energy, unwavering consistency and broad understanding, and he enjoys forming strong bonds and deep trust with his equine friends.

While he loves and teaches horse wellbeing and natural horsemanship, it is the healing power and the spiritual dimension of the horse-human bond that fascinates him the most, and which he wants to make available and share with people and horses.

He lives with his family on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand.

About Spirit Horse

Spirit Horse was born out of a desire to share the deep wonder that can come out of just being with horses.

While we traditionally have used horses to work for us, to help us fight wars, to carry us places, and to excel in sports, there is an underlying quality in being with horses that often gets missed, something even more valuable: It is the element of awe and wonder, and with that the potential for personal transformation. And that’s what Spirit Horse is all about.

In addition, Spirit Horse also has a focus on ‘giving horses a better deal’ – by helping people find out more about how horses see the world – so we can learn to communicate more effectively and build deeper, stronger relationships. And by helping to better understand their fundamental needs, and how to best get them met.

Four Main Focus Areas:

Being With Horses

Spirit Horse offers natural horse experiences in which people can experience that there is a whole lot more to horses than we traditionally expect of them. You will walk away with a new concept of what the horse human relationship has to offer, and feeling embedded and connected to Life and Spirit.

Horse Whispering

Become a better human for your horse and learn to see the world through your horse’s eyes. Experience the joy, wonder, self-awareness and peace of mind that comes from creating a deep and trusting horse/human relationship. Learn the way of Natural Horsemanship.

Healing With Horses

Horses have the power to heal. They have an extraordinary ability to emotionally transform people’s lives. Our program offers equine assisted healing options to help heal yourself, or someone close to you.

Horse Wellbeing

What’s good for us must also be good for the horse. Challenge conventional thought and learn more about horses’ fundamental needs (social, nutritional and physical) and how to best meet these. Find out how to do all this while potentially also improving your pasture and making your own life easier.
