BUILD A NATURAL FOUNDATION
What’s Different?
Wild horses still live the balance we have lost. If we learn from them how to live in harmony again, we can transfer this inner balance to our horses. This creates a true partnership, not based on control, but on trust and natural leadership.
Our Journey through the 5 Levels of Relationship
Level 1: A new Beginning
The World of wild Horses
What we learn about wild horses: How do wild horses live, and what is their herd structure like? Are there lead stallions or/and lead mares, and how often do conflicts occur? What factors influence when and how horses behave toward each other?
Let’s apply these insights: Level 1 is all about building a strong foundation – or safe haven – for us and our horse. We will explore what we can do to become the most authentic and powerful version of ourselves. Let’s talk about: Self-Love, Self-Responsibility, and Self-Care.
Bonus Materials:
E-Book: Help your traumatized horse to heal with ‘Energy Work’.
Guided Meditation: Self-Love
Exercise: Mine or yours?
Guided Meditation: Release your horse.
Exercise: Shaking Practice
Level 2: Invitation
Asking to get invited
What we learn about wild horses: What signals do horses give to get invited into a new herd, what does an invitation look like and how do they greet each other?
Let’s apply these insights: Let’s start part 2 with talking about empathy, an essential trait for building trust with your horse. You now also give your horse the signal you’d like to become part of its herd. Learn, when and how we know, that we’re part of our horse’s herd, and let’s talk about who you ‘want to be’ in the relationship (and why this matters).
Bonus Materials:
Guided Meditation: Dream Version (plus Workbook)
Guided Meditation: Trusting your Intuition
Guided Meditation: Explore your Boundaries.
Level 3: Becoming Herd
Two Horses interact within a Herd:
What we learn about wild horses: Let’s take a look at the herd routines and rules. Is there a specific daily routine? How often and when do social interactions occur, and how do horses ask for them? Here, you’ll learn all about the natural communication among individual horses, a language that your horse understands immediately without conditioning.
Let’s apply these insights: Now we translate wild horse behaviours and signals to the human-horse relationship and learn how to give clear and authentic signals. We dive deep into the different character types of horses (Fire, Wood, Earth, Metal, or Water type personality) to understand your horse’s character and specific needs. Authentic communication also includes a deeper reflection on our own stories, patterns, and survival strategies – and a deep understanding of who we truly are… We also talk about concrete and peaceful problem-solving techniques for topics such as: how to ask for space, how to respond to a contact request, and how to help your nervous, reactive, insecure, sad, or frustrated horse to be happy again.
Bonus Materials:
Guided Meditations: Change of Perspective (plus Workbork).
E-Book: Self Love and Self Leadership – Part 1: Discover. This includes the
Guided Meditation: Feel my Body and the
Guided Meditation: Peace with my Partner or Ex-Partner
Level 4: Assuming Tasks
One Horse interacts with two or more within a Herd
What we learn about wild horses: Now we dive into the communication among more than two horses within the herd, such as leading and directing during a location change. We explore when which horse assumes certain tasks within the herd, based on age, gender, character and the situation, e.g. standing guard, education, and more.
Let’s apply these insights: As an established herd member, we now also start taking on certain tasks within the herd, e.g. standing guard, guiding, leading, and engaging in shared play at liberty. You’re now also ‘allowed’ to educate – mostly with positive reinforcement (we also talk about why this is a very natural way of training). Leading our horse confidently is also a very important leadership skill, therefore we will dive deep into this and discuss peaceful, but clear problem-solving approaches, addressing holistically why the horse behaves in certain ways and how we can respond. We consider whether the behavior is natural and determine what concrete actions we can take when our horse pulls us to the grass, dawdles, stops, overtakes, or experiences nervousness or separation anxiety, when out and about.

E-Book: Self Love and Self Leadership – Part 2: Realign. This includes the:
Guided Meditation: Burning Commitments and the
Guided Meditation: Transform Negative Emotions.
Level 5: Cooperative Leadership
Two Horses from different Herds interact:
What we learn about wild horses: On level 5 we take a closer look at the communication among two or more horses from different herds within the herd association, which is almost exclusively done by the herd stallion. Aside from these and other specific tasks the herd stallion has within his own herd, he behaves like every other adult horse within the herd most of the time.
Let’s apply these insights: Now, we additionally take on the tasks of the herd stallion. To do this, we have to step more and more into our true leadership qualities and abilities, such as resolving conflicts, assembling a harmonious herd, and also showing that we make good decisions and that we can protect the herd at all times. After proving to our horse’s herd that we’re competent, they will eventually offer us herd leadership, allowing us to take any horse out and lead or ride it, even in unfamiliar terrain.
Bonus Materials:

Guided Meditation: Ascending my Throne and the
Guided Meditation: Heal your inner Child.
Plus:

Hi, I’m Britta
Leadership Coach, Psychologist, and wild Horse Explorer
Like you, I’ve always wanted to communicate with my horse peacefully and naturally, just like with my best friend. This led me on a journey away from trying to create an obedient horse, towards a completely natural way of interaction.
But this journey wasn’t easy or linear, as I struggled to balance tolerance with making clear decisions. Only now, after many years of research, trial and error, and countless sleepless nights, have I developed my very own approach – a blend of evolutionary psychology, natural leadership, spirituality, and, of course, the wisdom of wild horses.
Now, I’d love to share this with you through Being Herd.
Live Talk
Join me for my next FREE Talk with a Live Q&A on January 16th, 2025, at 6 PM PST, where I talk about wild horses: how they live, communicate, and lead.
Or watch the video series featured in the talk right away. You’ll receive a link to both as soon as you sign up.
What others are saying
Kind Words
I can’t say enough about how much working with Britta has changed my relationship with my horse. My horse used to be so nervous, and, I’ll admit, there were moments when I felt anxious about what could happen. But Britta showed me how to truly understand wild horse behavior and communication. Through this, I learned to see things from my horse’s perspective, and that has made all the difference.
Now, my horse is so much calmer, and we’re both more relaxed and connected. I’m incredibly grateful for Britta’s help—it’s been a truly transformative experience. I’ve also joined Being Herd, as I can’t wait to learn even more about wild horses.
Working with Britta has been such a relief—I finally feel like I can communicate with Spirit naturally, without all the pressure. I’ve developed my own way of being with him, and it’s made our time together so much more peaceful. I don’t ride as much now; instead, we enjoy relaxed walks, connecting in a way that feels right for both of us. I’m so grateful for this new approach.
A highlight of my month, for over three years, is journaling with Britta and her horses. Britta’s farm is like a sanctuary – a place full of peace. It has, and continues to be, meaningful to learn SO much about myself, way more than years of other counselling.
Finally, able to manifest a lifelong dream of being with horses, I am learning what amazing creatures they are. In my view, they have a lot to teach us humans about how we can more fully maximize our lives.
Britta’s deep wisdom of horses and her gentleness, passion about them, and the lovely way they respond to her is a gift to be in the presence of. They are a gorgeous herd with lots of respect for each other, and clear on who is the leader. Britta is a wonderful facilitator – offering fabulous listening, safety, support, and tremendous insights.
I am delighted Britta has created “Being Herd,” an online adventure where participants can learn more about horses, as well as, how to “be with” and “follow the herd rules” for our mutual joy and growth. Thank you, Britta, for continuing to offer programs full of rich information and experiences.
Why Rewilding?
The Relationship with your Horse always reflects the Relationship you have with yourself.
I believe our Horses tell Stories about us. It’s now up to us to decide to listen and become the most authentic and powerful Version of ourselves, so that our Horse wants to be Part of our Story and follows us – not out of obligation, but because it chooses to. And wild Horses guide us in discovering this natural Way of Being Together.
