Peace Haven Farm

Peace Haven Farm is located in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts and is above all, an educatinal resource. According to Bob Sadowski, horsemanship is an art form. It takes creativity, rhythm and seeing existing concepts in a new way. Bob will be the first to tell you that he has not discovered or invented any new concepts that did not already exist somewhere in the field of horsemanship techniques, science or psychology.... (read more) What he has done is created a different approach to helping people and their horses by using psychology, horse behavior, natural horsemanship techniques and even the function of mirror neurons. (For more about this, type “mirror neurons” in your browser) The program starts with first understanding and taking care of horse’s hierarchy of needs; safety, comfort, food and play. Horse owners develop a strong sense of “timing and feel” for effective communication. The language and communication is further developed by determining the horse’s Equinality and then using only those specific strategies that are effective with the particular type of horse. “These concepts and methods are far beyond just horse training and more like a “state of being” with a horse on the level of where the horse exists.” says Bob. For many horse owners, having and developing a safe and respectful relationship with our horse is the ultimate dream.
