The Foundation of FEEL!
Date and Location TBA
"Whenever I need any kind of help with horses, Paige is the
first person I reach out to. She has always been good with the hotter/sensitive horses and we share the same beliefs on how to treat horses and approach them. I have huge respect for Chuck and Paige and what they have accomplished.
I couldn’t think of better people to coach me along my journey with horses."
Sarah Corbeil
This Is For Lifelong Horse Lovers Who:
may struggle to establish a consistent 'feel'
are confused by disparate methods and opinions
are sometimes nervous or want MORE confidence
want to establish better boundaries & respect
are thinking, "This isn't how I want it to FEEL!"️
want to bring their riding to the next level
are looking for a safe space and a solution ...
AND...
are ready for CHANGE!
Are you a horse loving human whose life experiences, fears,
limiting beliefs, self-doubts, and physical decrepitudes,
infect your time with horses?
Me, too!
Or at least, that USED to be my truth!
After a lifetime working within the horse-sport world, I fell into emotional and physical decrepitudes that kept me from working magic with horses. I had already left my professional role in equestrian sport, as I questioned what had been normalized in sport and lesson barns.
Thankfully, cancer treatment gave me the time and the excuse I needed to ditch decrepitude and leave the old model behind. Nothing like staring death in the face to get to what is REALLY important! I made it my full-time mission to remedy those things.
I can show you what I am doing to regain the mobility and magic I once had with horses … and TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL.
This clinic is THE FIRST of a series for horse lovers wishing to overcome barriers preventing the level of connection and flow they have always dreamed of with their horses. It is for those who are ready for the tools to break through their limiting beliefs and fears, to create the intuitive respectful relationship they want.
Through no-nonsense, science-backed, heart-centered Horsecraft, the practice of specially developed HeartMath breathing exercises, and an intimate understanding of sentient communication delivered by Paige …
Establish What Great Horsecraft Looks and Feels Like
Rate your Horse-Human Relationship
Establish Realistic Goals
Understand How Your Horse Experiences Their World
Learn How to Calm Your Horse
Establish Respectful Boundaries
In-hand, In Class, and Mounted Exercises
Establish feel
Is FEEL learnable? YES and No - Turns out the Magic of FEEL is already IN YOU - and I can facilitate MORE of it!!
You just need the tools and the practice, and we can give you BOTH!
The struggle is real.... and if you still feel like you're:
Afraid you may never achieve the Magic you were hoping for on your Horsecraft journey
Wondering if you may have to sell your horse or quit riding because of lost confidence
Struggling with clarity, timing and feel
You feel like a ‘wannabe’ - a ‘Muggle’ in a Magician's world
Feelings WE can help YOU achieve:
The confidence that comes when you can regulate your nervous system and are no longer a victim of circumstances who gets high-jacked under pressure
Better balance and biomechanics
Happy to go home with exercises to develop a sympathetic seat and hands, and move WITH your horse
Improved body awareness necessary for developing feel and attunement
The tools to improve your own intuition and timing
A state of flow, with boots-on-the-ground, science-backed methods that will give you power over your nervous system, and power over your reaction - the ONLY thing we can actually control in this life!
A growing level of subtly, joy and connection
A growing confidence as your seat improves and you realize you have the tools to keep improving ON YOUR OWN
Relief and satisfaction, as you develop tools to increase clarity, timing, and feel - the hallmarks of ‘MAGIC!’
Benefits to YOUR horse:
Your horse will notice you noticing them, and feel seen, heard, understood, and appreciated - the beginning of attunement and respect
Your horse will gain confidence in your leadership
Your horse will feel calmer and be easier to settle-in new situations
Your horse will be more tuned-in, tapped-in, turned-on, and motivated
Your horse will be able to move more freely and correctly, as you sit more softly, and centered
Your horse will feel better in their body, as you become smoother, more balanced, and subtle
You will be able to access a feeling of calm at will, and leave with the confidence of someone who has the tools for relationship-building with their horse.
Throughout the clinic, you will add new exercises to your toolbox that can develop a deeper relationship of oneness with ANY horse, whether green as grass or an older, seasoned horse.
You'll learn how to...
Regulate your nervous system with HeartMath Tools

"Now that I know what I know - I can filter the advice of horse pros with confidence ... and make a bit of magic with my horses, on my own."
“I used to be so confused. I didn’t know whose methods to follow or who to trust. My horse was sour and fed up. Now that I know what I know - I can filter the advice of horse pros with confidence, and know if they know their stuff!
In fact, Paige and Chuck helped me understand horses and make a bit of magic with my horses, on my own.
I gained confidence and clarity. Thanks, Paige and Chuck!”
~ Lucie Simpson, Ontario, Canada
About Your Instructor
Don’t miss your chance to have the relationship with your horse of your dreams.
All disciplines and experience levels of riders (and horses!) are welcome.
My name is Paige Lockton, and as an International competitor in the sport of Three-Day Eventing; just a regular girl who came from a small Northern town; I had to learn to make the most of the horses I had. Without money for a string of EASY, athletic, well-trained horses … I had to get creative! To pay for my career in international Eventing, I rode confirmed bolters, anxious mares, and rearing stallions - horses that no one else wanted get on.
“Send it to that long-legged Canadian - SHE’LL RIDE IT! She’ll ride ANYTHING!”
Thankfully, growing up as the daughter of a veterinarian endowed me with an innate ability to calm traumatized animals. I know what it takes to inspire trust, and create willing partners who are happy to see you at the gate and outperform better bred horses!
I also taught keen adult amateurs from non-horsey families and witnessed them struggle to develop ‘feel’ and the relationship of mutual trust they dreamed of. So often, they just didn’t understand the species, so their reactions were all wrong!
Their intentions were good, but they were unwittingly causing tension that too often ended in rearing, refusals, and losing confidence by the day. I helped them through their frustration as they grappled with assimilating conflicting ‘methods’ between horse pros.
In this unregulated industry where anyone can hang their hat, I have seen EVERYTHING! Where do you start and how do you know who to trust? I get it. No wonder you are confused!
In fact, I struggled with this, too. Over the decades, I was lucky to learn from the best horse people from across the disciplines … but it wasn’t easy! It was confusing to assimilate all of their methods and approaches.
I filtered my learning through my Dad’s lens – a revered vet and horseman – and together we figured out how to gel methodologies and philosophies.
Here, we share what you need to know to help YOU develop your instincts, build trust, be the leader your horse needs, and improve your horse-human relationship, with philosophies we live by with horses ... AND LIFE!
LOCATION: TBD FARM
