Equestrian Tai Chi

WHAT IS EQUESTRIAN TAI CHI?

Equestrian Tai Chi is a unique form of Tai Chi, developed by founder Jenny Pim, that can be practiced on horseback or on the ground. This practice combines the positive aspects of Tai Chi with the therapeutic influence of a horse's natural energy. Notably, Equestrian Tai Chi can also be performed beside a horse that is unable to be ridden, facilitating a strong horse energy connection. The primary aim of Equestrian Tai Chi is to promote the smooth flow of Chi (internal energy) through the practitioner's body, while enhancing the connection between your energy and that of your horse's .


The practice works by moving and cultivating the Chi within your body. At the conclusion of your Equestrian Tai Chi routine, you store your energy in your Tantien, the major energy center located a few inches below and behind your navel. 


Many practitioners report feeling a deeper connection to their horse and experiencing heightened personal energy after engaging in this practice. Plus, practicing Tai Chi on horseback is simply fun!

ACHIEVE HARMONY AND BALANCE

Practicing Equestrian Tai Chi brings harmony and balance to our emotions, offering numerous benefits. When you engage in Tai Chi on horseback, or on the ground, regularly, it softens the energetic boundaries between you and your horse's energy fields, fostering a deeper connection and enhancing the lines of communication between you both.


The mutual energy field that develops from this practice benefits both you and your horse, flowing seamlessly between you. This unified energy field is far more powerful than your individual energies, as together it amplifies the healthy effects and advantages for both you and your horse.

BENEFITS

Like us, our horses also have energetic bodies. When you practice Equestrian Tai Chi, it promotes a strong horse energy connection by merging your energy fields with that of your horse. This synergy smooths out both your energy and your horse's energy, creating a calming and relaxing effect while removing blockages for both of you. 


Most horses appreciate this smooth flow of energy, expressing their comfort through behaviors like dropping their heads and licking and chewing—common signs that they are relaxed and happy. 


Horses possess an innate ability to sense our emotions and feelings, as these resonate through our physical bodies and into our etheric field. Hence, the Equestrian Tai Chi benefits extend beyond the individual; they foster a deeper understanding and bond between rider and horse during practices like Tai Chi on horseback.
