About me
I started to ride when I was 10 years old. I did some jumping and dressage and at the age of 23 I bought my own first horse.
It was a 2 years old not started warm blood mare who turned out to be quite a big challenge to me and with whom I wasn't able to get on using my previously obtained skills. She was very emotional, panicked pretty quickly and we had a big problem with trailer loading. None of the known by me at that time so called "traditional people" wasn't able to give me any clues on how to improve our relationship and communication.
Few years ago I was asked to be a translator during the first PNH clinic which took part in my region and in this way my new horsemanship journey began. I was also able to take part in few PNH clinics and then I spent almost 3 months at Berni Zambail place in Switzerland.
In 2004 we grounded with few friends of mine the Society of Natural Horsemanship which main goal is to make the world a better place for horses through promoting good horsemanship and partner approach towards these wonderful animals. Our motto is an Arabian proverb: "Win thy horse's heart first, then speaketh to his brain, thou will be then able to exploit his strength".
We decided that one of our activities would consist in organizing clinics with different horsemen in our area and in this way I met Steve and Irena in 2005 during the first Silversand Horsemanship clinic in South Poland. I was impressed by the way Steve was able to communicate with horses and help people to understand them better.
I took my mare to the clinic with Steve in 2006 and in 2007 I was able to spend few weeks in the Silversand Horsemanship Centre as a working student. I learned a lot during these few weeks, but I realized how much I had learned when I was back in Poland and started to ride again many different horses and started to do more teaching as well. I also realized that the horsemanship is a life long journey and I decided to fly again to Australia to Steve and Irena in 2008.
I was very pleased to be asked to become an Associate Instructor, as I believe in the Silversand philosophy and I would like to try to help as many people as possible to understand their horses better to make the world a better place for these wonderful animals.
