Shadowdancer was founded by Helen Amanda Russell to promote human self-awareness facilitated by horses.

Shadowdancer offers two programs:

The Horsepatter Approach is for riders and horse owners, offering an in-depth experience of horsemanship skills. Using physical, emotional and body awareness techniques, we learn to understand how horses “read” us, leading to the resolution of perceived training issues, heightened rider awareness, and a stronger human/equine bond and partnership.

The Epona Approach offers a ground breaking method of drawing on centuries of equine wisdom as a means of understanding ourselves. Horses teach us about human dynamics. They support us in changing our attitudes and behaviours by mirroring our emotions, thoughts and non verbal communications. The horses are the teachers. They collaborate with us to awaken our undiscovered power, authentic leadership and enhanced self awareness for professional development and personal growth.

Follow the “Way of the Horse” to the future.

Helen is available for “one-on-one” consultations, group demonstrations, clinics or
co-facilitated workshops at her site or yours.
