Peaceful Horse

Peaceful Horse is an international educational initiative led by Erika Rado, focused on embodied presence, attentive listening, and connection between people and animals. Working alongside horses at liberty, Erika guides participants in developing awareness of subtle communication and creative intelligence. The program welcomes passionate horse lovers, and prior equine experience is not required.

Its Relational Horsemanship lessons take place outdoors at a private pasture and are conducted on the ground, not as riding instruction. Individual lessons and small-group workshops help students build skills progressively, beginning with contact-free observation and, as appropriate, developing toward touch and closer interaction with horses. Group learning is limited to four participants, and the approach adapts to the horses, environment, and each learner.

Peaceful Horse also offers animal communication sessions, in which Erika helps people explore communication with a horse, dog, cat, or other animal in their lives. Her background includes professional animal communication, intuitive animal wellness, and human medical massage therapy.
