Protégé Program

My view is, that if you could improve your understanding, trust and confidence with your horse, it would have a significant impact on your connection and performance.
The Connected Champions protégé program will help you understand your horse on a profound level, it will increase your confidence to push your edge and it will create a more relaxed and enjoyable riding experience for both you and your horse.
The power comes from the weekly group mentoring sessions, facilitated by Rommie Buhler. This program is conducted over an 8 week period. Each week, a group mentoring session is held, bringing the riding team together to explore the concepts and learnings of that week’s topic.
The discussion focuses on one key question: “How can we apply these principles to create superior relationships and elevate our performance?”
UNDERSTAND your Horse with unshakeable Confidence.
Build a deep mutual Respect.
IMPROVE your Performance.
You know your horse has their own unique personality and quirky traits and they can often be difficult to understand and communicate with.
You also know that leading them through dominance hasn't improved your performance or partnership let alone solved those frustrating behavioural issues.
And you've probably already picked up on the fact your equine partner craves RESPECT, TRUST and mutual UNDERSTANDING? Sounds a lot like us really doesn't it!
The trouble is, that while you are aware of this, the process to get there has so far been elusive.
WHAT YOU KNOW IS THIS-
➡️ You want to be able to troubleshoot at any given moment.
➡️ You don't just want to be an okay jumper or hunter or barrel racer or..., you want to be a great one.
➡️ You want to be able to have a conversation with them to know and understand them better from their perspective so you can care for them in a more appropriate way.
➡️ You want be able to make quick and smart decisions.
If you want exceptional support, guidance and mentoring you have come to the right place!
▶️ Are you ready to find out what MOTIVATES your horse, become more CONFIDENT in the saddle and improve your performance?
▶️ Are you ready to access your deepest decision maker; your intuition to better UNDERSTAND what your horse needs and develop a deeper friendship and CONNECTION with them?
Your horse isn't performing in the way you'd hoped.
Your horse has become difficult to manage.
Living in a world that is reluctant to challenge outdated belief systems, limits not only our personal growth, but it stops us seeing the opportunities that come our way that have the potential to transform our lives in ways we could never imagine. Intuitive Interspecies Communication is one of these concepts that if you open your mind, it may well be the greatest thing you ever do. I would like to share an excerpt from the Foreword of my book Animals Speak by Veterinarian, Rachael Smith.
As a veterinarian, this would be a useful tool (interspecies communication), but beyond the scope of what I understood, and beyond the belief of my education and training. As a veterinarian, it is also easy to ‘pigeon hole’ people who have such claims.
A valuable lesson I have learned in my profession are the things we most often resent or criticise, are the things we fear or just don’t yet understand. As people, we have a choice to remain open minded and attempt to learn more about the things or people we resent or criticise, or continue to do so. The outcome of these learnings may confirm the scepticism was warranted, or even better may confirm there is validity and value for such a skill set or person in our lives or profession, even if we don’t fully understand the process.
When Rommie asked me to write the foreword for her book, I was excited that her experiences and knowledge would be shared, but I was also conflicted. How, as a member of the veterinary profession could I endorse a book that challenged the trained scientific logic that we are conditioned to? On reflection, I realised that the two are not mutually exclusive, rather an opportunity for collaboration and integration. An opportunity to endorse the intent of the subject matter, which is aligned with all animal care providers, all of which have an overarching goal that is greater than their own individual professions, and that is: to improve the health and wellbeing of animals, and the connection and relationship they have with the humans in their lives.

1. BASELINE
A reference point to physical and psychological health and behaviour. Week one is an overview and introduction into the program and the beginnings of getting to know your horse on a whole new level. We learn the methodology to measure and monitor change of your horse's physical and psychological health and behaviour over the coming 8 weeks.
2. ENERGETICS
Attuning to your horse’s energetic systems. Energetics is all about your horse and their energy systems. Here you will gain a deeper understanding into their life's purpose and how that connects with you. You will learn to scan then clear and balance any disturbances in flow of their energy for overall health and wellbeing.
3. INTROSPECTION
Understanding your role in your horse's performance, health and behaviour. To develop a deeper understanding and connection with your horse, it is key to learn more about your own inner landscape and how that affects your horse's health, behaviour and performance. You will not only become more aware of your own Self, you will learn how to clear and manage your energy for better focus and concentration for training, competition (and your everyday activities).
4. EXCHANGE
Learning Intuitive Interspecies Communication (IIC). You will learn the basics of how to communicate with your horse during this week. That is, asking them a question and receiving an answer. You will learn the 6 Steps to communicating with your horse, as well you will be practicing IIC with other participants' horses.
5. CONNECTION
Learning methodology for physical and emotional body scanning. You will discover the basics of Body Scanning (ie, scanning the physical and emotional bodies of your horse). You will begin to learn how the emotional body affects the physical body, where the problem may lie and how it feels for your horse. A group session practising on participants’ horses.
6. PERFORMANCE
Building the foundation to improve performance. Discerning what the current, ongoing or recurring performance and behavioural problems you are experiencing with your horse and what you are hoping to achieve in your partnership. Included in this week's group discussion you will learn how to use imagery and language to help your horse understand what you are asking of them in training, competition and your everyday life together.
7. PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
Practical solutions to calm anxious horses and manage bad habits. This week is a hands-on, practical session learning some of the (simple) solutions that are available to resolve behaviour and performance problems and further strengthen your partnership.
8. CONSOLIDATION
Bringing the puzzle together. The final session will be a review of the past 7 weeks' lessons to consolidate your learning and establish a rewarding equestrian experience going forward. We will take a look at what challenges and blocks may arise, we will dive into a Q&A session and finish with an end of program celebration.

For the past 10 years, she has been working intimately with thousands of performance horse riders, horse trainers, dog trainers and domesticated animal parents to build powerful animal-human connections that transform (both) their lives- through educational programs and trainings, through offering a deeper understanding of their animals’ health, behaviour and emotional state and through providing alternate solutions to sometimes complex issues that arise.
Humans are crucial to helping animals live the improved quality of life they desire and deserve but they need to be better equipped to do so. Through mentoring and training programs Rommie is committed to helping animal carers, minders and handlers to connect with and understand their animals at their most core level- to strengthen relationships, build trust, improve performance, support training and to nurture their inner spirit.
