Master Horse Trainer David Lichman will be appearning here on Sept. 6.
Lichman’s North American tour began Aug. 16 in Montana and will include eight stops before he heads off to Australia. At every stop he will be raising funds for several equine therapeutic facilities by giving performances with his three personally trained horses. The show has received wide media attention, “delighting audiences with spectacular shows,” which support local causes, states a press release from Equine Guelph.
Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door (children 12 and under free). Fifty per cent of all gross ticket sales for the performance in Rockwood will be donated to Equine Guelph, a not for profit organization serving the horse and its industry through education, research, healthcare promotion and industry development.
The event runs from 7 to 9pm at Northfield Farm, 8368 Hwy. 7, Rockwood.
Improvisational show
Lichman’s show is improvisational. Although there are specific things the horses know, the horses have a say in what happens, depending on how they are feeling. The result is a display of affection, bonding and respect. By asking instead of telling them to do things, Lichman puts his relationship with the horse above all else
“I try to help people to connect with horses so that it’s fun for both the human and the horse,” said Lichman.
