The relationship between a rider and his horse is based on a subtle alchemy, often put to the test by emotional and behavioral misunderstandings. To meet these challenges, the Étik'A method, created by Cécile Bitton-Duris, offers an innovative approach. Based on kinesiology, it explores the emotions, needs and behaviors of horses and riders, thus strengthening their harmony.


In this article, we discover how this method is revolutionizing the human-horse relationship through unique techniques focused on physical and emotional well-being.


What is kinesiology and its role in the rider-horse bond?


Kinesiology is a holistic discipline that relies on muscle testing to identify and treat physical, emotional and energetic imbalances. Applied to the equestrian field, it becomes a powerful tool to understand and resolve tensions that affect both the rider and his horse.


In the Étik'A method, kinesiology helps identify the root causes of stressful behaviors, whether in the animal or its human partner. By working on the bodily memories of both parties, this approach offers a lasting solution to restore emotional and energetic balance.

The techniques used in the Étik'A method


The Étik'A method is based on several complementary techniques:

  • Energy and body tests : these tools allow you to detect emotional or physical blockages.

  • “Touch for Health” kinesiology protocol : developed by John and Matthew Thie, it is adapted to humans and horses to restore their well-being.

  • Personalized coaching : each pair benefits from tailor-made support to work on their specific needs.


These techniques are combined in a way that creates an enriching and deeply transformative experience for riders and their horses.


The benefits observed in riders and their horses


The application of the Étik'A method brings many benefits, both for the horse and for its rider. Here are a few:

  1. Stress Reduction : Energy testing helps identify sources of stress and neutralize them. This promotes better relaxation in both the horse and its rider.

  2. Improved Communication : By learning to recognize the horse's emotional and physical needs, the rider develops clearer and more respectful communication.

  3. Harmony and performance : A confident horse and an emotionally aligned rider form a more efficient duo, whether for leisure or competition.

  4. Sustainable approach : Unlike purely technical methods, Étik'A treats the root causes of imbalances, thus avoiding temporary or superficial solutions.


By strengthening the bond between rider and horse, this method transforms the way they interact on a daily basis.


Testimonials and practical cases


The testimonies of participants in Étik'A workshops are numerous and eloquent. An often-cited example is that of Pauline, owner of an anxious horse who refused to approach other animals. After several sessions with Cécile, Pauline learned to identify her horse's unexpressed emotions and to work on her own emotional tensions. Result: her horse's behavior calmed down, and their work sessions became more fluid.


Other testimonies highlight the effectiveness of the method in situations of physical blockage or drop in performance, notably thanks to the contribution of body and energy tests.


Conclusion


The Étik'A method is not just a technique, but a true philosophy of connection and mutual respect between the rider and his horse. By integrating tools from kinesiology and focusing on the emotional needs of both partners, this approach revolutionizes the human-horse relationship.


For those looking to transform their equestrian practice or simply strengthen their bond with their horse, Étik'A represents a solution that is both modern and deeply human.
