Natural Connection Course
The Natural Connection Course invites you to deepen the bond between human and horse through natural communication based on listening, understanding, and body language. The course is personally led by Uri Peleg, a seasoned horse trainer with over 40 years of experience, who developed the method through daily, hands-on work with horses – in riding, training, and most of all, through observation and deep listening.
This course is ideal for, Horse owners, riders of all levels and anyone who’s never studied training – but feels it’s time to truly understand the horse.
Throughout the sessions, you’ll build practical tools to create a shared language between rider and horse – not through force or control, but through partnership, precision, and trust.

Are the courses suitable for all experience levels in riding and training?
The Natural Connection Course is open even to those with no prior experience in training or professional riding. It’s designed for horse owners and riders of all levels who want to deepen their understanding and connection with the horse through listening and hands-on practice.
In contrast, the Instructor Certification Course is intended for those who are already involved in teaching or training, and wish to professionally integrate the Natural Connection method into their instruction.
What’s the difference between the two courses?
The Natural Connection Course is a personal, one-on-one program that gives riders the tools to build a real, trusting relationship with the horse – through groundwork, riding, listening, and understanding the horse’s body language and reactions.
In contrast, the Instructor Certification Course is designed for trainers and instructors who are already teaching or coaching, and want to learn how to teach the method to others. It includes lesson planning, group practice, and adapting the approach to riders at different levels.
The certification also emphasizes professional responsibility, precision in instruction, and the ability to convey the spirit of the method – not just the technique.
Can I join the courses with my own horse?
Yes – you can participate in either the Natural Connection Course or the Instructor Certification with your own horse.
Working with a personal horse allows you to apply the course tools exactly where they’re needed most – addressing the existing habits, challenges, and the unique bond you already share.
That said, there’s also the option to work with experienced horses from the ranch, ideal for those who prefer to start with a calm, well-balanced horse that’s already familiar with the method.
The choice is made together with Uri during an introductory conversation, based on what truly suits you best.
How many participants are in each course?
Both courses are offered in a personal format – with one or two participants only. This intimate structure allows for a precise, relaxed, and fully personalized process.
The focus is on deep listening, observation, and attention to detail, which is why the teaching takes place in a setting that fosters genuine connection – both between Uri and the participants, and between the rider and the horse.
How do I sign up for the courses?
Registration is done directly with Uri Peleg – by phone or WhatsApp. After a brief introductory call, we’ll discuss which course is the right fit, and coordinate timing, pace, and style of work.
Uri builds each course around the individual in front of him – which is why the registration process itself begins with listening, making sure everything is truly tailored from the very first step.
Where do the courses take place?
Both the Natural Connection Course and the Instructor Certification Course take place at Ramot Ranch in the Golan Heights, in the heart of a wide, wild, and beautiful open landscape.
It’s not just a place for learning – it’s an essential part of the method itself. Training happens outdoors, in an environment where the horse feels natural and at ease, and the connection is built through movement, calm, and the surrounding nature.
Ramot is where this method was born and developed over the years, and you can feel it in every ride, every session, and every step along the way.
In certain cases, it’s possible to arrange for Uri to come teach at the rider’s location – depending on needs, on-site conditions, and what suits both the horse and the process.
