Open a new browser window and do an internet search for “whitelisting instructions for___________” = add your email client (Gmail, Hotmail, SBC global, Microsoft Outlook, etc…). Here is an article for reference that may help.

Help! I cannot access my programs inside the Membership Site. What can I do?

If you are able to login but only see your programs as locked icons, the first step is to try a different browser and clear your browser’s cache and cookies. We recommend using Firefox or Chrome. If you clear your browser’s cache/cookies – make sure to ONLY clear your cache and cookies, not passwords or browser history – and are still having trouble, contact us immediately so we can find the glitch. Make sure to let us know the full name and email address used to open you account, and what programs you should have access to.

Some of the content in my membership site dashboard is locked. How do I get access to it?

Thanks for asking! If you are an Introduction to Relational Horsemanship membership customer and you see locked icons, it means your subscription level does not include that content. In order to gain access, you need to upgrade to a Master Course or Mentorship subscription. You can do that from  your subscriptions page. If you have paid for the series you do not have access to, contact us ASAP so that may investigate the possible glitch on our end.

I am having trouble joining the Live Weekly Webinar. Help!
We use Zoom for our live webinar platform. Here is their troubleshooting page. If you need further assistance, please let us know.
I'm a Master Course (or Mentorship) customer and missed the live webinar! Will there be a replay?

If you miss a live webinar, don’t worry! The replay will be made available approximately 48 hours after the live event and posted on this page in your Members Area where we keep the most recent three webinars. We send an mail notification out as soon as the recording is available. *Please note that if the webinar was a free webinar, recordings are not always made.

Who is Josh Nichol?

Josh Nichol is a world renowned horse trainer and teacher based out of Canada. He focuses on Relational Horsemanship, a style of horsemanship that allows you to see yourself through your horse and continues as you advance through the process. Mastery in horsemanship begins with a commitment to bettering ourselves! This starts with taking ownership and responsibility for our part of the story, thus interpreting the horse’s actions and performance differently.  When we are aware of – and work on developing – our side of the relationship, we truly facilitate not only growth in our horses, but growth in ourselves.  Good horsemanship challenges everything about our inner person.

What exactly is included in the Mentorship membership level? How is it different than the Master Course?

Thanks for asking! The Mentorship level memberships include weekly live and recorded webinars with Josh. During live webinars, you can ask Josh questions and work on your horsemanship. You will also have access to two 1-1 private sessions with either Josh or a JN Advanced Instructor (depending on your Mentorship subscription level) that are scheduled using the instructor’s calendar link at at time that works for you. The difference is that the Master Course does not include the private 1-1 sessions and extra email support. As soon as you become a Master Course or Mentorship level member, you will have access to the archives of the past webinars so that you can review the material at any time.

What do I do if the training video won't play or stops in the middle?

You might try using a different browser. We recommend using Firefox or Chrome. Another possibility is that your device or video watching software on your device (like Adobe Flash) might be due for an update. Also, make sure to clear your browser’s cache and cookies and then restart your browser.

How can I apply to be an affiliate?

Thanks for asking! Go ahead and send us an email with the subject line “Affiliate Inquiry” letting us know why you’re interested, where you’re based out of, your best contact information and time to call, and your website URL, and we’ll get back to you asap.

How can I train with Josh directly?

As you can imagine, Josh’s time is in great demand, so he has created this virtual model in which you the student can maximize your time with him throughout the year to work on and refine your relationship with your horse.
