The horse sound in mind and body, naturally!
VifArgent offers unique services to the equestrian world, aiming at educating horse owners in the natural care and handling of horses.
Geneviève Benoit has dedicated over 20 years to teaching horse lovers how to optimize their partner’s mental, emotional and physical well-being while respecting the true nature of the horse.
My purpose is to help people who truly love horses, and who want their horses sound in mind and body, learn how to build a strong partnership with their horse. To empower them to read their horse, understand their horse, and develop their horse, while always putting the relationship first. To support the personal work that real horsemanship requires, because being excellent with horses is about who we become, not just what we do. To teach an approach built on mutual respect, confidence, shared communication, and benevolent leadership the horse chooses to follow. To meet each human where they are and each horse where they are, and to help them grow from there.

Why VifArgent?
Vif-Argent
An ancient French word used to designate mercury (from the latin argentum vivum, live silver or quicksilver)
Why VifArgent? VifArgent is an ancient French word that used to designate mercury. Mercury is a very shiny, white metal with a density of 13.6; it is liquid at ordinary temperatures, solidifies at 38.87°C, and boils at 356.58°C. Hg represents it in the periodic table. It is used to fabricate physics devices such as barometers and thermometers and to extract gold, with which it readily bonds to form a composite. It is highly conductive of heat.
In Greek and Roman mythology, Mercury (Hermes for the Greeks) is the god of travellers and merchants. He is a god with winged feet who carries messages from other gods. He also guides the souls and takes them through the doors of the realm of the dead. His attributes are the caduceus (symbol of the healer) and Pegasus, the winged horse, who is his companion.
Mercury is a symbol of intellect, communication, movement, and transportation.
In astrology, Mercury is the planet associated with Gemini who are often defined by their intelligence, communication gifts, versatility, quick minds, curiosity, and playfulness. Gemini rule their world according to their intellect and mental skills, and by using their ability to adapt quickly and easily.
