About the Event

Limited to six horse/rider pairs.

- Each individual session includes an evaluation of the horse's posture/ movement and some supervised riding focused on rider relaxation and connection with their horse.

Auditors participate in all the mini-lectures and discussions. Occasionally, auditors may be invited to participate in some "hands-on" when discussing a particular aspect of the particular horse in that session.

Students will:

- Learn about neutral pelvis and posture.

- Discover the differences between men and women riders.

- Define rhythm, tempo, and length of stride.

- Feel horses’ movement through a stride sequence.

- Develop skills to influence rhythm.

- Gather exercises to build rhythm and trust with your horse.

- Learn why relaxation is a building block for your horse’s success.

- Examine the gateways to physically and mentally supporting the horse to find relaxation and enhance learning.

- Observe physical elements of relaxation including the: tongue, hyoid, TMJ, atlanto-occipital joint and dental mechanics.

- Discover why jaw releases and lateral flexions at the AO joint are beneficial and how they work.

- Learn about rider rotation.

- Look at how bits can help and/or hinder the relaxation process.

- Leave with an understanding of how horses bend.
