I will be covering handling the rope on turns smoothly with the stick.

Finding the rope and reading in and out as needed so not to contradict your asks of the horse in training.

Understand how to hold and use the stick effectively when training. Getting fluent with your tools and flowing helping the horse learn.

Helping you create a rhythm and form a pattern, knowing how to hold the rope correctly and safely for different tasks when training.

Awareness in your body language whilst using the tools

Getting the spin and pressure release feel, slide and general feel with the rope and training stick.

This is a fun-filled, open to all. No horses involved. This is a practical hands-on clinic.

This is a great opportunity to get started with in-hand basics, learning to influence the horse efficiently with pressure. Giving you control with ease in all in-hand tasks.

I will be covering:

• Back up, halt, yielding to light pressure and flexions.

• Starting or making aids lighter allowing relaxed body control

• Improving manners and groundwork

• The horses response to pressure and willingness to the task in hand

Then moving into basic lateral work and sensitisation. Improving suppleness and shoulder control.

Always seeking lightness in halters first then bridle if appropriate.

This will be a progressive clinic...

You will leave with an understanding of the importance of the head and neck positions and how they affect the horses hind quarters, not only in dressage.

Herd Dynamics and how to read herd behaviour, How some training methods are based upon this. Therefore helping your timing and analysis when training with your horse.

How desensitising comes into altering a horse's instinctual responses. The hows and why it works when finished effectively.
