STAGE 3 - Advancing Horsemanship (8&9 November)
This is where it starts to really come together as you follow on from Stage 1 and 2.
Now that your horse is more confident and you have mutual respect it’s time to sharpen the yields and increase responsiveness. You will learn how to do this in a way that builds on his understanding and greatly increases his connection to you.
Learn how to increase or reduce your horses energy to the needs of the situation.
Learn everyday habits that create the consistency that is needed to develop the patterns of behaviour in your horse that makes him stand out as something special.
We will share with you little known exercises that have a great impact on your progression and performance.
With more challenges you will further develop your feel, timing and balance. The intangible things that make the biggest difference to your horse.
You will find that developing lateral movements are just a logical sequence and something that you and your horse are very capable of.
This stage helps to put together the buttons that you’ve been working on from Stage 1 and 2 and apply then accelerating your progress with your horse and your ability to develop others.
You go at the pace suitable for you and your horse with hands on help from 2 instructors!
Cost for each Stage is: $440
