The Magical Connection - Liberty Work
If you have dreamed of creating a feeling of oneness with your horse - this is the place to start! If your dream is to have your horse come when you call, walk and trot at your side, freely with no ropes or halters, stop and turn and circle you - this is the way. Using the horse's language - body language, movement, touch and eye contact to build an enerrgetic, harmonious working relationship. Liberty work is like dancing, and this is the way to create a bond. See: youtube: Shaman at Liberty 2010
Developing your Seat/ Introduction to Riding
After you learn to connect and move in harmony with a horse on the ground, I like to start students on a lunge line. This way you can focus on your balance, your seat, and one by one begin to learn and understand the use of the aids. Riding well requires the use of your core muscels, and the use of your whole body. The last thing we add are your hands. This is what they do at the Spanish Riding School, and this is how you learn how to move with a horse.
Yoga for Horses
Is your horse comfortable to ride, or do you find his/her gaits jaring and hard to sit? Is your horse supple and relaxed, or does he hold his body stiffly or his head high? Does your horse bend going one direction but not the other? Are your transitions smooth?
There are specific exercises to teach your horse to be relaxed, supple, responsive and over time your horse will become forward and comfortable. This works on a physical, spiritual and emotional level with the horse, and you will see changes in all aspects or your relationship. This work uses a cavveson and is based on the writings of the Old Masters of Horsemanship.
