OBJECTIVE H0ORSEMANSHIP
Goal Oriented Progressive Training for all Disciplines
Utilizing Trail Obstacles, Poles, Patterns & Visuals
Creating a Positive Progressive Path to Successful Mutual Communication Understanding & Respect
Being able to read horses and teaching them to read you, is one of the greatest skills a horseman can achieve. It tells you what approach you need to take, helps you resolve problems quickly and safely and allows you to make necessary changes in your daily sessions by assessing a negative reaction and turning it into positive learning and understanding. Almost every negative situation can be quietly and efficiently resolved by adjusting toward the positive, without needing to punish your horse, but by showing him the right way or by showing him another positive method of attaining the same outcome therefore setting your horse up for success rather than failure. By using your voice as well as body language to help him understand what is expected from him you both will learn a vocal as well as a physical language, using your voice as a reward to let your horse know when he has responded in the right manner, and as a reprimand, letting him know when he has reacted in the wrong manner. Horses respond to and enjoy vocal praise. When you are reading your horse, you can see the joy in their expression when they know they have done a job well.
We will also be developing powerful strategies for building confidence and overcoming fear in both the horse and rider and using Showmanship and lunging, each step progressing to success under saddle. You will never gain respect under saddle until you have first obtained respect on the ground.
