Who benefits?
Riders and trainers who have the buring desire to learn
more about their horse, and how to
apply the feel and release approach that Bill Dorrance (1906-1999)
recommends in the book that he and Leslie wrote, called
"True Horsemanship Through Feel".
(The book is now out of print, but some cases (16 paperbacks /case)
and individual copies of deluxe edition books signed by Bill Dorrance,
Buck Brannaman and Leslie Desmond are still available.)
Spectators at this event will also learn a LOT from watching the riders and trainers who
bring their Western and English horses to this course.
Participants will learn how to prepare a horse -- of any breed or age, indended for any
purpose -- for the balanced maneuvers and excellent manners it should have at liberty, on
the lead & lunge line, and also under saddle.
Other topics of interest will include:
Teaching the horse to stand still,
to be tied,
to offer the hooves politely,
to accept the bridle and saddle,
to change posture at the standstill and while moving,
to make snooth up and downward transitions in a straight line,
to make smooth upward and downward transitions on a circle,
to back up straight,
to back up to the left,
to back up to the right,
to turn left with the hips and forehand,
to turn right with the hips and forehand,
and to understand how to use the widely misunderstood art of true collection to
advantage.
By the way, really, what is collection? Once could wonder.
And, why is so much importance assigned to this controversial posture and exercise?
One wonders about this, too.
Leslie will demonstrate and explain clearly, in detail, how to make best use of true
collection that is understood by the horse.
She will show you how to recognize the posture that identifies it, and how to make
best use of its various parts, aspects and potential for ultimate benefit and clarity to
the horse about the timing, placement and speed of his feet -- on the ground, and
under saddle.
No special equipment is required for this course.
Do you have a real problem with your horse?
Does your horse have difficulty understanding you?
Is the horse you are considering for purchase is the right one for you?
Consider inviting Leslie out to evaluate your horse before you list
your horse for sale, or consider a new horse for purchase
Riders and spectators will learn where to position themselves for best results: Meaning, where to stand and how to behave in a way that horses clearly understand.
Although Leslie's demonstrations and explanations are very precise; at this course
you will learn how to get the results that she does. During the weekend,
students will be taught how to educate and manage a horse using feel & release to
inspire the desired responses. Whether you come to watch or bring a horse to the
demonstration or private coaching -- you will be exposed to new ideas and
techniques that will lead you to some new and successful interactions with your
horse when you get home!

Once again, I look forward to see extraordinary Marwari mares, foals and stallions of
Mario Calcagno and Can Riu!
In one day -- whether you bring a horse or come to watch -- you will learn something
that you can start doing successfully at home with your own horse!
