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!
