Who benefits?
If you have a buring desire to learn more about your
horse, and if you wish to learn how to apply the feel and release
approach that Bill Dorrance (1906-1999)
recommends in the book called
"True Horsemanship Through Feel"
this event is going to make a huge difference in your future relationships with horses!!
.
(The book is now out of print, but some cases (16 paperbacks /case)
and individual copies of deluxe edition books signed by
Bill Dorranceare still available.)
Trainers and riders will learn how to prepare a horse, of any breed or age
to have 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.
What is collection? Once could wonder. Leslie will demonstrate and explain thi tserm and the way she develops it a young or older horse.
Why is so much importance assigned to this controversial posture and exercise? 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 calrity 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?
Before you list your horse for sale, or consider a new horse for
purchase consider asking Leslie to evaluate the horse's suitability
for the things you want to do!
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 learn many useful ideas and techniques that clear the way for new and successful connections to enjoy with your horse when you get home!
