Please bring and use a snaffle bit for this session. Thanks!
FOCUS: We will be covering the BASICS of groundwork and riding! Participants will be learning how to improve communication and control with their horses on the ground as they work on the “five body parts” and the basic skills of moving forward, backward, left and right with minimal cues. Under saddle we will work on improving the “throttle control” and “steering” through a series of riding exercises.
This session is ideal for horses that are “new to you”, are project horses and for those who are new to the art of horsemanship.

RIDING PREREQUISITES (you will want to have done these things with your horse):
