Foundations of Partnership: The 6 Essential Movements

 

The 6 Basics of Equine Movement: Where Every Great Partnership Begins

A Free Mini-Course

After years of working with horses and mules, I've become obsessed with one thing: the basics.

Not because they're simple (though they can be), but because every time communication breaks down, every time a challenge arises, I find the solution by returning to these 6 fundamental movements.

This free course reveals:

  • The 6 movements I teach first with every horse or mule
  • Why these movements are the foundation for everything from trail riding to advanced dressage
  • How to use them as a diagnostic tool when things aren't working
  • Progressive techniques from beginning through refinement

The 6 Essential Movements: Moving the Hind • Moving the Shoulders • Going Backwards • Going Forward • Moving the Poll • Moving the Ribcage

You'll get video demonstrations for both ground work and mounted work, practice patterns at multiple levels, and exercises you can use in your very next session.
