When I say "𝘪𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵, 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵" what I'm talking about is the mental and the physical "self carriage" inside the horse's responses.

💡 BUT what does LIGHTNESS mean to you? Is it the same as SOFTNESS?

We often hear that the Academy for Classical Horsemanship offers depth, but it's the support system that truly accelerates the journey. Don't just take our word for it—hear from our members!

👉 Alison K in Delaware, USA, says the Academy is "way beyond what I would have expected":

"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥...

👉 For Alex W in Western Australia, it was about knowledge leading to connection:

"𝘐𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵.
