Art Of The Horseman - Online Horse Fair

23/11/2024

✨We’re excited to be sharing 40+ World Class trainers with you at the FREE Fair, and TODAY’s Presenter Spotlight is on...
Amy Skinner!
Here’s a small taste of what you’ll learn from Amy:

☆ Catching With Straightness in Mind - Did you know that your everyday moments develop a mind frame and build a postural habit for your horse? Learn how drive lines work, how to present yourself calmly and clearly, and how to keep your horse straight and connected during catching. Learn to understand from your horses perspective how catching affects their learning and their posture, and develop a better feel toward your horse.

☆ Haltering With Straightness in Mind - Everything we do affects ours horses mind and body. Do you tune out when haltering, and throw the halter over sloppily? It’s easy to develop mental and physical braces, and teach the horse to tune us out. Just becoming more aware of how we halter, and presenting the halter with better feel, can teach our horses to relax the neck and poll, to be straighter and happier, and to develop a better connection with us

Learn this and so much more from 40+ world class experts in 140 inspiring presentations at the October Horse Fair!

Horses are true masters of body language, deeply attuned to our intentions and energy. That means:
🐴When you’re nervous… your horse knows it!
🐴When you’re stressed… your horse feels it!
🐴When you play the dominance game… your horse will play too! 😳

But what sets a great leader and partner apart? Drumroll, please 🥁…

It's HOW you engage in conversation and make requests with your horse. 🤝✨

When your requests are infused with curiosity, play, positive interactions, and genuine intention, you’ll see amazing results:

✔️ More accomplished in less time ✔️ You and your horse finishing sessions feeling happy, confident, and clear

In Part 2 of our workshop, Jack shares powerful groundwork exercises with a twist. You’ll learn:

➡️ How to unlock your horse’s full potential by engaging their mind ➡️ Why adding fresh experiences boosts learning ➡️ The secrets to using body language effectively – a universal language for you and your horse

The Connection Workshop starts today! 🎉 Jack and I are sharing some of our favorite tools, techniques and troubleshooting tips to help unlock your true partnership potential with your horse.

👉 www.becauseofthehorse.net/free-video-workshop

If you've experienced these problems: Dull - Unresponsive - Spooking - Rushing - Trailer loading problems - Hard to catch - Hard to lead - Inattentive - Bucking - Bolting - Hard-mouthed - Behind the leg

Or maybe feel like something is missing but not sure what...

Or, you just know you want a better connection with your horse...
Here's the GOOD NEWS...

Connecting with our horse at the deepest level resolves most "training" problems and creates seemingly effortless results.

It's not magic although it can feel like it.

And it doesn't just happen without the right kind of approach - and practice.
But it can (and does) happen, with extraordinary results.

Connection is the FIRST thing we work on in all our training and coaching work with hundreds of horses and riders.

We focus on helping you get the most out of each training session with your horse, with connection and FUN at the forefront.

Jack Curtis shows how to create a deeper connection with your horse through the concept of a connected seat. By using subtle shifts in your body—your seat, hips, and posture—you can guide your horse through transitions effortlessly and smoothly, making your cues almost invisible.

Watch as he demonstrates how to encourage your horse to trot by sitting up and increasing energy and how to bring them back to a walk by simply exhaling and softening your seat. These smooth transitions are all about body awareness and positioning your weight in the right way, making your cues almost invisible to the outside eye.
