The horse
Objectives for the horse.
All work with horses is geared towards what is best for the individual horse, and in regard of their nature.
Basic groundwork
Handling, lunging, and work in-hand.
Lunging
To develop suppleness, strength, balance, and a good foundation for becoming a riding horse.
Over-the-back training
Starting with lateral flexibility, acceptance of the bit, and the ability to carry the rider in a correct tempo with balance and more throughness, all leading to straightness and collection.
In regard of their nature
All work with horses is geared towards what is best for the individual horse.
Through the high school
Development from the most important foundation, to create pure swinging gaits in the horse, through the high school work: piaffe, passage, changes of lead, and more.
The training pyramid: rhythm, relaxation, connection, impulsion, straightness, collection
