An informative webinar for both coaches and riders with the aim of
developing the partnership between horse and rider. We will be covering the development, the challenges faced, and the goals of successful horsemanship. As human beings wanting to bond with our horses, we must use all our available skills: our senses, our intelligence, our physical body awareness and intuition.
Horses are better at doing this than we are, so there is a lot for us to learn from our equine partners. Historically, horsemanship is about developing mutual trust, respect and understanding and love: the foundations of a rock-solid relationship: Part 1: Equine Psychology (Understanding the horse) The horse's senses, primary responses and emotion Part 2: Training Psychology (Understanding yourself) The rider's communication, training and learning from past experiences. Part 3 Relational Psychology (Understanding the partnership) The goals, the development and the challenges faced in successful horsemanship

Liz chats to Sue about the effects of
bridle and bit choices on impulsion and movement, and why they can affect hind
limb engagement. What is the hyoid apparatus and why does it affect hind limb
engagement? Sue draws on her experiences from attending whole horse dissections
and feeling for herself what happens when the hind limb is flexed when different
bits and nosebands are fitted. With her extensive anatomical knowledge
particularly of the horse's head, she is able to discuss in depth the impact of
our tack choices.

Whatever level of rider, and whichever discipline, it is so important to make sure the rider's technique is correct in order to get the very best from the horse.
'Improvement is all about perfecting riding technique over time- there is no 'quick fix'; it takes months or even years to develop together with the horse as a partner, whether working with the novice rider just starting out, or an advanced rider wanting to improve.
This presentation looks in detail at the rider's position and aids, at small changes that can have a huge inspect on the horse's way of going.
