I am able to incorporate all of the knowledge
and experience I have gained over the
years to finally be able to offer clients a fun way of training for both
horse and rider.
I use many aspects of Alexandra Kurland's equine
clicker training system and I also use James Shaw's Ride From Within training system in my teachings. I am also able to include
the knowledge of my traditional and classical dressage training. Plus
knowing how the musculoskeletal system works from my bodywork training. This depth of knowledge I have enables the
horse and owner to achieve the correct training for the horse.
I
am blown away everytime I go to see a new horse and owner and see how the horse
changes before my eyes and how much fun both horse and rider are having.
Clicker training for horses is a POSITIVE training method that creates happy, enthusiastic and responsive horses.
I use horse clicker training to train: Groundwork to Collection Backing Youngsters Re educating Horses Behavioural Problems
Horse clicker training can be used with all disciplines of horsmanship.
Horse clicker training is a fast and effective way of training.
Over the years I have followed many ways of training and I have now found a way to allow the horses I train to: learn to think for themselves, be very expressive, improve balance, improve suppleness, very responsive, and to really enjoy their training
James Shaw's Ride From Within Few
forms of exercise or cross-training are better suited for equestrians
than Tai Chi and its companions, Qi Gong and Laingong. These ancient
forms of Chinese arts, with their emphases on subtle, precise and
almost invisible movements, are more like dance than defense. Balance,
coordination, strong supple muscles and mental focus are the key
elements in Tai Chi. Based in Chinese Sports medicine, Laing Gong is a
set of therapeutic exercises for preventing and healing physical
ailments. Qi Gong exercises are designed to align and promote internal
energies.
Tai Chi is very much a whole-person discipline.
It requires harmony between body, mind and emotions to keep focus and
energy flowing. That's why it is called an internal art. Equestrians
who use Tai Chi are able to identify and correct structural
misalignments and unnecessary use of force that distract or impel the
horse's ability to carry out movements.
