Courses

Course 1 of 4 in the Rider Journey. Learn the method first, then learn the horse: anatomy, feeding, hooves, vital signs, grooming, saddling, and the after-care that finishes every ride. Start here even if you have ridden for years.

Course 2 of 4 in the Rider Journey. How a prey animal sees the world and how to stay safe in it: body language, the catch and the draw, leading, tying, bridling, and the round pen. This is the course that makes the other three possible.

Course 3 of 4 in the Rider Journey. The five ground manoeuvres that build a soft, thinking horse, and the pre-ride sequence you will run before every ride for the rest of your life.
