In any discipline, to be great you must first master the fundamentals, and this course is full of them!
By combining Course 1 & 2 topics, this course has helped both beginners and high level riders fine tune their communication, raise their connection and advance their horsemanship, at any level.
By far the most important course you will take, and one to review throughout your horsemanship journey!
