In any discipline, to be great you must first master the fundamentals, and this course is full of them.
Combining Course 1 & 2 topics, this 2 day course has helped both beginners and high level riders fine tune their communication, raise their connection and advance their horsemanship.
By far the most important course you will take, and one to review throughout your horsemanship journey!
COURSE OUTLINE
- Learn to apply the Jonathan Field Horsemanship Training Scale™ with Path, Speed, Bend & Balance.
- Learn the riding/exercise circle and the 3 steps to cycle through.

- Find relaxation in movement with the "active neutral sweet spot".
- Learn a circle program under saddle to develop a comfortable canter through bend & balance.
- Begin leg yielding and learn how it builds to other maneuvers.
- Improve your lead departures and build a foundation for lead changes.
