Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th March 2012
Gisborne, Victoria
This clinic provides insight and techniques into creating respect with your horse quickly.
You will be amazed out how fast you can gain control of your horse. Your horse will have a shift in attitude and decide to follow you more willingly.
You will learn how horses communicate with each other and how to reflect back that communication system to gain cooperation.
Your confidence will soar as you will learn what to do and how to position yourself with your horse to control unwanted or unexpected behaviour.
You will learn to make decisions before you are with your horse so that you can deliver clear and precise messages.
At the clinic, you will discover the importance of C.I.P. and
how “OOP's" will have a whole new meaning in your life.
You can learn more about ground control on my ground control page but for a start, two of the exercises you will learn at this clinic are discussed in this video clip:-
