Natural Dressage
The term "Dressage" often causes honest students of the horse to shy away from a path of learning which can be fun. "Dressage" simply means the harmonious training of the horse to develop strength, balance and grace and to BE happy doing it. The hard part for the human learner is to be able to call upon those beautiful natural movements one sees when the horse is at liberty exuding free will and exuberance. The true horseman can do this without force, manipulation and intimidation and not succumb to peer pressure, competition, fear of failure or discouragement.
So....here we are at the grass roots. BUT! We are already leaps ahead because we are students of Natural Horsemanship and WE have heart and desire to do this from the horse's point of view and WE will have fun doing it without confusing our partner too much!
Our Program will teach you:
• How to create a clear foundation using the principles of Natural Horsemanship
• How to develop control of your body through relaxation and the power of focus
• To understand that a horse is your mirror and will be able to follow a feel if we the rider can learn to let go and then be able to flow with the energy of the horse
We invite you to come to the ranch to see how classical principles of dressage can be incorporated into Natural Horsemanship with amazing results.
“
Horsemanship can be attained naturally through communication, understanding and psychology, versus mechanics, fear and intimidation.”
-Pat Parelli March 1982
