Build a magic bond with your horse:
Do you feel that your horse at times is unfocused, lazy or anxious and you feel the need to use force to get your horse “in place” – while what you really want is a partnership where your horse follows at liberty and can be ridden with light signals? Maybe even without reins!
Is your horse at times difficult to stop or hard in the mouth? But buying sharper bits and keeping a firm grip on the reins has not worked as planned?
A few exercises done in a mindful way, will solve these problems – while building a magic bond with your equine partner at the same time.
In this webinar Cathrine Fodstad, the founder of Ride Like A Viking, will give you an introduction of the basic groundwork you need to establish contact with the horse and be able to ride without rains.
You are the best trainer for your hors
When given the chance, horses can control themselves and form strong bonds with their owners. They are also capable of using their bodies in a functional way, with hind-leg engagement and a functional top line, without being micromanaged. If we just let them!
This is because the mind of the horse affects how they use their body. When their minds are happy and relaxed, their bodies take a functional shape with natural self-carriage and hind leg engagement, coming from self.
That`s why knowing a few simple exercises that strengthens your bond with your equine partner and allows your horse to be comfortable, makes riding a whole lot easier for you and much healthier for the horse.
Exercises that anyone can do – even adult leisure riders and kids! Maybe even especially leisure riders and kids, case horses enjoy the company of their owner the most and they also learn best in the comfort of their home surroundings.
