So how to do in hand that works for you and your horse. I'm
going to discuss today my proprietory in hand methodology
that's helped me, it's helped a lot of my students. And it's
helped them to basically help themselves and help their horses
to say sound healthy, and also to make progress at the same
time.
So this enhanced methodology works with all breeds of horses,
it works of all breeds of people, all right, all sizes,
you can be small, you can be big, if you want to improve your
relationship with your horse, you want soundness for your
horse. So basically, it's used for whatever you want to do with
your horse. This is a simple framework that I've developed
over probably four decades of working with hundreds and 1000s
of horses over that time, I've learned personally from myself,
and from watching my students. And one such instance was a
spinal injury that I had, and I wanted to heal from that injury
completely. So I had a lot of horses in my own personal
laboratory that I worked with, and I came up with this
framework, it evolves with you and your horse as you go through
because you are going to evolve the one thing you don't want to
be stuck in a place where you have something that you're
working with and you can't evolve with it or it doesn't
evolve with you basically in hand is a way to do things with
your horse that speak to your horse's body and speak to your
horses mind. Some systems, you have only talked to the horse's
mind. Other ones are mostly focusing on the horses physical
state. So it's important that when you're working on hand, you
have a method or a system that works with both because they're
interconnected. Now let's go into my framework. Number one,
is that you need a way to convert visual to kinesthetic
Are you a visual learner as a writer, do you see things and
that's how you learn best. We are visual human beings, we see
our horses, how they move, changing that visual to
kinesthetic can sometimes be very challenging, you need to
experience it. And you need to learn how and so that's what I
do in my program, we first show you how to easily convert the
visual to a kinesthetic and we start by showing you exactly
what to do, what to feel for what to look for first in your
horse, what's happening, and then what to look to feel for.
Then we go to more concentrated tools like a bridle. And we do
the same process where we convert your visual to your
kinesthetic when we're writing is that not completely
kinesthetic, a tiny bit of visual but you know you don't
look down at your horse all the time, right, you're all the time
feeling with your seat with your legs with your hands. You are
all the time in the kinesthetic area. So if you don't know how
to convert your visual to kinesthetic, it's going to be
very difficult. Alright, number two is to find the best way
biomechanically biomechanically for us as writers and
biomechanically for your horse, there is a best way. And in my
program, that's what I teach. First off is I teach the rider
how to find your unique way of moving away that shows the
riders body, how to have ease, how to find their place of
power, how to use the place of power and how to have tools to
come back to that when it gets lost.
I developed this because of my back injuries that I had, I was
basically flat on my back couldn't even feed myself and
that taught me a lot about the spine as a rider and the
rehabilitation of that. And I've also rehabilitated hundreds of
horses along the way. So as a rider, we need to find our most
ideal place and that's the place where we have the most results
from the least amount of effort. So now once you as a rider have
that, then we go to the horse so we show you the best way that
your horse has its unique movement, and yes, every horse
has unique way of moving everything is individual to each
person, each horse so we show you how your horse is moving and
what is their ideal way of moving so they can get the most
results out of the least amount of effort. Now we're going to
talk about number three, which is melding the two Have them
together. So this is where you have you as a rider, you have
your power position you are connected, you have what I call
the slide points and the spiral that are working very
efficiently for you. And then we have your horse who is also
working very efficiently, and we meld the two of you together. So
you can move with lightness, and with elegance. And with the
greatest amount of results. But the least amount of effort,
you're using your body to invite your horse's body to join you.
And this is a great myth about writing is that it's all aids,
right? You do something your horse responds this way. And
this is what you're looking for, not with what I'm doing. It's
about you inviting your horse to dance with you. So you have your
power place, and you know how your body moves, and then you
invite your horse to dance with you is not just mechanical. It's
about mind body, emotions, and energy. And this is what I teach
in my program. So I have a free webinar for you. If you'd like
that free webinar, it's all about what I've just talked
about here. It's a training for you that will tell you more,
teach you more about this type of work that I'm doing in my
program. So you can find out more about how you can ride with
ease and flow with your horse without paying extraneous effort
and without a bunch of exam aspiration and frustration so
you feel like quitting. So thanks so much for being here.
It's great to have you and I will see you next time. Bye for
now.
