EQUH 255 - Natural Horsemanship: Harmony With Your Horse II

3 Credit(s)

Entering into this course, a student should have a thorough understanding of and have competent abilities both on the ground and in the saddle. The student will advance the skills, confidence, and respect gained on the ground by creating a stronger lead rope-to-feet connection. In the saddle, the horse and rider will develop more emotional collection, improving impulsion, and self-carriage in all three gaits. The increased harmony between ground connection developed through increased harmony between the horse and rider will prepare them for the next level of refinement. In addition to mastery of the theory and ideology of natural horsemanship, students must also demonstrate their competency and mastery of covered techniques by their correct application of skills sets with their horse, both on the ground and under saddle. Students will demonstrate their understanding of course material via class participation, written field and research reports, and examinations.
