I care for my students

This course is for you

if you answer "yes" to these questions

Do you want to change the way your horse moves? Do you want symmetry, mobility, power?
Do you want to be sure of the training progression for In Hand work?
Do you feel lost in the many options for training a horse? Do you want a proven timeless way?
Do you want to learn about Vertical Balance? Are you ready to do things differently - to get something different?

This course is NOT for you

if you answer "yes" to these questions

Do you only want a quick and easy fix?
Do you instantly want to impress your audience and ego ?
Do you already have a method you are sure of and unwilling to give up?
Are you willing to sacrifice the horse for what you want?

If you choose this course and do the work...

... in 55 days you will have:

searched out and understood your horse's weaknesses and began to strengthen them - the way to symmetry
re-defined your horse's relationship to the bit - found softness and connection through the flexions
increased your horse's flexibility and mobility - the muscling of the neck, back and hindquarters will already be obvious
understood a number of important exercises and arena patterns - always know what to work on
and most importantly - joined the community of seekers of Vertical Balance. Our horses get better with time, more dependable, stronger and sound.
