Throughout March there is a host of fascinating webinars hosted by the team at HorseTribe.
On Thursday 3rd March at 7.30pm – Ali Wakelin will look at – Teaching your horse to be a good citizen
Is your horse a good citizen? The sort of horse people enjoy handling and hope to be allowed to ride?
So often in the horse world we see horses having to be led on an everyday basis in a controller head collar or bridle, horses that drag owners at speed towards the field, horses that won’t stand for mounting, horses that the farrier dreads. We also see horses ridden in strong bits, horses constantly nagged with the leg as well as horses that nobody dares to ride!
Owners often seem to accept these behaviors as “what their horse does”. I bring the news that these behaviours can be changed so your horse becomes a good citizen both on the ground and under saddle.
In this webinar Ali gives an introduction to how in simple, bite size chunks you can train your horse become a good citizen so you and your horse can enjoy time together.
Ali’s unique approach is based on the principles of Equine Learning Theory. Her methods are applicable to horses of all types and ages. This approach can be learnt by anyone who is prepared to be consistent and methodical in their interactions with horses. No special equipment or facilities required.
On Thursday 10th March at 7.30pm – Simon Cocozza will be answering your conditioning and kissing spine questions
Simon’s webinars are so popular, the HorseTribe Team don’t get to ask all of your questions, so this time they are dedicating the whole session to audience questions.
The author of the acclaimed book ‘Core Conditioning for Horses’, Simon has vast experience of helping horses to build their core strength so that they are able to carry us effortlessly and perform the tasks that we ask comfortably.
Building on this approach to core conditioning, Simon has developed an methodology to rehab horses with kissing spine to improve their posture and rid them of pain. His goal is to give every horse the chance to work happily and comfortably.
Simon will come prepared to answer your specific questions related to:
-How to improve the core strength of your horse
-How to perform core conditioning exercises in more detail
-How the comfort and performance of kissing spine horses can be improved
Get thinking of your questions! HorseTribe are taking questions before the webinar by email and on the night through the webinar Q&A function.
