Winter Lecture Series: Starting Work Under Saddle

  • Narnia Stables 210 Wormwood Hill Rd (map)

Part 2 of 2 part lecture and demo series for the winter of 2020. This event will consist of both lecture and demo that addresses work in hand and transitioning to early work under saddle for the young horse or restarting the older horse. Topics included are development and when to begin as well as what expectations we can have of our horses based on conformation, breed and mental state. We will look at the importance of developing balance and correct bend as well as teaching the horse to search towards the hand in a forward, down, and out posture to develop a healthy and strong back that is able to support the weight of the rider. Registration for this event will open in December of 2019. Stay tuned.
