A garrocha is a 12-13 foot long wooden pole, that is traditionally used in Spain when herding bulls.

Now most of my student have zero intention of herding any bulls!

However, riding with the garrocha has helped many of my students to improve their posture and balance in the saddle. It also helps riders to develop smaller cues, improve their rein handling and dramatically improve their balance when riding their horses. And i works beautifully, no matter if you ride in an English, Western, Dressage or Aussie stock saddle!

This program is suitable for any rider who can walk, trot & canter their horse. All of the garrocha exercises in this program are done in walk. (You can welcome to repeat them in other gaits once mastered in walk). Steve starts from the very beginning, from where to buy your first garrocha, to introducing the garrocha to your horse for the first time. It also includes many step by step groundwork exercises you can do to help you hose get used to the garrocha. 

While you can get a professional wooden or fiberglass garrocha online, many of my students have got started with garrochas bought for less than $20. You have lots of options, from retractable window cleaners under $10 in Lidl/Aldi to a long bamboo garden pole you can find in many garden centres. 

Yes of course! Steve is hosting four online live coaching calls during April and May 2021. You can pre-submit your horse questions & also ask them live with Steve, whichever you prefer. All calls will be recorded & Steve will schedule these calls at various times so they will suit you, no matter what country you live in. 

That is why we offer private video coaching! You are invited to send in one video anytime up to six months from when you bought this course, to get Steve's help & advice. The garrocha lessons in this program are broken down to a very 'step by step' process, so you may be surprised how far you can progress by listening to the feedback from your horse and your own body as you work through these exercises from the easy to understand demonstrations in the videos.

The answer to this is “it depends.” Results will vary according to many factors, including your current riding & posture habits. It is not uncommon to notice a big difference in your horse’s responses and softness & your balance in only one session, and more notable results may be evident after a few sessions or a few weeks.

The DVD will be shipped to you a few days after your purchase. All DVDs ship from the USA. Please allow 28 days for it to arrive. You also get online instant access to the entire course. Note some countries have postal restrictions or delays in place due to coronavirus. DVD shipping to Australia is estimated currently to be 4-6 weeks from the USA. This may impact delivery times. 

Yes, we have both NTSC and PAL formatted DVDs. We will send you out the DVD that works best in your country.

We believe in quality, not quantity. And luckily, so do our horses! So if you can spend 1 or 2 fifteen minute sessions (a mixture of groundwork & riding) with your horse each week - that sounds perfect. Plus with our thoughtfully designed ‘small chunk’ garrocha lessons, you’ll always be able to have fun with your horse!

No problem. It's a great time to stay inside and watch this program, improve your horsemanship & get ready for the warm weather to arrive! The first few modules include garrocha handing exercises that you do without a horse being present. There is also a full section on groundwork exercises you do with your horse to get them used to how a garrocha will work. So there are lots of lessons to do,without needing to ride your horse straight away. 

All of our online training lessons are available 24/7 & you can watch them anytime.
