Sorry Registration is now closed for the Building your Horses Confidence
This FREE video course shows Steve Halfpenny from Light Hands Equitation work with Lakota, one of his horses that can become really troubled if he is exposed to new things or moved away from his paddock mates. Steve starts on the ground to build a connection before moving on to riding and continuing to build the connection and confidence first in his comfort zone, then the arena, and finally out on the trail. We finish up taking Lakota over to our mountain trail course were we use the obstacles to help him think about where he is placing his feet and as a result shifting his mind back to a more calm thinking state.
