Young Horse Training Course (Self-Study)

Young Horse Training Course – Self-Study Version

This 8-module course with Thomas Ritter takes you through the complete process of gymnastic training for younger and lower-level horses. The focus is on simpler arena patterns and foundational exercises, without the advanced movements found in our other programs.

This is an exercise-based course designed to develop balance, suppleness, and coordination in horses that are relatively green*. The exercises would also be highly beneficial for horses further along in their training who need a solid gymnastic foundation.

(* The minimum standard would be a horse that has been ridden off the longe line on a 20m circle and around the arena for a few weeks.)

As well as the ridden exercises, you’ll also learn some simple work-in-hand exercises to improve your horse’s understanding of rein aids, transitions, and sidestepping.

🐴 More than 50 exercises
🐴 Adaptable to any level of training
🐴 Most exercises can be ridden in all three gaits

"These courses address detail of riding instruction not even considered traditionally. They provide bridges between what you think you know over waters to cross you didn't even know existed & you'll be able to do so at your own pace having lifetime access to complete and review. Without a doubt you'll learn things you did not realise were missing from your riding education”  - Karen Veronneau
