As you move from step to step it is important for you and your horse to be confident.

Even if you have an educated horse going through all the videos and checklists will help build your relationship and improve your horses range of movement not to mention some fun as you complete a whole list.

Main goals for each checklist:

Halter training- Teach your horse to follow a feel and think its the way through tasks, have a positive attitude and give things a try even if they are unsure.

First bareback rides- To build your horses confidence with someone on their back and to follow a feel of your reins and your body.

First saddled ride- To build confidence with a rider at faster gaits and to develop confident, relaxed forward.

Impulsion Groundwork checklist- Groundwork to develop communication and tasks to get your horse using its back before you get on. Range of movement.

Impulsion Ridden checklist- Riding tasks using the southern cross pattern to encourage your horse to use its body balanced through turns and transitions.
