Sign up for the (FREE) Goldilocks Zone Contact Challenge here - On Day 3, we bring it all together and talk about what is meant by “correct, classical contact” as well as what it means for the horse to be “on the bit”. We will draw upon references from Day 1 and 2 to show you how you can see how the horse works as a complete system where the contact is a result of correct use of the hind legs and back. We also discuss how you can develop correct contact with your horse. If you have enjoyed these three days of trainings and would like to continue the learning journey with us, we would love to invite you to our Contact & Connection online course. We explain ALL the theory and biomechanics based on classical, CORRECT methodology. We provide gymnastic riding exercises that guide you through the process of developing correct contact. We include Feldenkrais lessons which address the important aspect of rider suppleness, strength, balance, and awareness. We also utilize imagery lessons that help you develop the right feel in your body. If you have loved sitting with us as we comment on these videos in the context of contact and connection, you will LOVE our brand new bonus called Contact Studio where we will be doing a LOT more of this and will even take your suggestions of videos to review.
