Finding the power through Straight Lines and Circles
Varian Equestrian Center
1275 Corbett Canyon Rd
Arroyo Grande, Ca 93420
Building your Horses Power through Riding Straight Lines and Circles
If you think of it…every maneuver you do with your horse is in combination of straight lines or circles (including a straight halt or sliding stop).
This is accomplished through the understanding of where the power in your horse comes from. This course will enable you to develop the understanding of a straight line and what varying diameters of circles feel like in order to maintain balance.
How to “steer” your horse by using the most subtle of cues.
The power comes from the hind quarters. You will feel when your horse is imbalanced during transitions which put your horse on the fore quarters.
You’ll learn through feel when your horse is imbalanced through turns on the Hind Quarters and Fore quarters.
Learning and observing in a group setting enables you to help support each other and observe /trouble shoot an imbalanced maneuver.
Clinic is limited to 8 riders
Cost for two days of coaching = $410.00
Overnight boarding is available
Overnight dry camping is available
Course cost is $410
Auditors are welcome $45
