More info can be found on the symposium here: https://animalscience.cahnr.uconn.edu/horsesymposium/
9-10 AM Session 1: Groudwork for the Horse and Human (limited to 10 handlers) Sign up coming soon! - Bob is a firm believer in proper ground work to make the horse supple in every direction. We concentrate on six body parts to move individually of the others, to maintain proper balance. When this is done from the ground first, it makes sense to the horse when mounted.
10-11 AM Session 2: Horsemanship 1 (limited to 8 riders) Sign up coming soon! - Equitation (Classic Dressage Principles) is designed to help people further understand how to get along with a thinking, feeling, decision-making animal. This is done through love, language and leadership. They are designed to help people increase their awareness level of what they see and feel and to improve their timing so as to better communicate with a horse. This is called feel, timing and balance.
11 AM -12 PM Session 3: Advanced Horsemanship 2 (limited to 6 riders) Sign up coming soon! - This class is for advanced riders to understand how to execute proper feel and to do all the correct movements of shoulders in, haunches in, side pass, half pass, full pass, how to execute proper lead changes and more.
