Your instructor Mandy Pretty, will guide you through an introduction to the revolutionary TTouch method of handling horses that is one of cooperation, understanding, and positivity that can be applied to any horse you interact with.
Mornings will consist of learning a new way of understanding and communicating with horses in a safe, gentle, and effective way Begin with learning the implications of body language and habitual tension patterns on the ground and in the saddle and how to become more effective within your own body while understanding horses in a whole new way.
This will set the foundation for learning the non-invasive yet powerful TTouch bodywork, a series of gentle movements of the body and tissue that is easy to learn and can be used to release tension, improve overall health, assist first aid, and build trust.
Taking the relaxation and awareness achieved with the bodywork, learn the low-stress, non habitual groundwork techniques that help to change horse´s postural patterns to ones that are healthier for heir body and allow for optimal movement. These leading, positions and exercises help to build confidence, self control, coordination and flexibility.
To help to enjoy your time in the saddle even more, this week will include and introduction to Connected Riding exercises from the ground, to give riders the ability to use their bodies most effectively, with the least amount of stress. This improves mobility, reduces tension and helps the rider move in freedom with their horse.
Take the afternoons to enjoy the beautiful countryside on wonderfully trained old Spanish Criollo horses at the Pacific Coast and in the countryside and relax with delicious food and great company in a wonderful beach hotel.
