Are you curious about clicker training your horse but you're not sure where to begin? In this course, you will learn how to introduce the clicker and strategically use positive reinforcement in your training sessions. But even more importantly, you'll uncover the power of operant conditioning with horses and how it can transform your time together for the better.
Are you new to developing horses, or perhaps you were never taught about the classical principles of dressage? By the completion of this course, you’ll have a thorough understanding of the training scale and how it influences your work with your horse. As all of the great masters say, Dressage should be the foundation of everything you do.
Have you ever worked with a spooky horse who was unable to settle? Perhaps the horse did not have the tools and coping strategies to calm themself down, or maybe their body was too wired to relax. In this course, you are given groundwork exercises to teach your horse to regulate their nervous system. You will also receive suggestions on additional support that you can give to your horse in times of stress.
After just one session, you will feel confident to support your horse exactly where they are and where you want them to be.

Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough?
For years, I had convinced myself that I could never be an upper level rider because of my crooked body. Centered Riding gave me the tools to find not only better balance, but straightness, in the saddle, which in turn allowed me to be more effective for my horses. Once I could communicate effectively, it opened up the door of possibilities!
To All The Moms Out There -
I know it can feel like you’ve lost the earlier version of yourself. You might be tired, lacking strength, and dealing with immense physical changes, but know that working with horses is still available to you. Through short, yet effective, sessions, we can continue to establish your education base, and for those of you with your own horses, we can keep your horse supple and balanced while you continue to support yourself wherever you are. Give yourself grace and know that while you are putting your time and energy in to more things than ever now, YOU still deserve to fulfill your goals and dreams, too.
