3 Day Handling and Ridden course
Wednesday 23rd - Friday 25th September

This course is aimed at linking ground work to ridden work, but about 70% of work is done in the saddle.
 
 
  The things that the group wanted to cover where, schooling issues such as correct canter leads, despook work, quicker responses to the aids, ground work and some introduction to jumping.
 

Day 1.…..Max will start off asking you to write out your goals and what you would like to achieve from the four days and any future goals you have. The rest of the day will then be in the school where Max will assess your skills on the ground and will want to see you ride your horses so that he can see what is going on and any problems you man be having. Max may even sit on your horses so that he too can get a feel of what you are feeling.

In the afternoon you will start working your horses on the ground laterally and put the controls in place that you are going to need for the ridden element of the course.

The next two days will then be planned around the goals that you have written down for Max so each course can be very different as it is tailored to the horses and riders on the course.

On the first course we could see that one or two people where wondering how all the work they were doing related to their goals, but on the fourth day when everything started to come together it made sense and they couldn’t believe how their goals where within a cats whisker and that they had in fact been working towards them without really realising it.
