Wild Horse Lessons
A Deep Dive into Connection, Communication and Relationship

Picture
The real reason we ride goes far beyond the thrill of being astride a powerful and beautiful horse. 

The true thrill of riding comes in connecting with the horse, in feeling they understand what we are asking, and that we can understand them.

​In a word, it’s the relationship. 


In Wild Horse Lessons, we'll take a deep dive into communication and relationship with horses...
First, through a short course from one of my mentors and then in a live class together, looking at my videos of wild horse bands to learn the subtle language and behavior of our horses.

In this New Early Bonus, you'll discover:
  • How to use body posture and energy to communicate with a horse
  • How to read the horse’s emotional and physical state
  • What to do when you feel ignored or even threatened by a horse
  • How to use pressure without even touching the horse
  • How your own emotions affect the horses you are with

Seeing the horse, creating connection, and building relationship is what I am truly passionate about, and what I look forward to sharing with you through the new deep dive bonus - and throughout the entire Balanced Riding program!

For the first time I offer this extra class, I want to go through with a smaller group, so this will only be available for new students who join the Balanced Riding Course early.

Why Now is a Great Time to Join the Balanced Riding Course

All of our lives have been affected by the current world situation. There is so much uncertainty right now. Some people are out of work, others are busier than ever, and everyone’s life has changed in some way. 

If you can’t ride - the Balanced Riding Course is much more than just what to do on the horse. We go into understanding horse behavior, principles of good horsemanship, and the why behind the riding exercises.
This understanding sets you up for success in the saddle, so u
se the time you would have been riding to build a stronger foundation of horsemanship. Plus there are plenty of exercises you can practice at home! 

If you can ride - Awesome! I know those of us that have horses at our homes or are still able to go to the barn are very grateful for the opportunity to get out of the house and still be with our horses. The Balanced Riding Course will help you make the most out of this time, both on the ground and in the saddle.

WHAT'S NEW:
  • 8 Weekly Discussion Groups - this is more than Q&A, it’s a time to connect, share experiences, and better integrate what you are learning. (Plus you'll get a call every month through your Training Journals Bonus and ongoing support in the course comments.)
  • Practice At Home with Callie - each week I will give you a 5 minute exercise set to practice that week. 
  • Use your 6 Video Coaching sessions anytime during the next year - so no worries if you can’t ride and practice right now.
  • Paying it Forward - I get that this is a big investment right now. It might even feel selfish to do this when so many others are in need. I could say that finding joy in your days is the best starting place to helping others, but we wanted to go further than that. So for every full-price course enrollment, we are donating 5 bags of feed to a horse facility in need. (If you know of someone who needs this, send us an email at crktrainingvideos@gmail.com to nominate them.)​
  • Payment Pause - also, to ease your mind if anything changes in your financial situation, we started Payment Pause at the very beginning of the COVID crisis. This means you can stop your payments for two months, and resume later. No questions asked, just send us an email.

Achieve Your Riding and Training Goals 
Here are some of the common learning paths in the
​Balanced Riding Course ​that can help you

Retrain Your Seat and Ditch “Bad” Habits
If your goal is to develop the balance and skill to ride a specific gait, such as sitting trot or rising trot, or to finally get that feeling of being with the horse, the Balanced Riding Course will help you with specific exercises to practice.
Feel Confident and Secure Riding the Canter
The canter can be one of the most challenging gaits to ride. It has bigger movement and it’s faster! In the Balanced Riding Course, we will go back to your foundation to build the skills you need to canter confidently.
​Take Your Young or Green Horse to the Next Level in Their Training 
Not sure what’s next for your young or inexperienced horse? Create a plan for each step of their training. 
Work Through a Problem
Feeling stuck on a problem you just have not been able to work through with your horse, the horse behavior lessons and problem solving examples in this course will get you to the root of the problem and help you teach your horse a solution. 
Start Off Right with a New Horse and Build Confidence (Your + Your Horse's)
Get simple exercises to practice and clear principles to build a relationship and bond with your new horse right from the start.
Make Your Aids More Subtle and Effective 
Learn how to use your riding aids of seat, leg, and hand more effectively so your horse can understand what you want and become more responsive.
