Download or read book The American Way of Training Hunters Jumpers written by Jessamy Rouson and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-16 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of showjumping and the American show hunter. This is an insight into a training system respected worldwide as "The American Way." In this book, I bring the reader through the very basics of riding and training a young horse and up through the eventual showmanship necessary within the competitive horse show arena. No book is able to replace the day to day attention of a knowledgeable and experienced trainer. However I believe this book shall greatly enhance the education of the inquisitive horse person and add new insights into the development of a fine show horse and a successful rider.All good training is a result of conveying a concept to a horse in successive degrees of complexity and rewarding each positive step profusely. A horse which is happy and enjoys his job will eventually be competing successfully within his compatible and respective division. The horse which is resentful of the rider and his job will eventually prove to be disappointing. The key to successful training is to present each training step decisively and compassionately, accompanied by generous praise and positive reinforcement at any sign of a positive response from the horse. Proper training technique and skill aside, I believe positive reinforcement to be the most significant and imperative step in the successful training of any animal. The Number One Rule in training is the horse always, always comes first. Horses are extremely generous animals - indeed the progression of mankind through the ages has been built on the backs and through the labor of many kind hearted horses. Those of us in the horse business owe the horses everything and should treat each horse with the respect and compassion one would desire for themselves - The Golden Rule.With young and inexperienced horses, less is more. By moving slowly and patiently in the beginning of a horse's career and building a solid foundation, one avoids time consuming setbacks. The rider and trainer are then able to move relatively quickly through a successful training program. If done properly, training the horse shall be fun and rewarding for both the horse and the rider. Enjoy!Jessamy Rouson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gentle ways to improve the horse’s core fitness while relieving pain related to conditions such as kissing spine. Every equestrian wants to know: what is the difference between the horse that “dances” when you are on him, and the one that doesn’t? According to Visconte Simon Cocozza, Trainer and Examiner for the La Fédération Française d'Equitation (FFE), it all comes down to the horse’s posture. The horse’s ability to use the powerful mechanisms already built into his body relies not upon the strength we can see on the outside but the strength on the inside. This invisible and complex arrangement of internal “core” muscles control the horse’s posture, suppleness, and agility. Their good condition is the key to the dance. Equine core muscles are very difficult to isolate with the traditional training techniques common to horse sports. However, by examining what we do with the human body when faced with a weak core, we can find new methods for conditioning these areas of the equine body. Cocozza has taken principles of the human practice of yoga and used them to develop novel ways of reaching deep within the horse’s body and: Gently “unlock” areas that may be a little “rusty.” Improve core fitness. And even relieve pain related to conditions such as kissing spine. In this highly illustrated book, he provides step-by-step instruction explaining easy mounted exercises that enhance the horse’s posture, and boost his confidence in his body and movement, making him easier to ride, and ultimately, the dance partner you’ve always imagined.

Download or read book The Compassionate Equestrian written by Allen Schoen and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2015-08-17 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This marvelous book, borne of a unique collaboration between Dr. Allen Schoen—a world-renowned veterinarian and author—and trainer and competitor of many years Susan Gordon, introduces the 25 Principles of Compassionate Equitation. These Principles, conceived by Dr. Schoen and Gordon, are a set of developmental guidelines, encouraging a level of personal awareness that may be enacted not only through the reader's engagement with horses, but can be extended to all humans and sentient beings he or she encounters. The 25 Principles share stories and outline current, peer-reviewed studies that identify and support methods of training, handling, and caring for horses that constitute a safe, healthy, non-stressful, and pain-free environment. Through their Compassionate Equestrian program, the authors encourage all involved in the horse industry to approach training and handling with compassion and a willingness to alleviate suffering. By developing deeper compassion for their own horses, and subsequently, all equines, equestrians transcend their differences in breed preferences, riding disciplines, and training methodologies. This leads to the ability to empathize and connect more closely with the “global collective” of horses and horse people. In doing so, a worldwide community of compassionate equine practitioners and horse owners will emerge, which will not only benefit the horses: People involved with horses are found in many influential segments of society and have the potential to affect wide circles of friends, acquaintances, and co-workers from every walk of life. These are simple changes any horse person can make that can have a vast impact on the horse industry and society as a whole.

Download or read book Brain Training for Riders written by Andrea Monsarrat Waldo and published by Trafalgar Square Books. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know there is an area of your brain known as the “Lizard Brain” that thinks only about the immediate moment and your means of survival? Yes, in certain circumstances, your “Rational Brain” can effectively “shut down” and you are at the mercy of a reptile ... dry-mouthed, sweating, queasy, unable to think clearly—even though you know better. When does the Lizard Brain run the show? It can happen in any number of unfamiliar, uncomfortable, challenging, or “stressful” riding situations. But here’s the thing: with the right kind of training, you can learn to manage the reptile within, which leads to greater confidence with horses, better riding performance, and ultimately, happiness at the barn, at shows, and everywhere in between. Andrea Monsarrat Waldo teaches you how to: handle uncomfortable emotions, such as fear, anger, anxiety, and embarrassment; hone your mental game and focus your riding time to get the most out of your hours in the saddle; care for your emotional injuries the same way you would care for an injured horse; and produce a state of “Focused Calm” and tap into the skills you have (whether you know it or not!) to ensure an outstanding ride.
