Ground Driving Weekend

 

GROUND DRIVING WEEKEND

Ground driving is a useful tool for all horse owners to master. It can be helpful when preparing young horses for their first time rider, by teaching them speed and direction and incorporating leg aids.

Witness how your horse learns to accept the lines and educate himself – as he becomes light and responsive to the walk, trot canter or lope. Watch how the inner balance develops without him leaning or pulling on an outside source. It is also a wonderful tool to exercise your horse and teach him rhythm and balance while developing muscles for maximum collection. You will learn how to incorporate your body language to gain impulsion and communicate necessary signals. You will also explore how your body can be effective when free-schooling your horses while creating a 2-way communication system. There will be exercises to help you develop your timing skills and we will discuss problem solving issues that could be encountered.

"I have worked with many different clinicians and what struck me most about Anna Twinney was her ability to talk her students through any problem they experienced with the horse. Many clinicians take over from their students when a problem arises with a horse, but Anna, an incredible horsewoman, is also an extraordinary teacher. She is able to see the entire situation and articulate the necessary steps to allow her student to resolve the situation. The student is empowered by seeing the experience through, and Anna facilitates it by her exceptional understanding of horses, humans and how they relate to one another. I truly believe she is one of the finest teaching whisperers today. She is tireless, patient and meets each student where he is on his individual journey. Taking a horsemanship, animal communication or Reiki clinic with her will change your life unquestionably."
