Course 3 (HHC3)
Prerequisite: ROTH Holistic Horsemanship Course 1

HHC3 is the conclusion and culmination of everything students have learned in HHC1 and, for some, HHC2, in addition to some fine-tuning of more advanced material. HHC3 is where students address problem areas and solidify their learning to see just how much of the learned information they have retained and can adeptly apply on both the written and practical final exams.
In this twelve-day course you will practice the following:
- Speaking the full language of the horse – body language, energy, telepathy
- De-sensitizing horses to unusual objects, touch & sound
- Problem solving techniques
- Free-schooling and ground driving practical applications
- Socializing horses

Successful graduates of HHC3 will have made a fundamental shift in the way they approach everything with horses. It is transformative not only for the horse, but for the human as well.
