A lot of issues that we struggle with under saddle with horses stem from tension and stress. Horses who are heavy and run through the bridle or have difficulty settling into a rhythm are likely struggling with tension.

This webinar will go over addressing common behavioural problems such as horses who are heavy in the bridle and lean on the bit, horses who are hard to slow down and resistant to transitions or otherwise struggling to relax under saddle and soften into a correct frame.

We will discuss common causes of tension and stress in horses under saddle and go over a number of different avenues you can take to solve such issues.

This webinar will discuss ways to address horses who are strong by using negative reinforcement and/or positive reinforcement.

We will go over specific exercises that you can do with your horse to help to address these problems and tactics you can use to help your horse both on the ground and under saddle.
