WHAT THE HORSE TOLD ME Volume Two: WHAT'S NEXT?: Take your riding and Connection with your horse to the Next Level

This book is for the horseman or woman who is ready to take their horsemanship to the next level. This book offers little-known information about the horse. It presents time-tested methods for removing resistance and braces in the horse so that everything we do can become easier for both horse and rider. Within these pages are the building blocks for both horse and rider to help us communicate more clearly. And how to combine and use those basic movements to move into more complex maneuvers.This is Volume Two, where we go further in-depth. Learn to move the horse's hindquarter, which lengthens the outside shoulder and creates a lateral arc from the withers to the top of the tail. That arc builds a relaxed and willing frame in the horse's body. From that critical beginning, we learn to develop that same frame in the horse while riding. This is your opportunity to learn how every one of the maneuvers we do with a horse can and should be related as they develop a natural flow in movement.With step-by-step instructions, photos, and loads of illustrations, learn how Vaughn gets consistent lead departures and precise flying lead changes. Learn to lock in spins and circles, build spectacular sliding stops, and much more.By working with the design of the horse in mind, we can use the horse's biomechanics to create willingness and a mindful, focused partnership. Vaughn Knudsen's focus is Reining Horses, but the same principles and approaches benefit all horsemanship disciplines. Compass Horse Training is an easy-to-follow method of communicating clearly with the horse based on the design of the horse, both inside and out. These horse training techniques work because they make sense to the horse. Read more
