Bridleless Training is for the rider as well as for any breed of horse in any discipline. The important benefit of the rider's use of seat and leg aids is stressed, taking the emphasis off the hand aids which allows the rider to communicate more clearly with the horse. You become a more confident rider and improve rider balance problems caused by improper use of your hands. You'll learn to read your horse and understand where he carries his natural balance. This DVD provides excellent training techniques for older horses, for horses that have problems accepting a bit, and is excellent for horses that show signs of resistance as it provides a technique to get them to slow down and accept what they are doing. Using horses in different stages of training, Lynn demonstrates steps that must be followed and carefully evaluated before you advance. Ground training, numerous types of maneuvers, and many stages of training were involved in this unique bridleless training method. The final segment demonstrates the advanced horse, using Rugged Lark to show you the results of training through Love, Acceptance, Respect, and Kindness. This DVD can help you mark a new beginning in the relationship you have with your horse. However, always remember the many safety tips Lynn uses as an important part of all you do whether you are riding and or training.

It will also get him to relax his mind and body in all 3 gaits. You'll now work on lengthening and shortening your horse's stride. You establish three speeds in the walk, trot, and canter, that you can regulate without resistance from your horse. When he responds softly, remains relaxed and without resistance to the rider's natural aids, he is understanding what you want. You will promote bending to increase suppleness and flexibility, and you will also improve his balance by gaining better control of his body position. Transitions on straight lines, more advanced lateral training, and building more roundness in your horse's frame are all the beginnings to being On Your Way To Collection.

Why is the rider's form so essential to build a rider's skills? Because of relaxation and balance. A rider's position is not a molded form, set rigidly on a horse for the purpose of looking pretty. The rider must position his body in order to follow at all times, and without interference, the horse's every movement and reaction. Through the proper form, the rider can achieve a state of balance that will allow him to feel relaxed and in command of his body, and not interfere with the horse's balance and his responses to the rider. As you practice seriously to condition your body, and utilize exercises to become more supple and flexible, your form becomes centered, balanced, and relaxed. Most importantly, you can coordinate your body parts and mind independently. This is the first step in building articulate communication and willing responses from your horse. Dressage means training of the horse and of the rider to unite as one. It does not matter what type of saddle you use, or what breed of horse you train. If your challenge is to ride for exercise and fitness, ride for pleasure, for the discipline of the sport, or as a serious competitor, Respecting The Riders Form is the same in any discipline. This Part 1 DVD shows you a series of exercises for every part of your body. These exercises result in your understanding of Form to Function, making you an effective rider which leads to bringing out the best in your horse.

Basic Lateral Training, builds a solid foundation for achieving success at lateral work to improve the horse's self carriage and collection. You will use your aids with more lightness to control each part of the horse's body so he responds without force or resistance. We will troubleshoot potential problems and demonstrate how to solve them using Palm Partnership Training's gentle training techniques. You will learn how to correctly execute these building block maneuvers: Turn on The Forehand: teaches the horse to move away from pressure which is necessary for him to respond to the rider's leg aids. It also controls his forehand. Leg Yielding: teaches the horse to independently use and control his shoulders and hindquarters. Leg yielding is the basis for lateral movements required in trail classes, horsemanship / equitation patterns, dressage tests and flying lead changes. Yielding is an excellent exercise for muscle development and stretching. This is a great exercise during warm-up for both rider and horse.

Take the Next Step in the progression of lateral training with new movements to build the balance your horse needs for advanced straightness and collection. The exercises in this DVD add more difficulty because they ask the horse to move forward and sideways, now with a bend in his body. This important stage of lateral training builds the horse's strength and flexibility to bend his hind leg joints and increase suppleness in his shoulders and hindquarters. The lateral movements featured in this video are: - Shoulder Fore: the first step in teaching lateral movements requiring a bend to the horse's body. It helps straighten the horse and increase the carrying power of his inside hind leg. - Shoulder In: to strengthen the horse's hindquarters and joint flexibility, supple his shoulder muscles and encourage him to round his spine or collect. - Turn On The Haunches: for engaging and flexing the hind leg joints and regulating movement of the legs, as the rider learns how to independently control the forehand and hind quarters.

The lateral movements in Part 3 advance the horse's straightness by asking him for the greatest degree of hind leg joint flexibility and hindquarter mobility. The horse remains bent through his body as he moves forward and sideways through these maneuvers. This adds up to more engagement of his hindquarters, developing his ability to carry himself in a naturally collected frame. In this DVD you will sharpen your horse's responsiveness to communication from your seat, leg and hand aids as you progress through these exercises to collection. - Haunches In: Also called, travers improves hindquarter mobility and suppleness by strengthing and loosening the muscles and ligaments of the hind legs. A must for improving the rider's outside leg aid control. - Haunches Out: Also called, renvers, adds suppleness and strengthens the hindquarter muscles for collection. Provides the same benefits as haunches in and adds variety to lateral work. - Half Pass: Increases the horse's ability to engage his hindquarters for collection. This is one of the advanced lateral movements. To achieve it the horse must round his spine and be in a collected frame.

Accelerated Flexibility includes my most challenging exercises. My goal is to help you refine a correct balanced position with total coordination of your body.

I have added a specific segment about pelvic flexibility to help you understand the proper pelvic motion essential to using the seat as an aid. The exercises in this DVD are more challenging physically and build on the progression introduced in Parts 1 and 2. They will also bring rewarding results if practiced on a regular basis. I can't tell you how much exercises are important for riders of all ages. They are essential for development of the young rider's coordination. For adult riders, regular use of these exercises is essential to preventing sore muscles, keeping the joints working, strengthening the muscles, and keeping the body in shape.
