ES 2035 - Basic Schooling

This class offers an introduction to classical schooling theory for the intermediate rider. At this level emphasis will shift to influencing the horse. Concepts of contact, bending, and improving the horse’s balance will be the primary focus, with students becoming acquainted with rhythm, suppleness, impulsion, and riding the horse from leg to hand. By semester’s end, students should be able to maintain a consistent frame, thereby improving the horse’s way of going.

Note: This course is for Equine Studies students only.
