2 . Positive Reinforcement Course with Terry Golson
Relationship building with your horse
·from the ground and in the saddle (马鞍)
Learn how to
·solve behavior issues
·communicate with your horse
·use rewards effectively
·deepen the friendship between you and your horse
Whatever you want to achieve—going out confidently in the fields, riding a fluent dressage (驯马技术) test, or self-loading into a carriage—this course can help.
The day begins with coffee and conversation. We’ll dig into behavior science and horse ethology (the study of animals in their natural environment). Next, we’ll discuss your individual horses and your training goals. Then, Terry will work with coach partnership to uncover what your horse is really saying to you, and how you react positively and productively so that the needs of both the horse and the rider are met.
Terry Golson is a lifelong horsewoman. She’s trained with some excellent dressage instructors, including Jessica Rechosen and Kim Litwinczak. In 2015, the first year of showing her horse, Terry and Tonka came in first or second in each of their ten classes.
