THE BIOLOGY OF NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP
A One Day Event
Presented by
Dr. Bruce Nock, PhD & Ann Corso, CP
A SYMPOSIUM UNLIKE ANY OTHER
People know far
more about
effective communication and tactful training today than in the past.
But there is no reason to stop there. Come travel further down the road
of enlightened horsemanship to learn how things we do to and with
horses affect their biology and, in turn, their physical and emotional
well-being. It may surprise you but such information has great
practical value—it provides a basis for making reasonable
decisions that we can only guess at otherwise—decisions about
things that go well beyond respect and obedience: It can help us
understand how to ride to maximize the strength and endurance of a
horse while minimizing the potential for damage and injury. It can tell
us how to make horses less anxious and more enjoyable to handle and
ride. It can help us make intelligent decisions about training methods,
hoof care and boarding facilities. It can help us decide when and how
to wean foals and when to start training under saddle. And a whole lot
more. The symposium is jam-packed with
information of value to horse owners of all levels and types, including
those interested in breeding, showing, trail riding and so on. Come
travel a trail with fascinating twists and turns as Bruce and Ann guide
you through advanced topics in natural horsemanship.
