Relaxed & Supple – Exercises In the Saddle with Alice Trindle 39:47
We spend considerable time and energy on preparing our horse mentally to ride; making sure he is attentive and has a good attitude. Sometimes we might not spend enough time preparing our horse physically for that same ride.

In this segment she takes those concepts into the saddle and shows you how you can prepare your horse to be physically ready to ride.

With so much jam packed education in all the Horseman’s Gazette DVD’S. a hard decision to choose one to review. Wanting to learn a little more about dressage to help relax and supple I found the teachings of Alice Tindle so well explained and presented in a way that was very easy for me to follow. Relaxed and supple in the saddle was the missing link for my excitable mare. It has changed the way we ride together for the better with a lesson plan that works . I am for ever thankful for the brilliant information these dvd.s hold whether it`s Western or English riding, ridden or on the ground, the contents are just great Horsemanship from the best out there. Keep up the great info. you share with us all. Thank you so much really appreciated.

Each and every DVD is well put together, you have multiple areas of knowledge and expertise to watch and learn from. Just think of all the “tools” for your toolbox you can have and how happy you and your horses can be, I appreciate all the effort put into compiling this information.
