The Horseman’s Gazette – Issue No.29 – Streaming

Product Description

Welcome to the 29th issue of The Horseman’s Gazette, a quarterly video-series that enables you to watch and learn from some of the most talented horsemen and -women working with horses today.

Education is the main objective of this video-series. Because we believe that it’s the little things that make a big difference; a change in expression, the length of a pause, the smoothness of a transition, these video segments are edited as little as possible to give you the whole picture of how each horse and rider progress.

Becoming a better horseman is a life-long process, and if you are serious about becoming the best you can be, now you can enjoy having access to some of the best in the horsemen and women world.

Then on a horse with a bit more experience he shows the same, so you can get a sense of how a horse might progress.

Hindquarters-Frontquarters Exercise Tom Curtin 10:52
Maneuvers and exercises work on the surface of a horse. What’s important is how the horse feels on the inside while you’re working on them. Tom Curtin demonstrates an exercise that can separate the front end from the back end and the back end from the front end and reminds us to be mindful of where our horse is mentally while moving the life around in our horse.
