: Harmony (L2) /Advancing L2 5-day course;
Enjoy 5 days dedicated to just you and your horse. There's no greater way to improve and accelerate your horsemanship than dedicating to yourself a block of quality time when you can focus solely on improving your connection, communication and leadership skills with your horse.
: In this course you will learn how to earn the true respect and impulsion central to Level 2, to Harmony. Whether on-line, at liberty or under saddle, you'll further develop your rapport and communication with your horse, reinforce and begin to refine your language, and improve your leadership. You'll learn how to be "softer" and more effective, how to practice your natural horsemanship responsibilities and teach your horse his/her responsibilities, how to achieve greater responsiveness and relaxation in yourself and your horse, how to have an even stronger partnership based on psychology and savvy--and fun! Problems you were having in L1 or early L2 will "melt" away!
Nita Jo will teach concepts at the core of Level 2: on-line play incorporating obstacles (jumps, balls, tarps, trailers, you name it) and variety; round pen savvy and liberty skills; freestyle riding knowledge and skills such as saddle fit, balance point and other fluidity concepts (matching energy,"life up, life down"); carrot stick riding, smooth transitions, geting a good seat connection, if and when to introduce the bridle, beginning finesse, bareback riding (for those who are ready), trail riding savvy, and much more.

Advancing Partnership (L1A) Enjoy 3 days dedicated to just you and your horse. There's no greater way to improve and accelerate your horsemanship than dedicating to yourself a block of quality time when you can focus solely on improving your connection, communication and leadership skills with your horse.This course will involve both ground play and an introduction to Level 2 riding. You'll learn to succeed at playing the 7 games on-line and from the saddle--and begin to win them as you make the transition from Level 1 to Level 2. As a result, your bond with your horse -- and his or her trust in and respect for you--will increase and strengthen. You'll be introduced to the 22' rope and the variety of ways to play with your horse on-line, adding variety to your program as your add arrows to your savvy "quiver." Trailer loading will be de-mystified! You'll further your knowledge of, and gain confidence with beginning L2 riding skills and concepts such as direct and indirect reins, halt, passenger lesson, balance point, follow the rail, rein positions, maintain gait, sitting that trot, and much, much more! You MUST bring a horse that you can ride confidently, at a walk and trot, (on purpose!) and have recently (within a week) ridden. Please no horses that you WANT to learn to ride, just horses that you can already ride confidently, whether with the rope hackamore or bridle.
