Can you imagine knowing the secrets of control without force, of communication without ropes? This is where the magic of horsemanship starts. The Clinics based on Stages 3, 4, & 5 take horsemanship into realms far beyond what people do with horses everyday. Learn to tell the critical difference between a lack of understanding or confidence vs. disrespect and different ways to deal with each. Advance your skills as you learn: to encourage positive reflexes on the ground and in the saddle.

Learn to tell the critical difference between a lack of understanding or confidence vs. disrespect and different ways to deal with each. These stages also explores impulsion (where go=whoa) which is why you'll feel less and less need to use the reins for control. Advance your skills as you learn: to encourage positive reflexes on the ground and in the saddle, and more exercises to develop an independent seat and what it takes to accomplish leads and lead changes. This is where the fun begins!

Details: The Natural Horsemanship Program that Glenn teaches is designed to teach the intangibles...focus, feel, feel, timing, and savvy — the things most people think can't be learned. Learn the essence of communication and excellence with horses that will continue to unfold for years to come.

Explore your Mental, Emotional, and Physical Potential... Build accuracy, more feel, and precision. Your communications will become subtle, almost invisible to the observer finding a new level of grace and finesse. You will discover the benefits of vertical flexion and how to achieve the early stages of collection through respect, impulsion and flexion properly and naturally combined. To prepare a horse for vertical flexion, it is critical to have him mentally and emotionally prepared so he is free of tension and anxiety. The savvy it takes to bring a horse naturally to this point of mental emotional and physical collection is an essential part of the horsemanship journey. It involves a high degree of understanding and preparation both on the ground and in the saddle. Explore the concept of voluntary involvement from your horse and advance your intellectual understanding of how maneuvers are built, first being able to perform them in your own mind and body before accomplishing them on the horse.

The last four days (Stage 8) of this twelve day camp are optional. Save with the January 15th Earlybird.

Details: Going to High & Wild is hands down the highlight of our year. The experience of being in those mountains immersed in horsemanship and fresh air, woven into timeless valleys and trails, so removed from the outside world of cell phones, traffic and deadlines is restorative in ways you cannot even begin to imagine. It is a place where time stands still for a while and lets you catch your breath. Those that have been to High & Wild agree that words and pictures cannot ever describe the experience they have enjoyed, but we've all tried! We have a beautiful High & Wild DVD, a gallery of photos, excerpts of magazine articles, student highlights and a map - the map of all maps!

Week 1 - High & Wild Colt Starting, Young Horse Development & Problem Solving

The main focus of this particular week is to increase your skill level with horses, presenting opportunities to sharpen your skills with multiple horses, studying the behavior and psychology of one of the last free range horse herds in Canada. These horses live year round in the mountains and have developed undomesticated herd/individual behavior and survival strategies. They are in charge of their own health and welfare throughout the year and interacting with these horses in their purest form is eye opening. Experience an excellent example of putting principles to purpose, of how "Horsemanship is Natural". Experience how horses can go from pawing snow and fighting wolves in the winter to their legs becoming ours and our thoughts becoming theirs, all in ways that preserve their dignity and help us do and be so much more than we would be if not for them.

During this course, students will be presented with a chance to achieve a deeper understanding of horse behavior by playing with various horses, practicing techniques, exploring concepts and theories, and how they apply to different horsenalities leading to accelerated learning. Some of the areas and things we will cover are as follows:

Reading the horse - Horse psychology, concepts and theories. Herd dynamics - The drive line. Working within the herd. Moving/Trailing. Herd management. Rounding up. Horses for transport. Packing. Tying the diamond. Methods of trailing multiple horses. Knots - Valuable, effective, and safe. Foot handling, trimming & maintenance. Young horse development. First haltering. Introducing the concept of following and offering a feel for the first time with untouched horses. Colt starting - Accept the human, accept the saddle, accept the rider, accept the bit. (Participation will vary in different degrees dependent upon each person's individual ability level and skill set)

The prerequisite for this course is that all applicants must have passed a minimum of Stage 5 or original Parelli Level 2; OR be enrolled in the 3 Month Horsemanship Course. Exceptions may be made in some circumstances. Spectators/Non riders also welcome and do not need to meet requirements.
