If your goal is for your horse to become a "happy athlete," Equitopia's new online course is for YOU! This course was developed with Gerd Heuschmann, world renowned veterinarian, master rider, and acclaimed author of "Tug of War: Classical vs. Modern Dressage," "Collection or Contortion," "Balancing Act," and the DVD that shook the horse industry in 2009 "If Horses Could Speak." Based on a lifetime of study and experience integrating compassionate training techniques for the physical and mental welfare of horses, Dr. Heuschmann examines the basics of classical riding, focusing on the first three steps of the training scale: rhythm, suppleness and contact. He goes through each step in detail to explain how to produce a happy horse in balance.
