Leanne's Five Steps Process to Training in Lightness
Leanne has dedicated her life’s work to the best and kindest training procedures for the most successful results.
It all starts with 5 simple steps...
Intro to Cavesson
Cavesson work aids horses in developing their strength, improving balance, and improving suppleness, all of which teaches them to use their bodies more sustainably and comfortably (for us and them) for riding.
By working on these points, we create horses with an increased performance life.
Lunging Inc Cavalletti
During lunging, we introduce movement whilst maintaining a relaxed posture while we assess the muscular development of the horse.
It is the first time we get to look at the natural balance of the horse while moving.
Including Cavalletti:
Cavelletti training on the lunge is a wonderful way of building confidence, co-ordination, bascule (lowering of one end while raising the other), strength and symmetry in your horse.
Mouthing Process
Part 1: Contact
Our method involves no backward actions on the mouth, instead, all actions are in an upward direction – as a rule, up the line of the cheek piece.
Part 2: Balance
For the horse to have a truly relaxed mouth we need to be able to maintain as much balance as possible laterally (right/left) and longitudinally (forwards/backwards) and diagonally in all positions.
Part 3: Bend
During halt, develop neck bend of 45 to 90 degrees to the body, without poll flexion. There should be no loss of balance during this process.
Part 4: Extension
Extending the neck forwards and downwards, so that the poll is lower than the withers, without losing balance over the shoulders.
In-Hand Work
Once the horse is confident with all initial exercises, both from the front and from the side (left and right) we can add movement (walk & trot) while working on the contact, balance, bend and neck extension.
We start with the basics but with work, you can begin all the lateral movements such as shoulder in, travers, renvers, half pass and walk pirouettes.
This ultimately leads to the development of the piaffe and passage exercises.
Mounting & Riding
The ultimate outcome for the mounting process that we have designed, is for the horses to stand so quietly that any person of any age, or ability, can mount.
Once we reach the ridden stage, we revisit previous steps while riding to ensure the horse understands that we are asking for the same things under saddle as we did on the ground.
The first four stages of training should not be forgotten and always be re-visited when necessary.
