Our first lesson is * Relaxation *

Lowering the head helps to take your horse out of the “flight” mindset and also helps to engage their mind.

It is easy to carry out on the ground, in the saddle, in a halter, bridle, bitless or bitted!

Here is a step-by-step picture guide of how to lower the head whilst on the ground and when you’re on your horse.
