Anthony explains why and how to head yield. In this exercise, timing is everything.

About the class

Embark on a journey of connection and relaxation with our equine expert, Anthony, as he guides you through the art of teaching your horse the head yield technique.

🐴 What to Expect:

  1. Understanding Sensitivity: Learn how some horses may carry tension around their heads due to past bridling experiences. Discover how the head yield can help alleviate emotional stress and promote relaxation.
  2. Gentle Pressure Technique: Begin by applying slight pressure to the poll and gently ask your horse to lower its head. As soon as your horse responds by yielding to the pressure, release it immediately. Patience and persistence are key as you guide your horse through this process.
  3. Tailored Approach: Recognize that each horse is unique, and some may require more time and patience, especially if they exhibit bracing in the poll. Remember Anthony's wisdom: "If it takes all day, it takes all day." Employ rhythmic pressure for horses that may be dull to respond.
  4. Timing Is Key: In this exercise, timing plays a crucial role. Learn to gauge your horse's response and adjust your pressure accordingly. Consistency and precision will help you and your horse achieve harmony.

🌿 Benefits:

  • Emotional Wellness: Experience the profound impact of the head yield technique on your horse's emotional well-being, fostering a deeper sense of relaxation and trust.
  • Enhanced Communication: Strengthen the bond between you and your horse as you communicate through subtle cues and responses, fostering a harmonious partnership.
  • Stress Reduction: Help your horse alleviate stress and tension by mastering the head yield technique, promoting a calm and serene demeanor.
