About the class

Just like finding balance and harmony in our practice, mastering the lead departure requires a delicate blend of cues and communication with your horse.

🐴 What to Expect:

  1. Advanced Manoeuvre Techniques: Join Steph as she guides you through achieving lead departures, both one-handed and two-handed. Learn the nuances of interrupting the lead departure without pulling on your horse's face and making corrections post-departure.
  2. Smooth Reining Patterns: Understand the importance of a smooth departure in the reining pattern and how to set it up effectively. Discover techniques for maintaining a calm walk if your horse anticipates or becomes anxious prior to the manoeuvre.

🌿 Benefits:

  • Enhanced Communication: Deepen your bond with your horse as you refine your cues and responses during lead departures.
  • Skill Development: Progress from basic manoeuvres to advanced techniques, enhancing your horsemanship skills and confidence.
  • Harmonious Partnership: Cultivate trust and cooperation with your horse through clear communication and understanding, creating a seamless partnership.

✨ Join Us on the Arena!
