Foundation Riding Techniques

Many people think that riding using natural horsemanship methods means always riding with a hackmore or bitless bridle and, for this reason, tend to shy away from natural horsemanship.

When progressing from the ground to the saddle we strongly encourage you start with a halter/hackmore. The reason for this is that it helps you to develop a balanced seat and ‘good hands’. The less you depend on your hand aids and rather use your seat and leg aids means the more positively your and your horse’s performance will progress.
