Tipton Horsemanship 3.07

For many years Tipton Horsemanship has trained horses using a process steeped in classical tradition. Everything you could ever want to do with your horse, it already knows how to do. A rider’s job is just to become the horse’s guide, and subtly let him know what he should do and when he should do it. Tipton Horsemanship’s style of riding shows the student (and the horse) to communicate through a “signal” rather than contact, allowing the horse to own everything it does. The only way a horse can perform a manoeuver correctly is through straightness, collection, and balance. If left to their own devices they will always carry themselves correctly, but when we start riding them they may become unbalanced and develop problems. Tipton Horsemanship shows riders and their horses how to enter into “self-carriage,” so the horse is always prepared to perform whatever manoeuver is asked of it in the moment. This process is beneficial to all horses regardless of level of training or discipline. Tipton Horsemanship’s colt-starting program initiates freshly started horses immediately into this process. As horses progress in their schooling and their strength and balance increases, their ability to perform high-level maneouvers comes easily and naturally. Many clients come to us with already “finished” performance horses, seeking a more free and natural way of performing. This process will allow a horse of any level of training to become more fluid.
