Retreat and Training Clinic | | Shine-A-Bit Farm invites you to spend time at our Black Hills, South Dakota location with your horse to study classical, competitive and haute e'cole dressage. Participate in private riding lessons which will concentrate on horse and rider communication and form and function as it relates to training your horse.
| The psychology of equine training will establish the theory and hypotheses of how a horse perceives and understands the riders aids; action/reaction and avoidance conditioning are just a few of the topics that will be covered, with a special segment on the history of horsemanship starting at 2000 B.C. with the Greek Symon through the use of the first snaffle bridle, stirrups, tempi changes and up to the modern masters of horsemanship who have shaped today's philosophies.
| Enjoy the camaraderie of other riders who are also seeking ways to improve communication and performance with their horses. All lessons are taught with patience and clarity, with an emphasis on obtaining a willing partner by "asking" instead of forcing. Mari Zdunic's teaching will bring out the absolute best in both of you. Call for Pricing and Availability
