Horse Wise® Horsemanship Buckle for 4-H groups

02/27/21 • 21 min

As part of the our youth education services, we have started a Horse Wise® Horsemanship Buckle for 4-H groups. In this episode (#55), I discuss the buckle standards and why we decided to start this specific initiative. The buckle requirements focus on learning ground work techniques -- to help young riders become more aware of their horses (and learn to "do less sooner" for better partnership and performance). Prize includes the buckle AND $100 cash prize. If you work with a 4-H club and are interested in our buckle series (and its requirements), please email me at [email protected].

At Horse Wise, I teach people tools so that they can learn how to coach themselves and their horses to progress together as a team. It’s a fun process that shows you how build a good partnership with your horse (in a practical, straightforward way).

Alicia Landman on the best things you can do for your horse (and yourself).

Alicia Landman has devoted her life to the study and dedicated practice of horsemanship. I’ve been inspired by her work for years — and I especially admire her willingness to always evolve as a horsewoman and teacher. In this episode (#54), we discuss the importance of embracing the basics — and how fun it is to discover new nuances in those basics each year. Alicia also shares her decision to take a sabbatical from teaching for a month — so she can focus on her young horses and on developing her skills even further.
