A Course in Lungeing with Babette Teschen

Description

 

Do You Want Bring About Profound Improvements for Your Horse?

Do you wish that you could work your horse correctly, feeling secure in the knowledge that everything you do is biomechanically healthy for its body?

As you’re reading this, I’m guessing you’re the kind of horse person who does.

Happily, you don’t need to be a dressage impressario or own a Spanish horse to do it, much as you may love reading about their work and watching them train.

 

Why Your  Horse Will Improve – and Keep Improving

You’ll see how much their shape can change

Correct in-hand work will restore strength, suppleness, and the ability to work softly to your horse’s body.

It doesn’t matter about age, breed or conformation they are – the benefits are huge.

At even a basic level, it conditions the horse to carry weight and to not only balance itself, but to move effectively while carrying the weight of the rider.

Every rider and horse can benefit from this, no matter your ridden goals or disciplines are.

“In as much as you learn to lunge your horse according to biomechanical principles, you are doing what is best for the health and spirit of your animal partner: you give it the means to fulfil what you want of it in a healthy way.”  — Babette Teschen

 

 

Drawing the Best from Classical Approaches

Take the time to correctly lunge your horse

In recent years, there’s been a renewed interest in a more classical, biomechanically correct approach to training. This has brought simple in-hand training techniques back to the fore.

These are older methods that prepare horses for ridden careers, often overlooked in the great rush to do everything faster, but less effectively.

Are you tired of seeing horses rushed to work and compete, with incorrect postures and expressions of tension and strain?

The fact is that many of those horses sufer injury sooner, and many have shorter careers.

With Babette’s help, you can educate your horse to move and to carry itself in a healthy, biomechanically correct way.

Then when you ride, you can be sure that your horse’s body is ready to support you.

“A really excellent course. Interesting for me, as a trainer, to read, as the course confirmed my determination to continue my opposition to the thankless business of lungeing on a bit and the tying up and packaging of horses with sidereins etc. and to continue to explain to people why. Through the course I have learnt many more good reasons for my opinion – to the benefit of horses – thank you so much!!!” — Karolin 

 

Therapy and Training in One

Correct training benefits the horse’s body

I’ve been recommending this program to bodywork clients over the years, with positive results.

Those who’ve taken it up have had success rehabilitating horses, from ex-racehorses to stock horses and trail horses.

The strength in their bodies, the suppleness, and the ability to work softly in a magnificent shape without any kind of restriction or force is wonderful to see.

These horses go on to flow under the saddle.

Why wouldn’t you want that for your horse?

“As a vet I am particularly impressed with your knowledge of the underlying biomechanics and for your just and fair way of dealing with horses… 

My hope is that your Lungeing Course will be read more by vets too, as I am convinced that many sorts of lameness could be better explained with the help of biomechanical considerations and convalescent horses more successfully brought back to health again. 

So do continue your wonderful work for the sake of all horses.” — Lea Schudel, DVM

 

 

Restoring Dignity to the Horse

Watch as your horse’s pride increases 

There’s no getting away from it: as their bodies improve, horses really love working in this way.

Their spirits lift. Extravagance comes into their action, not just in training, but back in the paddock too.

As their body improves, pride becomes visible in their movement and attitude.

These horses move with more expression under saddle.

Again, why wouldn’t you want that for your horse?

 

You Can Learn This at Home

There’s no need to travel to clinics

With this wonderful learning and ongoing support, it’s easy to fit A Course in Lungeing into your every day life.

Once this approach is learned, the improvements come quickly. Dramatic changes can happen through just 2-3 short sessions a week!

It’s not time consuming at all – and you don’t need to learn additional skills outside the course to do it.

 

Learn and Progress from Day 1

A clear and easy to follow program

This comprehensive course, available in both German and English, was developed by Babette Teschen, being based on her many years of teaching correct lungeing in workshops across Europe.

It clearly presents exercises that will help you and your horse master the art of flexing correctly in a circle with ease and enjoyment.

You’ll find it’s easy to learn, easy to do, and easy to keep going. These techniques will soon become second nature.

“Your method of writing is excellent and easy to understand, even for beginners like me – your Lungeing Course suits me more than all the books and DVDs that I have tried to study on the subject so far, and which I had to shelve as they did not suit us or went completely over my head. Many many thanks for it!” — Victoria
