“A
Bit of Communication” Seminar with Manuel Trigo
Saturday, September 11, 2010 at Blue
Roof Equestrian Center
What really happens inside of the mouth of
a horse with the bit? This is something that modern riders have
either forgotten or have had difficulty learning. There are few books
that explain clearly the function of bits.
Over 4,000 years ago, riders were already
using bits; curiously the designs were quite similar to ours. Why not
much evolution? it. Why such variety of design? How are the different
designs used? Are we using the right bit according to what we are
expecting of our horses?
A large percentage of trainers and riders
are frustrated because they face problems with the mouth of their
horse. They find themselves unable to solve their problem which in
turn limits the progression and happiness of their horses. The bit
and the mouth of the horse are the most important elements of
communication. The wrong bit in the mouth of your horse means you
could experience NO further communication with him. Opened jaws,
rolled tongues, insensitive mouths, heavy contact, forehand under the
vertical, behind the bit, inverted poll, etc…are types of
resistance that result from bit discomfort. When the bit is not
correct, the horse is trying to tell you something, just listen to
your horse and learn to find the right one for him and for you.
This one day seminar will provide answers
to those questions in a clear way and will give you:
° Enough knowledge to
understand and be familiar with the different designs of bits
° A strategy to use and
evaluate effectiveness according to the progression of the training
of your horse and yourself
° A method to specify the
correct bit for your and your horse
° A way to upgrade from
your current bit to a new one

Two Day - "Lightness Unmounted Seminar"
with Manuel Trigo
Oct 9-10, 2010
First study, then
practice!
The
seminar will be followed by a two day mounted clinic, held
separately and at a different period of time so the student can go
home and practice in order to diest the new knowledge at his/her
own rhythm and speed.
We should not have any hesitation or
doubt when requesting anything of our horse, whether under saddle
or on the ground. Any hesitation or doubt will confuse our horse,
progressively putting him more in a state of disinterest towards
his work or his rider. Even worse, we lose leadership and the horse
loses trust and peace of mind. That is why you must attend the
unmounted seminars prior to the clinics. You must have the
knowledge and techniques in order to proceed to the mounted
practice in the clinics.
