This Online Course follows a 6 year old Lusitano through his 6 months of training. Legend showed anxiety about the contact and needed to build a lot of muscle to be able to carry himself in a way many horses do. The videos do not show perfection but steps of real improvement.

It starts with meeting him for the first time in his stall, evaluating his problem areas and follows through almost weekly training sessions. Before every ride is a summary of what he has been working on and the objective of the ride.

The sessions are full of training philosophies and exercises to help Legend mentally and physically.

This is a fun course to watch from beginning through end, or search for subjects that interest you to check in with any video.
