Mastering Good Horsemanship
Sponsored by Hylant Group Nashville and Markel
Presenter: Gil Merrick - USEF Team Leader for Dressage at the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games, the 2007 Pan American Games and the 2008 Olympic Games.
Becoming the very best horseman we can be puts us on an educational journey that we share with our horses throughout our lives. And there are some fundamental principles of good horsemanship that we must master along the way if we are to meet with success in our quest. Because they are fundamental, these principles apply to every breed of horse and to all riding disciplines – regardless of the specific training methods we use to create our horses’ performance.
