WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
For the layman & professionals alike, Leslie connects the dots between bodywork, hoofcare & dental care using understandable vocabulary & straightforward explanations that children & professionals can appreciate. You will learn how to "read" the horse's posture, sharpen up your eye & gain confidence evaluating common problems associated with poor saddle fit, equine dental neglect, the hyoid-to-hoof-con-nection & scores of behavioral issues that clearly indicate how to design a successful rehab protocol & which professionals in the horse health care community are most likely to provide meaningful input at the right time.

Vivi is a two- year-old. She crowds into people and seeks freedom from restraint. The mare isn’t sure what is expected and is uneasy around people at this stage.
Vivi is learning how to combine stillness and remain thoughtful on her end of the rope. She offers a disunited gallop depart to freedom, but is willing to reconsider without a fight.
Notice, too, that the opportunity to learn more about resistance and fighting is not available to horses in a feel-based approach to the placement and timing of the hooves.
Leslie discusses the importance of separating posture from speed and direction in young or green horses when establishing a foundation.
This way, horses can integrate the human expectation of obedience and need for reliable responses to understandable, feel-based handling without sacrificing the instinctual experience of themselves as prey animals.
Prey animals like cows, deer, sheep, goats and horses are inclined to run for safety when they sense danger or lack sureness, just as Vivi clearly shows in the first and second videos.
