Straightness Training
- Certified 2024 Straightness Training Instructor
Webinars, Virtual Lessons and Clinics
Did you know that every horse is left-handed or right-handed by nature? Every horse has a natural asymmetry, and this can cause a lot of problems once a horse starts its training career.
For example:
- Leaning on the reins and having difficulty with circles
- A strongly developed under neck
- Hollow back and poor topline
- Speeding up especially in canter
- The saddle slides to one side
- Kissing spine and lameness symptoms
Straightness Training consists of gaining awareness of your horses individual needs, and then using a logical system of systematic exercises to strengthen and develop the horse symmetrically.
As a Certified Instructor I can help you assess your horse and create a personalized training program. Contact: adiva@adivamurphy.com
Virtual Lessons
How would you like to have access anytime, anywhere to a coach? Virtual lessons are a facetime video lesson nearly as good as having a live clinic or lesson. This is a very cost-effective way to continue to your progress with weekly lessons. After each facetime lesson homework and review notes are provided.
