The Aids
In this workshop, we will be focusing on the Aids. Since we cannot communicate with our horses using spoken words and sentences, we use aids to communicate. The "aids" are basically pressure and relief of pressure and we communicate with our horses through feel. The main aids that we use are as follows:
Leg aids - the driving aids
Rein Aids - the restricting aids
Seat - the translator between the driving and restraining aids.

Improve your riding!
I've been reading a wonderful book, The Art of Horsemanship by Udo Bürger. He says "the aids must always be adapted to the degree of understanding and physical strength of the horse. They must therefore vary in intensity, and in form, and will have to be used separately or in combination according to progress. Eventually, the aids should become indications rather than commands." This workshop teaches you just that!
