RELAXATION Q1: Why do we begin with relaxation instead of movement?A: Because relaxation is the foundation of safe, effective movement. Without it, every step is built over tension — and tension leads to compensation, resistance, and eventually, injury. In our method, we don’t manage tension — we resolve it.We teach the horse to consciously recognize

From Relaxation to Spectacular Movement & Strong Back The Kinetic Functional Harmony of the Horse Why We Do This Work In our training approach, we do not seek to “correct” dysfunctions in a mechanical way — rather, we aim to unlock the horse’s full neuro-muscular and emotional potential. Performance, in our framework, is not the

Kinetic Chains – Coordinated Energy Transfer In this module, we shift our focus to the integration of movement — the coordination of muscle groups and energy pathways that work in unison to create efficient, powerful motion. We call these pathways kinetic chains — dynamic, temporary structures of muscular and fascial coordination that allow the horse

Module 5 Activation – The Technical Refinement of Pelvic Rotation With a correct movement pattern already in place — grounded in relaxation and tendon-based coordination — we now enter the next technical phase of development: activation. This is the point where we begin to refine how the pelvis functions within the movement. Specifically, we teach

Energy – The Beginning of Physical Training This module marks a turning point in the horse’s development. Until now, the focus has been on preparing the body: building correct movement patterns, restoring neuromuscular communication, and establishing a foundation of relaxation. With these in place, we now introduce energy — the defining factor that transforms preparation

Waving Topline – The Correct Foundation for Muscle Development When we teach the waving movement, we must make clear that muscle development only makes sense once the horse is using the correct movement pattern — namely, moving on his tendons. The biomechanics of tendon‑based movement are completely different from direct muscle‑driven movement. In tendon‑based movement,

Conscious Relaxation – The Neuro-Biomechanical Gateway to Intelligent Movement In much of today’s training culture — whether in equestrian practice or human athletics — movement is quantified: calories burned, muscles engaged, repetitions completed, power measured. While these metrics may have value, they reflect only the surface of what real movement entails. When movement is reduced

“Why It Works”: W.E.A.K. Back Program — The Tendon‑Based Approach for a Strong, Supple Back Welcome to the opening module of the W.E.A.K. Back Program. In this course, you will uncover why the tendon-based approach delivers superior, long-lasting results compared to conventional muscle-centric training methods — and how this shift in understanding allows your horse
