The
beginning is not only the most interesting and exciting, but also
the most important part of a horse's education.
Right here is where your communication with a horse starts. From
the first moment you introduce yourself to a horse, you are
teaching him how to treat you and how to interact with the world
when you're with him. This is about presenting yourself to a
horse in the best way that suits the horse - so you can help him
to be confident, light, and responsive and to have a positive
attitude.
Experience and begin
to understand the unity, harmony, and mental togetherness that
will help you to eliminate force and help your ideas become your
horse's ideas.
Your feel
and your timing are everything to a horse. From the first
saddling, to the first ride, colt starting can be an art. Watch
as Patrick gets the horse mentally right so that it can be
physically right. The more knowledge you have about a horse's
start, the more you'll be able to help him along the way... and
the more you know about the finish you want to put on a horse (his
ultimate job - where you want to go with him once he's a riding
horse), the better you'll be with giving him his start. During
this first ride, nothing is really good or bad to the horse, it's
just new information.
This is what will set your
horse's career for success, no matter what breed or discipline.
Experience how much you can offer to a horse during that first
ride... it's much more than you've ever imagined!

Everyday,
more trainers and clinicians are going down the road teaching steps and
exercises and drills in order to help people with their horses and their
horsemanship. No doubt, this ‘horseman-in-a-box’
approach is valuable in teaching the human… but what the horse needs is
something different.
There are
very few people trying to offer what Patrick King tries to offer to the
human and the horse. Feel.
It’s a
feel that comes from the heart of the human and the heart of the horse and
becomes a connection and a synchronicity of two minds and two bodies.
That
feel is so important to the horse, and when you don’t have that, you lose a
very important part of the horse. You can still get results without that part,
but you are not working with the horse in his entirety.
His mind. His body. His spirit.
It’s all
got to be lined up and working with you…. Otherwise this feel won’t be
there.
Learn about the feel,
timing, and balance required to achieve
excellence with horses - and learn about the 'one other thing
that makes it all work.'

There are times, with a horse, when the wires of communication get
crossed. There are times when pieces of the foundation are
missing. The root of the problem can be something as simple
as lack of confidence in the horse or lack of preparation from the
rider... or it can be something even deeper and more complex.
Whatever the cause, the horse's mind, body, and spirit are not
working with the human.
During a
Problem Horse Demonstration,
Patrick will take you back to the
beginning with a horse, finding the missing pieces and troubled
spots.
This is about presenting yourself to a
horse in the best way that suits the horse - so you can help him
to be confident, light, and responsive and to have a positive
attitude.
Experience and begin
to understand the unity, harmony, and mental togetherness that
will help you to eliminate force and help your ideas become your
