Tension (or stiffness, bracing, resistance) can develop in your horse for a variety of reasons- improper posture, a sedentary lifestyle, an old injury, fear, confusion, and more. Tension will block the flow of energy through your horse’s body much like a kink will block the floor of water through a hose. Tension will make it harder for your horse to move in an athletic and healthy way. Therefore before we try to develop our horse physically, it’s best to discover and work through those areas of tension. Once tension is released, everything else will be easier.
In hand work in the best way that I’ve discovered to release tension in a horse. Join me in learning the steps that I take with any horse that I work with to discover and release tension. This in hand work benefits all horses regardless of breed, age, training level, or discipline.

FAQ
- I have a miniature horse/draft horse/gaited horse. Can I participate? Yes! Mindful lunging work is beneficial to all breeds of horses, from the biggest to the smallest.
- Do I need special equipment? You’ll need a horse, lunge line, and lunge whip. A lunging cavesson is preferred but you can also work in a regular leather halter. We will discuss the equipment more in depth in the first week but feel free to email tuskeydressage@gmail.com with any questions.
- I have no experience with Lunging. Will I be able to do this course? Absolutely! Bethany breaks everything down into easy to follow steps. You can also receive additional guidance through video coaching and our Facebook group. Your success is of utmost importance to us!
- Why don’t I get lifetime access to the content? In order to keep the costs of this course as low as possible, we made the decision to limit it to a three month subscription. This allows participants to try it out at a very affordable rate. Most courses of this type cost several hundred dollars to participate in, which can be cost prohibitive for many people. If you would like to continue to have access to the course material after the course ends, you are welcome to join our Virtual Classroom where you will continue to have access to this plus all of our other courses and videos as long as you maintain your subscription.
