Carson James Clinic Tour
This series focuses on helping your horse understand what you're asking from him so that he can cooperate willingly. Watch as Carson works with others to cover some vital groundwork, creating life in your horse, front end control, hind end control, speed control, rein management, foot placement, stops, balanced turns, shoulder control, problem solving and many other topics that focus on small adjustments that all come together to make big changes. You'll discover how to look for and feel these small changes that many horse owners miss or dismiss as unimportant, but in reality, they are what make all the difference. This is a great foundation for less experienced horses/riders and beneficial refinement for more experienced horses/riders.
