Sought-after clinician Bernie Traurig stressed the importance of “practice, practice, practice” to riders at a workshop. 

In this issue, Traurig:

  • challenges riders to warm up their horses thoughtfully and productively
  • addresses the popular concept of inside leg to outside rein
  • focuses on the ability to control the horse’s shoulders
  • gives a lesson on bits and shares his belief in using the mildest bit possible, and more.

PLUS, Cat Hill, professional groom and co-author of World-Class Grooming, explains how you can maintain your horse’s comfort and cleanliness through the seasons by developing a seasonal grooming routine.
