Learn Horse Training Online! Now you can learn horse-training techniques, train your horse with professional step-by-step help, and earn a college degree or Professional Certification-all at the same time and at home. Training Performance Horses begins before the first saddle and takes you through each progressive step of training until the horse is learning to perform the flying change of leads. The focus of the course is on the "how-to" steps of teaching the horse forward, backward and lateral exercises, proper cadence and stride, impulsion, suppleness and collection. Any horse and any trainer, no mater what their previous experience, can gain new insights into training without force, gimmicks or specialized equipment. The course isn't about western or English, it is designed to give the trainer and horse all the basic movements and footfall sequences necessary to allow the partners to advance to the highest levels of performance at any discipline, if that is their desire. Internationally known author/trainer Don Blazer designed and wrote the 140-page text for the nine-lesson course that begins with nutritional requirements, general health care and the basics of hoof balance and shoeing for performance horses. The text includes demonstration photos, and can be viewed on screen or downloaded and printed as hard copy. Haltering, leading and lungeing techniques make up the second lesson while the use of bits and saddles completes the third lesson. Saddle, bridle and step up for the first time is the subject of the fourth lesson, while the first rides, with emphasis on "tipping the horse's nose" are covered in lesson five. Performance stops, sliding or square, are studied in lesson six, while transitions, half-halts and backing are detailed in lesson seven. Lesson eight is all about leg yielding, two-tracking, shoulder-in, haunches-in and haunches-out. The final lesson covers side-passing, pivots, spins, rollbacks and the flying change of leads. Students complete a true-false test and a narrative report at the end of each lesson. Students must provide a video of themselves working with their horse to complete each lesson, starting lesson four. Blazer reviews the tests and reports with each student, making suggestions and offering specific assistance. Once students complete the lessons satisfactorily, they move on to the next lesson. "Nothing else empowers you quite like increasing your knowledge and polishing your skills. And your Professional Certification or Bachelor of Science degree says your accomplishments and talents have been tested and recognized. It is an excellent basis for a home-based, horse-training business," Blazer said. "It is amazing and gratifying to see how much students can achieve with step by step guidance while they are perfecting training techniques," Blazer said. As a trainer, Blazer has had horses compete in the AQHA World Championships, win at jumping, dressage, reining and both western and English pleasure. Blazer has won stakes races with both Quarter Horse sprinters and Thoroughbreds. Contributing
