First Mount & Riding Without Reins | Beyond the Saddle Holistic Clicker Training Program Week 3

Week 3 of our Beyond the Saddle Holistic Clicker Training Program marks a profound milestone.

For the first time, students mount their horses, and without reins, guided only by the target and the trust they’ve built through two weeks of groundwork.

This exercise transforms the connection between horse and human, inviting balance, presence, and authentic partnership.

Through positive-reinforcement clicker training, riders learn to communicate through intention and energy rather than control, discovering the freedom and harmony that come from mutual understanding.
