This is the first day saddles are introduced during week 3, day 3 of the Beyond the Saddle Holistic Clicker Training Program at Starr Horse Retreats.
Beyond the Saddle does not mean we don’t use saddles. It means we are not dependent on them.
Some students choose to ride with a saddle for added support and stability. Others choose bareback to feel a deeper connection with the horse’s movement.
There is no right way.
Each rider meets the horse from where they are, building confidence, balance, and trust in their own way.
This is where individuality within partnership becomes visible.
