Description:
True collection involves full-body engagement with proper biomechanics, balance, and strength. Russ Krachun will share his philosophy and methods to enhance both the mental and physical aspects of the horse for better collection and performance. Collection benefits all riding styles by promoting soundness, reducing joint wear, and enhancing performance. A balanced horse is happier, and mastering collection techniques supports long-term health and training success as well as improved performance.
