FIT One is designed to establish a foundation so you can give the best care possible for your
animal in order to better understand and address his needs.
More specifically, this FIT One module is focusing on the daily issues every horseman might
face. If we can find the “problem” then we can do something about it. To quote Dave Collins,
“Most of the problems of resistance we experience with our horses relates to pain or
restrictions in the body, NOT attitude. This means if we can find the ‘problem’ then we can do
something about it.” Major areas such as the shoulder, hind end and back, along with real life
situations are addressed. Through classroom instruction and hands on practical experience
you will learn about the physical aspects of the horse such as: the muscles, ligaments,
tendons, bones and joints. You will learn how the skeletal and muscular systems create and
influence movement. And, you will learn tools to specifically assess and address key areas.
This module will open the door to develop more effective communication between you and
your horse. And this connection will only deepen with time.
