Optimal Performance Program STARTER-KIT: Introduction to Riding

OPP Starter-KIT Vol.1 was a story of a young green PRE Stallion who arrived at OneHorseLife Training Yard to learn Conscious Muscle Relaxation of Optimal Performance Program for Horses in order to become the very best and very happiest relaxed future dressage athlete that he can be. We have all followed with excitement Piccolo's journey and witnessed how this unpolished rough diamond became a shiny gem: https://gum.co/OPP-KICKSTART

Now it's time for the next step...

OPP Starter-KIT Vol.2 

OPP Starter-KIT 2 is the next chapter of Piccolo's journey: Introduction to Riding. This time our team starts the journey strengthened with an addition of another horse: my 4yo Hannoverianer gelding LEO and together — me + these TWO young horses who are very different from one another, have very different confirmation, and very different training needs, and training experiences — we will work towards INTRODUCTION TO RIDING rooting all our actions on principles of Optimal Performance Program Training that is:

CONSCIOUS MUSCLE RELAXATION SYSTEM FOR HORSES

What is Optimal Performance Program?

Optimal Performance Program is a UNIQUE and INNOVATIVE science-based method of teaching horses conscious relaxation of skeletal and smooth muscle tensions PRIOR taking action and DURING taking an action in order to improve their health, focus and performance.

Optimal Performance Program STARTER-KIT: Riding is a GOOD FAT SOLID STARTER-KIT to Optimal Performance Program utilised for Riding at the affordable price.

OPP Starter-KIT: Riding IS FOR YOU, IF YOU:

• Already know *something* about Optimal Performance Program, but want to have a solid step-by-step base to introduce it to your horse due to behavioural issues present under the saddle,
  
• Know *nothing* about OPP but follow me on Facebook or Instagram, and feel like you want to learn more, and feel the "itch" to start to practice it with your own horses also from under the saddle,
  
• Think about full OPP Self-Study or Guided Program but wonder what it is about and if this is something you will be able to do with your horse, and what profits it offers,
  
• Want to see how I solve everyday issues and challenges with a green stallion based on Optimal Performance Program principles,
  
• Want to see how to Re-WRITE your adult horse memories and erase old traumas or misbehaviours by teaching him how to replace TENSION PATTERNS with the new CONSCIOUS MUSCLE RELAXATION PATTERNS, 
  
• Want to see how I introduce two different horses to the Training oriented onto building up a secure, safe, reliable, relaxed and happy riding horse,
  
• Want to introduce OPP to your future green horses, also from the saddle!
  
• Want to see how and in which areas of life, and to what extent Conscious Muscle Relaxation changes horses.
  
• Want to see what is the WORKING POWER behind OPP.

YOU WILL WITNESS HOW 2 HORSES LEARN TO RELAX UPON:

• Increased Heart Rate: super handy to control spookiness and teach the horse how to respond to all unpredictable situations that he finds stressful,
  
• Pressure of the Girth: especially important for horses who tend to buck, "crawl" their backs under the saddle and have problems with relaxation and going through the back when ridden,
• Weight and pressure of the Saddle: many horses struggle with ability to work properly through the back, because in the early training stages no-one taught them how to relax back muscles under the saddle. We will cover this with this program.
• Weight and pressure of the Rider's body: Moving with 10% of your body mass is not a piece of cake. There are ways to make it easy and teach horses how to relax their muscles upon carrying you, so that later in the training they can engage the deep skeletal muscles better and more effectively,
• Introduction to the function of the Bit: Residual Tensions Release Therapy with the BIT is the next stage of OPP Training. I will show you how proper function of the bit can CHANGE MOVEMENT PATTERNS & RELAX your horse beyond your imagination.
• Expanding function of the Bit: You will see how I introduce young horses to allowing relaxation spread through their bodies from mouth to the hind legs to have a better flow through the body and push (undisturbed push of the energy through the relaxed yet engaged body: Schwung)
• Relaxation at Restrictions of Movement: Every position a riding horse is asked to maintain either in vertical, horizontal or lateral plane can be seen as opportunity to relax, or to further tensions which horse's body grows to maintain balance in a new situation. 
• Relaxation at Restrictions of the Frame: If your horse fights with your hand, has any mouth vices, head vices, rears, bucks or simply feels very unhappy about it is THE relaxation technique for both of you!
• Introduction to long-reins: It's art on it's own terms, and I invite you to join me and step into the world of mastery of groundwork preparation of your horse towards riding. Long reins means: all profits from working from the saddle MINUS weight and burden of the weight of the rider!
• Introduction to my NaturalBalance technique for Horses: over 300+ readers and practitioners around the world!
