Desmond
Be there with us to meet an exceptional horsewoman and to live a unique
experience with horses!
It
is about time to step up your horsemanship
in quality!
Feel
and not pressure!
"My main goal is to teach others how to teach their students to develop
a reliable partnership that is based on feel. We are not talking about mechanics
when we are talking about feel. There is quite a bit to it. We are focusd on
the horse's mind, and the intelligent ways he has of knowing what you want and
doing what you want as any full and dedicated partner would if he or she could." Leslie
knows this way and is available to help you learn it. Click to contact Leslie.
„The
Clinician’s clinician!”
Would you like
to learn how to release your horses to the desired
maneuvers instead of forcing them?
Can you depart at the gallop and ask for a one-stride stop without taking
up the reins?
If your approach to trailer loading, lead changes, the upwards and downward
transitions is rough, this approach will get you off a plateau and moving
ahead immediately.
Does your horse need help getting back to a former state of happiness
and safe behaviour after trauma from accidents, mishandling and bad training
experiences?
If the answer is yes, then a feel-based approach will make a difference.
Leslie uses no flag, stick, whip or restraint devices to achieve submission.
Why is this? . . . one could wonder. Submission cannot be the goal if
partnership is.

Leslie
Desmond and the Clinic
Leslie Desmond
Leslie was born
in Germany, and grew up New ENgland, USA. She
learned about her first horse from a neighbor
who was educated in the "old school." She
trained the horses that she rode in regional
jumping competitions and local gymkhana events,
and then went on to coach children and new horse
owners in the basics of riding and horse care.
After high school, she worked show barns, racing
stables and small breeding establishments on
the east coast and Midwest USA.
For almost 50 years -- starting in 1965 at the age of 11 -- Leslie has
been offering help to horses and the people who love and ride them. Among
these were troubled horses that others had given up on... race horses,
show ponies, draft horses, jumpers and other kinds of performance and
backyard pleasure horses. She developed a few of her own horses to a
nice level where she could share them with her students.
" This is the highest compliment that I can give to a student. In that gesture,
in that offering, they know -- here is a horse Leslie has trained that I can
trust, here is a horse I can learn from. Here is a horse that is sure about what's
expected of him, and there is not a chance that I can ruin him or untrain him.
What I offer to them is my friend, I want to introduce them, and share access
to an incredible, feel-release-based connection. Most people are blown away by
this experience, and they take that inspiration forward in their development
and search for refinement in their horse-handling and riding from that moment
on. It's a very rewarding experience for me, too, as you can imagine!"
In 1990, Leslie relocated her riding school to Novato, California, where
she founded Diamond Lu Productions and released her first three-volume
video series, "American Horsemanship for Young & Old. She was
inspired to produce the best-selling "how-to" horsemanship
series for beginners by her most influential childhood mentor, Ivan Taylor,
a retired World War I cavalry officer from Manchester, Vermont .
" Ivan was in his mid-90s when I met him and the sessions we had back in
the early 1960s prepared me to fully enjoy my work with people and horses in
the decades that followed. Ivan's gentle approach also prepared me to recognize
the priceless gift that the late Bill Dorrance (1906 - 1999) - the legendary
horseman and rancher from Salinas, California - left for those of us who want
to work with our horses through feel," Leslie said.
During the last
years of his life, Bill asked Leslie to accept
his guidance during a 4-year apprenticeship while
she recorded his knowledge and experiences for
posterity.
Between 1995 and 1999 they trained horses together, put on demonstrations
and held clinics around Monterey County, California, while she co-wrote
the classic text, "True Horsemanship Through Feel". The sequel
to their book, a 10-CD audio book called "Horse Handling and Riding
Through Feel" that Leslie published in 2006, is an info-packed guide
to better horsemanship through feel. "It was my hope to ease the
serious horseman's journey by creating an easy learning avenue," she
said. "My dream is that horse enthusiasts and trainers from all
disciplines will consider and take on board the finer points of feel
and release as they travel down the road."
Leslie now works
mainly with trainers and serious intermediate-advanced
riders who want to improve their horse handling
and riding skills through feel. She lives half
the year in Europe and continues to hold horse
training seminars and demonstrations in the US.
In addition to the UK, Leslie's schedule for
2013includes clinics in Norway, Sweden, Germany,
Hungary, Canada and the USA.
Leslie
Desmond’s clinic:
What
can you learn during the clinic and the
Friday night demo?
Auditors can
pre-register anytime until day of the event.
Walk-ins welcome, but pre-registration advised.
Fee scale, payment options and details below.
On demo night on Friday, May 17th, Leslie will prepare riders and auditors
to understand the concepts, philosophy, techniques and applications of
feel & release as it was taught to Leslie Desmond by Bill Dorrance.
Discussion / demonstration for the evening will center on issues that
will benefit owners of young, troubled or untrained horses. Topics include:
appropriate boundaries relative to specific circumstances, placement
and timing of the feet, positioning of the head and neck, shoulders,
ribs, loin and hips to ensure safe, accurate and pleasurable handling
of the horse, pony or mule.
What will you
learn during the clinic and at the Saturday night
demonstration?
The Clinic
The difference
between "pressure and release" and "feel
and release", and the circumstances in which
a person and their horse would benefit most from
the use of either one.
To recognize the basic feel & release requests for any gait, and
direction and/or backing up. Maneuvers will be demonstrated in a smooth,
slow and accurate manner so the auditors can understand what they are
seeing, and the horse is not stressed.
Leslie will show you how to influence changes in posture (poll, mid neck,
base of neck, elevation of the shoulders, heart girth, ribs, loin, hips)
and to help the horse think clearly and move precisely as he places his
feet.
Participating in this event is extremely valuable for horses and riders
from all disciplines!
Leslie will work with riders in small groups of 4-6.
