Laurelin Farm presents How Yoga Can Better Your Horsemanship; In this brief video Caroline North talks about how the system of exercise known as yoga has practical applications to improve a riders abilities to influence the horse through subtle muscle and breath control. Through the physical exercises or 'asana' off the horse, the rider is primed to better control his or her muscles on the horse in a natural way that is easier for the horse to understand. The creates more harmony and joy in the the partnership between horse and rider, no matter what riding discipline they choose.
