The higher level of “Meditation.”

A deeper level of connection. A higher level of mastery.

Paraphrasing Leo Tolstoy: Freethinkers are willing to use their minds without prejudice, and without fearing to understand things that clash with their customs, privileges, and beliefs.

This state of mind is rare—but essential—for refined equitation. It is within reach for all of us, and working at this level brings a profound and superior pleasure.

In Master Two 25, we explore a higher level of “meditation”—a level of concentration that allows you to feel and redirect the smallest shifts in your horse’s physique. This sensitivity cannot exist without a sound understanding of the athletic demands placed on the horse.

Master Two 24 explored the physical demands of the Piaffe, Tempi Changes, Canter Pirouette, and Passage.

Master Two 25 goes one step further:

It guides you to a depth of body control that transcends natural reflexes.

It calls upon your physical intelligence, developing the muscle synergies and closed kinematic chains that allow you to feel and act at a level unreachable through traditional approaches.


At the Science of Motion training center, horses work from elementary levels to Grand Prix. We apply to Master Two the same proven methodology successful in Simple and Master One 24:

Daily work is recorded and shared to illustrate the phases of the horse’s mental processing, physical development, and the body control necessary for higher-level movements.

The confidence horses develop through this gentle, clear interaction frees their minds from the fear of making mistakes—allowing for far more subtle and sophisticated performance.


As riders, we are often as traumatized by traditional education as horses are.

We are taught to apply formulas, interpreting the horse’s reactions through theoretical effects.

But a horse can execute the same movement using different muscle and fascia combinations.

So can the rider.

In Master Two, I show the way I do it—not to dictate your path, but to open the door to your own.

If your horse responds efficiently, the way you asked the question was effective.

Learn the rules as a professional; then, allow your intuition to flow like an artist.

It is a mistake to fit the horse to our beliefs. It is a greater mistake not to listen to the horse at all.


True muscle synergy develops in response to how the horse processes your questions.

The old summary of "obedience" misses the mark.

An obedient horse is not physically prepared for high-level athletic demands.

Neither is a rider who simply "obeys" the rules.


In Master Two 25, we study four key movements:

  •  

Piaffe

  •  

Tempi Changes

  •  

Canter Pirouette

  •  

Passage

We dedicate three months to each, giving you the time to review video footage and understand how preparation for simpler movements shapes the physique for higher-level demands.


The key lesson:

A training technique that does not prepare a horse for the athletic demands of high-level work will also fail at preparing the horse for simpler work. Talent may compensate temporarily, but pathology will likely follow.


Master Two helps you see the rider you truly are, and the horse you truly have.

It teaches you humility—the greatest superpower—essential for applying new knowledge with wisdom.
