***BESTSELLER!! Connecting with your horse is the single most powerful thing you can do to transform your riding and training...AND...
Stretching on Horseback Offers one of the Easiest, Fastest and Most Time-Effective ways to Become a Better Rider AS you Find Unity With Your Horse.
WITHOUT enduring difficult sessions of drilling, and repetition.

Affording you a chance work on your Position, Abilities, Timing and Feel, all while Increasing the Partnership, Bond, and Relationship you have with your horse.

...Yet few equestrians are aware of this powerful tool, a tool that will profoundly transform your ride.

They waste valuable time and effort focused on creating the "perfect" position, without realizing what their horse thinks of their contortions. Then spending the rest of the ride making their horse listen, creating a dull and unresponsive horse.

What about flipping that on its head!?! Begin your ride in a way where you grow your awareness and find your position easily and naturally all while improving harmony, unity, feel, and the ability to time your aids.
Setting the stage for a ride BOTH you and your horse enjoy!

Paula Curtis wants her students to have fun, enjoyment, and be creative in their riding. "I teach because I want riders to feel what is truly possible. If you can learn more about your horse, what motivates him and makes him interested in what you have to offer, then you can train effectively. Riding is about; feel, communication and partnership. Riders need to think from the horse's perspective, and work with the horse's mind."
Here's a glimpse at what you will find in this transformative book.

  • How to break free of old patterns and habits, easily and naturally finding your own perfect position.
  • Why ordinary training oftentimes removes us from the thinking-feeling state necessary to connect with our bodies and with our horses and what to do about it.
  • The clever (and easy to apply) techniques you discover in this one-of-a-kind training will allow you to reach your true riding potential.
  • How to let go of old limiting patterns of movement, bringing in new beneficial patterns easily and readily.
  • Why "ordinary equitation" may be harming both you and your horse, and how to find a position that helps, not hinders you...
  • A feel based approach, empowering you to truly center, both physically and mentally, tuning in to your own body as well as your horse's.
  • How stretching reduces fear, freeing you to intentionally practice positions that may not be natural, allowing you to learn that even though you feel out of control, the body still has balance and ability to stabilize.
  • How to transform your riding, as your stability, effectiveness, and self awareness is taken to a new level.When you gain this profound increase in your awareness & power of observation, you will find you can be your own teacher.
  • The secret to independence of the aids, as you become a quieter more effective rider, allowing for clear and accurate communication.
  • What NOT to do if you want swift and dramatic improvements in finding your own functional, centered, balanced position AND How to do it WITHOUT stiffness or force.
  • How shifting your intentions and focusing on yourself takes the pressure to perform off of the horse, creating relaxation. A relaxed horse is far easier to train than a tense horse.
  • How to use guided visualizations and strategic questioning, to stay in an intuitive feeling state, of self-discovery AND union with your horse.

      Are You looking to create a partnership with your horse that is fun, easy and inspirational?

      In a way that is heart-centered, partnership-based, nurturing curiosity and a sense of pride.

Great ball, bad rope
Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1, Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1
My dog and I love the starmark ball on a rope tug toys. While this is one of the best tug toys we have found, I am continually disappointed with the quality of the rope. The plastic sleeve comes off the first day, and after that the stitching begins to weaken until the rope ends come apart and the rope slides out of the ball. Is there a way to improve this design so that this toy lasts longer? My dog is not left alone with the toy, it is only used as an interactive tug toy as a training reward. I am updating my review now several months later. I reinforced the rope with a paracord braid and the toy now lasts a very long time. My dog and I play with this toy everyday on our morning hike. He is a large German Shepherd with high ball drive. He carries this ball in his mouth several miles on our morning hike. We play fetch in the fields near our home and in the lake beyond the fields with this toy every day. This toy is his reward in obedience training and we play a lot of tug with it every day. Reinforcing the handle has made a huge difference as the toy lasts and lasts now with the improved rope. Great ball, we will always have a collection of them at our house!

My German shepherd love this toy! Great to take on walks with you as light weight and can fit in your pocket. Stands up to the toughest of play. Great as reward toy for training in place of treats! We always have one on hand at home or out and about!

Great for big dogs
Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1
Our pup is now 15 months old (nearly 110 lb and still growing). We got this ball when he was 3 or 4 months old. GOODS - - Our pup fetches with extreme drive, and the rope helps him quickly snatch the ball off the ground (versus a tennis ball, in which we are worried he will go head over heels at times) - Our pup also loves to play fetch in the water, and this ball floats great and again, the rope gives another point to bite onto - The yellow color is easy to see, even in grass - Our pup typically fetches the ball, and leaves the rope mostly out of his mouth. So, throwing the ball doesn't result in saliva-covered hands - It's pretty easy to throw the ball 50', and possible to throw it 100' - It doesn't roll/bounce, so if you are for example playing fetch on your front lawn and are concerned with a tennis ball rolling into the street, this one alleviates that issue - Our pup is spoiled and has several balls. This is absolutely his go to ball. We have woken up in the morning before to see him standing next to the bed with the ball in his mouth, asking us to get up and play. BADS - - Occasionally when he goes to fetch it, he will step on the rope as he tries to pull up on the ball. - We have gotten this ball stuck in trees multiple times. In fact, there is one stuck on the roof of our church from playing fetch on the lawn there. :-/ Not a fault of the ball, but if you start whipping it around like nunchucks, it might not go where you want. - The near max you can through this ball is 100'. And since it doesn't roll/bounce, throw distance is throttled. We often play fetch in a local baseball field, and have no issue wearing him out with this ball. However, if you are planning on throwing a ball the distance of half a football field, you might want to consider something else. SIZE - - We purchased both the medium and the large. Even though our pup is huge and can fit a soccer ball in his mouth, he still prefers the medium. It's easier for him to get in his mouth and breath while running back. The medium is the size of an orange, whereas the large is the size of a grapefruit. DURABILITY - - We have gone through about 4 of these balls, BUT this is because we lost 3 of them. We believe he dropped one out of the car window while we were driving, one is on the roof of our church, and I forget about the other one. On the first one we had, the stitching behind the black tape was down to a few threads after about 5 months. Given duration we use these balls (every day) and the joy he gets from them, I feel the durability is good for the price. - We do play tug with the ball at times, and no issues there Enjoy!

Good but better options out there.
Good ball, but is a cheaper version of the Foamster sold online. The rope is cheap and comes apart, and can be abrasive to a dogs mouth. The Foamster uses a higher quality ball and are more durable and use grippy biothane straps rather than cheap rope. They are also made to order in the USA with lots of fun colors. Worth the extra money if your dog likes these balls.

Fun toy for fetch
Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1
Daisy loves this toy. I found it from her dog trainer, and it makes rewarding her with a quick tug of war and fetch really easy. Also it’s shockingly durable. It looks like foam, but she has not destroyed this one.
