ABOUT PATRICK KING:
Like you, Patrick seeks to be an eternal student of the horse and the horsemen that have come before him - and he feels it is his duty to share the knowledge that he has gained along his journey. Throughout the year, he travels around helping people and their horses through his clinics, camps, workshops, and expo demonstrations. His students are of all levels and disciplines, from Grand Prix Dressage riders to more casual riders that aren’t interested in competing but are still very serious about their horsemanship. What Patrick teaches is not so much an exercise or drill, as so many other clinicians and trainers teach, but a feel. It’s a feel that becomes a connection and a synchronicity of two minds and two bodies, the horse and the human.
From classical dressage masters to old time vaqueros, Patrick’s teachers and mentors have afforded him layers of insight and experience that enable him to bridge the gap between foundation training and advanced horsemanship.

Nice video

I love the way everything you teach makes perfect sense. You give an explanation on how it works and why. It makes it so easy to follow and remember when working with the horse.

I like to see that you allow the horse to stretch down if it wants to. I follow another trainer who teaches stretching through the topline... Great video thanks

Nice to see grass and not snow lol

[@mapk100]

You have just come up on my radar. I love the way you were explaining things...just what I need to know at this moment...yay clarification...thank you

I recently came upon this video. This manner of teaching the horse to bend while moving forward seems to be novel compared to many trainers who are just teaching the horse to disengage and move sideways.Thank you.

[@jcarroccio7844]

very interesting. I'm rather clumsy, don't know if this would be advisable for me. Probably break it the first time out! ;0

[@carowheat]

easier to understand than Manola Mendez

[@conniepaschall8313]

Why? Also, rope halters should not used for lunging, the outside rope hits the eye. She braces because the knots are used to cause pain. Try a true lunging cavesson for roundness and stability. My opinion only.

The square up link does not work. Get a page not found response. Another try went to the square up site.

So, if your horse were to step on that fine little piece at the end of the wand and break it, could a person get a new end piece? 😣 (I wish this was a hypothetical problem)

[@sarahbrooks8591]

Hi, can you ride with this wand?

[@PatrickKingHorsemanship]

You could if you were wanting to direct another horse while horseback. It would be too long to use as an aid for the horse you're riding.
