If not, you can find this on her blog. We have talked "contact" to death, and it means a little something different to everyone, I guess. I'm the kind of learner that needs to FEEL, or experience what I'm trying to learn. Since contact, or should I say engagement???? is what I'm trying to get a feel for with Gunner, I'm thinking the Uber's will be a great way
for my horse and I to get a feel for one another, and progress towards some great engagement in the saddle.
The Uber's are just another path to engagement and collection. It's a good one for me because I get the experience and feel part, doing it this way. It works for me, and I wanted to give ya'll a heads up that it's just starting up and lesson 1 is on line as of today. It's ugly winter, and a great way to spend time with your partner when riding may not be an option.

I'm there, love this week's homework assignment: Sign in.......

Thanks Bit, as usual, for giving us a heads up for CR. I remember reading that she was going to do this BUT it totally slipped my mind

Yeah, I just saw this...maybe we should start a discussion part on it. Keep it up near the top.

okie dokie. Temps still around 10, so will wait until Fri to start this, at least for me. I get a little fussy when I can't feel my hands.

Ok, I made it a Sticky so it will stay at the top.

I had to go to funeral today, so didn't get a chance to read the lesson. I missed last year's class, so I'm looking forward to participating this time.

I'm signed up. Is the format similar to the Insider's Circle Club from last year? I have to admit that I had a bit of trouble getting used to that format. But I'm looking forward to learning about the UEs.

Putting a lot of questions, observations about this to one side, has anybody found any pictures or video of horses being ridden demonstrating the benefits of this method?

I spent over an hour looking and had a hard time even finding anyone mounted in a gait let alone demonstrating half halts, collection, self carriage etc, perhaps I just can’t search, has anyone found any?

It's not the easiest to navigate site. I'm already enrolled for her blog and e-mails. I see the Free UE class, but don't see an enrollment for it. Could someone post the link for it?

Carol, I enrolled just by replying at the bottom of her post to her announcement of the course(the last one I received) on her regular blog(I hope blog is the correct term---the thing she puts out about 2X/week). I received an email from her acknowledging that I was enrolled.

Rik, I'm not a good one to respond to your question because I'm not that familiar with CR but I have never seen her giving any riding instructions. What I know about her info is that it is largely about horse/human behavior(good stuff, imo). But there are people here who are a lot more familiar with her than I am.
