On the final day of the 2015 George H. Morris Horsemastership Training Sessions, the riders tested their new found knowledge over a course designed by Steve Stephens.
On the infamous no-stirrups day of the George Morris clinic, riders learned the importance of using a "take and give" method of getting their mounts to submit to their hand.
"Practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect," said George Morris on Day 3 of the George H. Morris Horsemastership Clinic, as his students practiced finding distances, forming a connection with their horses, and more.
On Day 2 of his clinic, George Morris stressed the fundamental importance of keeping a light, forward seat as the riders worked their horses over trot fences, combinations, liverpools and more.
