In the Microshaping DVD you learned how to be a better visual observer. Now in the Microriding lesson you'll learn how to be a better kinesthetic observer. We'll explore the three circuits that create a grounded, connected, body-aware, energized rider.

The Three Microriding Circuits:

The Grounding Circuit
The Crown Circuit
The Diaphragm Circuit

Learn what these circuits are and how they can be used in riding. Microriding is a process that is unique to my work. It evolved out of the Microshaping strategy. Originally, I wanted a way for people to experience Microshaping from the horse's perspective. What emerged from that experiment was a phenomenal way to help riders tap into the the invisible \"micro\" of great riding. The original lesson was a two disc, 4 hour long lesson so this is truly an information rich resource.

The Microriding process can help every rider communicate with greater clarity and subtlety.

This DVD can be watched at any point in the series. In fact, this lesson is easy to lift out of the clicker training structure in which it evolved to use in other more traditional riding lessons. If you are taking lessons, you might want to share it with your instructor. Who knows, you might find it's a great way to introduce people to the rest of clicker training!

This DVD was first produced in March 2009.

Alexandra Kurland has been working since the early 1990s to bring clicker training into the horse world.

Her area of particular interest is the development of a horse's balance: physical and emotional. Helping horses stay sound throughout a long lifetime is the goal. The result are beautiful horses that feel like heaven to ride. Her work can be applied to any breed, discipline, and age.

In 1998 Alexandra launched the rapidly growing field of clicker training for horses with the publication of her first book, “Clicker Training for Your Horse”.
She has also written “The Click That Teaches: A Step–By–Step Guide in Pictures” and “The Click That Teaches: Riding with the Clicker”. She has also produced The Click That Teaches DVD lesson series, plus an on-line training course, and an extensive library of articles in her blog: theclickercenterblog.com. She also produces the weekly Equiosity podcast - an exploration of all things equine with a special emphasis on the horse-human bond.

Alexandra teaches clicker training geared to any horse need or sport—including developing a gentle and companionable riding horse, working with foals and weanlings, training advanced performance horses, and helping difficult to handle horses.

Prior to the pandemic, Alexandra traveled widely giving clicker training clinics and presenting at conferences in the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. She has been on the faculty of The Clicker Expo since it’s beginning almost twenty years ago.
Her clinic teaching has now shifted on-line so wherever you are in the world, you and your horse can learn directly from Alexandra.
