Horsemanship The Classical training-stages are a simple recipe for the education system that a riding horse must undergo to meet the high expectations of its owner. We must keep in mind that the horse only learns from it´s experience, and every detail and event, both small and big matters. The learning starts right away when the first communication is established and lasts the horse’s whole life. During that time, the trainer also becomes better and better doing his part, so one might say that the Classical training stages are really nothing else but a recipe for good and pleasant horsemanship.
