Friday June 10, Saturday June 11, Sunday June 12, 2011. The weekend is set-up to introduce the work in hand to therapists, riders and trainers as well as in furthering their knowledge and practical application of this work in hand. June 10 is a repeat of Immersion One. June 11 is a pertinent analysis of the horse's locomotion. A video animation educates one in distinguishing and understanding the braking and pushing phase of the hind and front legs. Sunday 12, the work in hand intermediary level, teaches how to further the horse's collection and introduces the practice of shoulder in and half pass.
One can come for one day or two or three.
The trademark of the Immersion program is to provide the knowledge that supports efficient practical application. Friendly, casual, informative and always with humor, the week end of June 10, 11,and 12 is set to be an even greater success than Immersion One.
The Science of Motion's Certification program is going to be based on credits gained through Videos, clinics, books and Immersion programs. Each day provides credits toward the qualification.
Testimonials from Immersion 1
Science of Motion's Immersion One was very enlightening! Jean Luc Cornille's explanations of how a horse actually moves and what is involved when it collects helped me to better understand what I feel when I ride. His lounging and in-hand demonstrations were fabulous and to have the opportunity to try the in-hand work with one of his own horses was an unforgettable experience! In addition, as a veterinary pathologist, I often see degenerative osteoarthritis in horses, and had many 'Aha' moments as Jean Luc's explanations of equine biomechanics made me understand how abnormal biomechanics induce bone and joint lesions. However, with my understanding comes with a mixture of hope and sadness: hope that in the future fewer horses will be euthanized for preventable or rehabilitatable lamenesses, as more riders, trainers and veterinarians become enlightened by Jean Luc's method; and sadness for all those beautiful, talented horses that might have been brought back to soundness, or even never gone lame, if his methods were better known.
