Some of what we cover in this video may feel like beginner-level material, I want to encourage you to approach it with fresh eyes. While the topics might seem familiar, I promise there’s always something new to notice, something you may have forgotten, or a new way of looking at the same principles.
In Horsemanship 102 we take everything you learned about how horses think and feel and put it into action. This video is all about early handling, communication, and creating clarity for your OTTB as they begin their new life. CJ breaks down everyday training moments, the 4-phase ask system, round pen work, and the foundations of under-saddle training so you can build confidence, trust, and true partnership with your horse, step by step.
This video offers a set of guiding principles meant to support you throughout your journey with your horse. These are not strict rules, but foundational ideas you can return to whenever things feel challenging. This lesson helps you reset, refocus, and reconnect so your horse feels safe, understood, and confident in your partnership.
In this video, CJ introduces the Dually halter and long line, two foundational tools used with every horse at Win Place Home to create clear, fair communication from the very beginning. You’ll learn all about it as well as how to fit and use it correctly. CJ also walks through the basics of leading, showing how it becomes an ongoing conversation built on connection and trust. This lesson sets the tone for safe, confident handling and a strong partnership from the first step.
