THE ROYAL APPROACH

Your Journey to the Ultimate Horse/Human Relationship Begins Now!

Based on the latest recommendations of leading universities and behavioral scientists, the Royal Approach™ cultivates a horse's behavior, fostering a willing horse/human relationship through connection, communication and conditioning, rather than force or restraint. Developed and presented by professional equine trainer, behavior expert and liberty entertainer Cynthia Royal of the Royal Academy and Equine Psychology Center, this safe, effective approach is based on the most successful practices of how all animals - specifically horses - think, react and learn.

You will learn:

• Why all horses should be started in this way
• How to train, retrain or rehabilitate any horse in a calm, stress-free, positive and mutually rewarding way 
• Why force, restraint, punishment, negative reinforcement and pressure/release-based techniques fail to create the deep relationship we desire
• Effectively communicating through energy, intent and body language
• Leveraging equine psychology, language and culture
• Honoring the horse's mental, emotional and physical needs
• Domestic equine considerations
• Understanding the predator/prey dynamic and reshaping the horse's view of human as predator
• Why circling, lunging, hindquarters disengagement and round penning work against us
• How adding trick training, liberty play and bridleless riding can add to your skill and the confidence and fun for you and your horse
• Equineology™ and the Power of Positive Reward™ positive reinforcement-based techniques used throughout the Royal Approach™

Features detailed information on all aspects of the horse's emotional, intellectual and physical actions and needs as an individual and as a prey, herd animal.  With basic through advanced demonstration and instruction on numerous horses of various age, breed, gender, behavioral challenges training, experience and personality, from fearful or untrusting to confident or aggressive, including several stallions.

Appearances throughout by the most famous living movie-star horse 'Blanco', who played Gandalf the Wizard's horse Shadowfax in the Lord of The Rings movies, The Two Towers and Return of the King.

Whether beginner, competitive rider or lifelong horse enthusiast, this information is a great addition and welcome evolution for anyone interested in learning the secrets of relating to horses in a positive, force-free way.
