Training For Optimal Balance™
© 2009 Kirsten Nelsen
Training for Optimal Balance is the system I developed, use and teach with all types of horses from rescues to performance
. The entire training program is mapped out in the table below 
to provide more detail about the concepts, theory and skills involved. You can read through the entire training program or segments of it to gain a better understanding of my philosophies and application.
The skills required for complete and thorough foundation training are broken into four distinct courses. Each course addresses a specific area of training that can be used for problem solving or improving performance. Although the training is systematic, you are never required to learn this system in order. Training for Optimal Balance is a flexible system that offers a rider or horse appropriate help for their current situation. The system is designed to be beneficial no matter the entry point. Horses and riders can always work backwards if needed.
