I love my technology, and I think there is a lot of possibilities for using the features in smartphones to teach some of the 'big concepts' in horsemanship. So I've been working designing ways feel, timing & balance can be taught using the technology in iPhone & iPads... including the following:
  • Soft feel
  • Footfall
  • Getting in time with the horses feet
  • A balanced horse at halt
  • Using a change of balance at halt to prepare to move one foot laterally
  • Ask your horse to concentrate physically and mentally on your work together
  • Teaching personal space
  • Backup with soft feel
  • Always do less
  • Feeling for & of the horse

There would be a lot of development work involved making it, so I have opened it up for crowdfunding.. people can support from £7 to help get the app made & in return there are various rewards... I've made a video for it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuLRarv18bs

You can view the full details here: http://www.indiegogo.com/Equestrian-app-Feel-balance-and-timing

If you were able to share this or support, that'd be amazing.

Thanks hugely :)
