In this video we are going to review a basic skill in horse management – leg wraps! I will show you how to apply standing wraps, which are used to protect an injury, prevent stocking up, or support a horse’s legs during shipping. I will talk about and demonstrate how and when to use polo wraps, plus the differences between the two types of wrap material.

This past week, I had three clients notice that their horses were becoming difficult to bridle, and on closer inspection found that the horses lips
As the temperatures drop, you may notice your horse’s weight dropping as well. It is important to be extra watchful of your horse’s body condition
I have received quite a few questions lately regarding difficulties with picking up and cleaning out horses hooves. In my experience teaching new riders, this
I signed up for the Balanced Riding course after watching Callie on YouTube. I’ve learned so much from this course. As you start riding when you’re young, you learn the fundamentals, but then you drift so far away from them in different skills that you’re learning that you sometimes kind of forget or don’t appropriately utilize those fundamentals anymore. And she’s really brought me back to that level of understanding specifically how to ride with the seat. And I think that’s kind of the most powerful thing you can learn to do as a rider, is to sit your horse appropriately, not have to rely so much on your reins. So that’s been huge, just completely changed the way I ride.
I just want to say thank you to everyone for all the comments and positive comments I have read while on this site. I have taken many of the free courses offered by CRK training over the past few months and it has help with my confidence. I actually rode my daughter’s horse for the first time outside in the ring since she came home from a free lease September. I have practiced many of the lessons and watched many videos. It was just at a walk but I felt confident with every thing I have learnt so far, plus I have learnt that I am not the only one who gets nervous and that it is okay to be nervous and thanks to Callie’s lessons I have learnt to take one day at a time and work though the times I feel nervous.
As a new horse owner and rider I wanted a training series that would walk me through each step of equitation for a beginner. That is exactly what I got with the CRK Balanced Rider Series. Callie King is a talented horse trainer and accomplished rider and it shows through each of her videos. She is clear and concise when discussing her insider knowledge of horse care, training, and riding.
As with all of the work Callie does, this program is informative, thoughtful, evidence based. The course provides good resources on horsemanship, managing fear, developing confidence. The videos of “how to” help your horse manage his fear were particularly good (in that) helping my horse manage moments of fear, helps me to manage mine.
This is why I so enjoy your videos and webinars. Your approach is so positively based and therefore so kind and gentle while still being very effective. You work with the horse and not against him.
THANK YOU!

This is such an important lesson. Thanks for sharing, Callie.
Hey you should do a video on how to roll them correctly!
Good idea – thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Callie. Thank you for that lesson. I always had questions in wrapping but didn’t really think to ask in depth !
Can’t hear the people talking for all the loud music. Can you fix that?
Hi Rebecca,
Perhaps this comment ended up under the wrong video, I just double checked it and didn’t hear any music!
Very informative and concise, thank you once again Callie.
