OFF THE HORSE COURSE
By Tristan Tucker

Learn the patterns first. Bring them to your horse second. So the first time your horse sees it, you already know it.

Twenty short video lessons that teach you the TRT groundwork patterns without a horse in front of you, so your hands, your rope and your timing are ready before your horse is part of it.

WHO IS THE OFF THE HORSE COURSE FOR?

Your horse should not have to sit through your learning curve.

  • The rider learning on a live animal

    You watch the video, walk out, and try to remember step three while your horse is already moving. Your horse reads the hesitation before you do and learns that you are not sure. Every pattern goes better when it is not new to you.

  • The rider with no horse in front of her right now

    Your horse is on box rest, you are between horses, you ride at a school, or it is dark and wet and the yard is closed. The desire to get better does not stop because the riding does.

  • The rider who wants the theory to land

    You have seen the patterns done. Doing them is different: which hand, which distance, when to release. That is motor learning, and motor learning wants repetition without a thousand-pound partner waiting.

Sound familiar?

  • You re-watch the same lesson three times and still fumble it in the arena.
  • Your rope always seems to be in the wrong hand.
  • You know what should happen, and you cannot make your body do it.
  • Your horse gets impatient while you work out what comes next.
  • You have TRT courses you have watched but never really practised.
  • You have no horse available right now and want to keep going anyway.
  • You would rather make your mistakes before your horse is watching.

"You do not need to be a beginner for this to be worth doing. Riders who have worked the method for years use it to clean up patterns that quietly drifted."

THE REAL PROBLEM

Your horse responds to what your body is doing.

Everything the TRT Method asks of a horse depends on a clear question. A pattern done half right does not read as half a question to your horse; it reads as tension: hesitation in your hands, a rope that tightens by accident, a release that comes a second late. Your horse answers the tension, not the exercise, and then everyone concludes the exercise did not work.

The exercise was fine. It had not been learned yet.

So we take your horse out of the learning process. You practise the body awareness, the patterns and the tools on your own, at a speed that suits a human learning something new. When you bring it to your horse, the question is clean the first time, and a clean question is the whole method.

Your instructor

Meet Tristan Tucker.

Tristan spent years working with horses at the top of the sport, and with the horses that were not coping with it. What he kept finding was the same thing: the behaviour everyone was trying to train away was a body that had never learned how to come back down.

The TRT Method came out of that, and it is now used by more than 122,000 riders in over 90 countries.

The Off The Horse Course exists because Tristan kept seeing the same thing in clinics: riders who understood the idea and whose hands had not caught up yet. This is the part you can practise without a horse paying for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before you decide.

Only for the last part, and even that is optional. Everything before it you do on your own. A partner makes the timing lesson better, it does not gate the course.

No. That one is about your position, hands and timing in the saddle. This one is about the groundwork patterns and tools, learned without a horse. They sit next to each other and neither replaces the other.

The patterns will be familiar. What is different is that here you practise them yourself, step by step, instead of watching them done to a horse. Most riders find the gap in their own execution within the first two parts.

No. You pay once and keep lifetime access, including all future updates.

You have a 30-day money back guarantee. Email us within 30 days of your purchase and you get every cent back.

For life. There is no time limit and all future updates to the course are included.

In the TRT member area, on any phone, tablet or computer, whenever it suits you and your horse.
