Episode 109: Michele Pouliot Pt 3 Building A Freestyle Routine
Listen now
Description
In Part 3 Michele Pouliot describes how she assembles a freestyle routine using back chaining. In Parts 1 and 2 of our conversation with Michele we learned how she uses platforms to teach the foundation behavior that she uses in her freestyle routines.

So even if you can't see yourself ever teaching a liberty freestyle routine, there's a lot here for horse people.
