From Strong to Light and Soft (in 28 Days)
The complete Listen-While-You-Ride Audio Course that transforms heavy, rushing horses into soft, balanced, rideable partners — IN ONLY 28 DAYS.
"A strong horse doesn't become light by being held. It becomes light when the communication becomes clear and the self-carriage is established"
— Dan Bizzarro
The Transformation
See the difference when a horse learns to carry itself in balance.
Heavy on the forehand, rushing, pulling against the rider
Balanced, soft in the contact, listening to the rider
Does This Sound Like Your Horse?
Leans heavily on your hands
Gets faster the more you try to slow down
Rushes into or away from jumps
Ignores your half-halts
Feels out of control in canter
Gets stronger when nervous or excited
These aren't behaviour problems. They're balance problems.
And balance problems have a simple solution — when you know how.
From Strong to Light and Soft in 28 Days
A structured, ride-along audio course designed to help you develop a lighter, softer, more self-carrying horse through better balance, clearer aids, and progressive training.
You listen to each lesson while you ride, so the work happens in real time — with your own horse, in your normal routine.
A clear sequence that builds real change
This course is made up of six audio lessons, designed to be followed in order. Each lesson builds on the previous one. The sequence matters.
That's because lightness doesn't come from a single exercise — it comes from developing the right foundations, in the right order:
While the lessons can be repeated and revisited as needed, following the sequence ensures you don't skip the steps that actually make the difference.
What the course focuses on
Most strong horses aren't difficult — they're trying to balance themselves the only way they know how.
In this course, you'll learn how to:
The emphasis is on how the horse carries himself, not on managing the symptoms. This reflects the principles of the Dan Bizzarro Method: helping horses move better by improving posture, balance, and understanding — rather than forcing outcomes.
How and where to use the lessons
You don't need a perfect arena or ideal conditions. The ideas are designed to be adaptable, so you can apply them in your normal riding environment.
How the course works
Each lesson gives you:
• A focus for the ride
• Specific exercises
• What you should feel changing
• Common mistakes to avoid
The course is designed to be followed over 28 days, but you can move at a pace that suits you and your horse.
