Advanced Groundwork with Tara Jones

A Word From Tara…

Educational inspiration is a key factor in all evaluations. Anatomical awareness was brought to light through such teachers as Jillian Kreinbring, and Ivana Ruddock. Tara was also fortunate enough to be able to travel to Australia and work closely with Jose Mendez, a top-level rider who, along with his brother Manolo, studied at the Royal School in Spain. Through timeless classical principles, the rebirth of cavesson training was brought to light. Tara began to reinvent her own style of training through many of our elite industry leaders. With over 25 years of experience, she began to blend the basics of natural horsemanship and colt starting. By intertwining her roots with the science of anatomy and In-hand work, she was able to further combine the connection of musculoskeletal unwinding through bodywork. She has since written her own books and teaches courses and clinics based on her Muscle Modification System. Now it has evolved into her wellness week programs based out of Telford, PA where she runs her own facility. All which have
helped to dive deeper into the internal structure, presenting an alternate option for rehabilitation and reconditioning.
