Missing Concepts Series of Clinics
(Concepts often overlooked in the equine industry)
This series of clinics is targeted at thinking individuals who feel, or have experienced that there are elements missing in the industry or who feel that ideas are very separate and don’t tie well together.
Each clinic in this series targets an area of confusion/misunderstanding or a missing concept. Participants must complete the Connection clinic or each clinic in turn, before being able to participate in subsequent MCS clinics.

It is a concept and practice developed by Francois Baucher and over the years has been misunderstood, misused or ignored by professional trainers and amateurs alike.
The release of the jaw can be practiced and attained from the ground or mounted, with a green or a trained horse at any level provided it is done—like any good training—with patience, feel and much sensitivity.
