All the conference sought to explain the meaning of the Natural Horsemanship, according to the National Association of Natural Horsemanship (ANDN): a way to understand and interact with the horse, rather than a different form of dressage. It is based on the study of the horse itself, from different scientific bases, before deciding what to do with the animal. Thus, the goal is to maintain, manage and tame the animal making easy for him to understand, acquiring then their voluntary cooperation.
