About AAPH

AAPH New England is an organization dedicated to:

	Enhancing understanding of the existence and use of the natural behavior laws of all equines.
	Exploring how these laws can be incorporated into horsemanship for any purpose, in any discipline, at any level
	Fostering fundamental knowledge of the natural laws, natural movements, fundamental communication skills of equine and handler, and biomechanics of equine and rider

The Categories of Progression™

The Categories of Progression put the working relationship between horse and handler into a practical context from ground work through riding and provide a framework for assessment of the application of skills and understanding of the natural equine laws. The evaluation forms and criteria used as part of the AAPH Horsemanship Meets provide the structure for that assessment.

The Objectives of AAPH are to…

Provide a forum for exploring, learning, sharing, and applying
the innate laws of the horse.
Ë
Provide opportunities through which the natural laws of the horse
can be promoted in the form of horsemanship and in ways
that support one’s own learning style and pace.
