Kind, horse-centred training and support
OBSTACLE SESSIONS
I offer training and support for people who are looking to develop a good relationship with their horse. I cover the North East of England and Yorkshire areas for in person sessions, online and telephone support available out of area.
More than just training
There is so much more to behaviour and performance than just training. To really do the best for our horses we need to factor in all aspects of their life and experiences, not just what happens in the training scenario. I can help you develop the skills to assess how your horse is feeling and use that assessment to make good choices for them. This is how we can develop a truly good relationship which goes way beyond what we can make a horse do for us.
​
Co-operation over compliance
There are many different ways to train horses but if we want to cultivate a good relationship with our horse we need to consider how the training is making them feel, not just how successful it is at getting them to do what we want. When we begin to prioritise our horse's emotional state it can completely transform your experiences together.
​
The importance of posture
Many horses have developed unhelpful posture and compensatory movement patterns that result in poor performance, behavioural issues and potentially physical issues. Many of these things can be helped by changing how we approach working with our horses and starting to gently influence more appropriate posture and movement while keeping things fun for them.
