What we offer

Individual Training Sessions & Instruction

First Training Session

Initial Interview

• Brief introduction of the approach
• Questionnaire - record information about the horse

Goal Setting

Initial Training Session

• First meeting with the horse
• First impression of the character and potential of the horse
• Initial training exercises

Subsequent Training Sessions

• Length and content depend on the goal setting, personality and learning speed of the horse and handler / rider
• Learning by watching – the handler's / rider's learning experience is enhanced through watching the trainer demonstrate the exercises
• Handler / rider can work with the horse and put new approaches and exercises into practice and receive immediate feedback or advice
• Sessions may include body work for the horse (stretching, flexing, bending), body awareness exercises for the rider, groundwork games and exercises, ridden games and exercises
• There will be plenty of opportunities for questions and exchange
• Case notes of each session can be kept, reporting what exercises have been done. The case notes will be complemented by photos at regular intervals. This is a great way for the handler / rider to keep track of developments and progress of the work, as well as being a good reminder of how to do particular exercises.

The above is a general outline only. Sessions will be tailored to meet the individual requirements of each horse and handler / rider and take into account their unique background and current circumstances.
