Horse welfare first and foremost

AMT Equestrian Services helps horse owners find more joy and connection with their horse by building a solid foundation for life-long soundness. I offer horsemanship coaching and clinics as well as horse training services and regularly host world renowned clinicians, instructors and other equine professionals. AMT Equestrian is managed by Andrew Turnbull who has a deep love and passion for helping horses get along better with people and helping horse owners become more connected, skillful and understanding with horses. Andrew has a unique skill set to empower horse owners to deepen their relationship with their horse and progress on their horsemanship journey. Each year I ride and train my own horses with world renowned horsemen and women and learn from other professionals to continuously build on my knowledge, skills and awareness. Always searching for better and kinder ways to train, ride and manage my horses, I have gone in search across the world to find trainers, clinicians and practitioners who resonate and teach horsemanship that puts the horse’s welfare first and foremost and builds on the deep connection, trust, softness and feel that represents true mastery in horsemanship. AMT Equestrian’s focus is on working with horses in a holistic way that benefits the horses’ biomechanics and way of motion to build soundness as well as mental, behavioural and emotional well being.

A useful lesson should leave you with something you can continue at home.

That does not need to be a long list. One exercise, one change to your position or one clearer way to ask may be enough to shape the next few rides.

Write down the points that mattered while they are still fresh. Then give yourself and your horse time to work through them without expecting everything to be perfect immediately.

🐴 Good horses, good people and a weekend of learning together!

Whether you're working through a few challenges, looking to improve your riding or simply keen to spend time with like-minded horse people, we'd love you to join us at AMT in the Perth Hills on 14 & 15 November!

No pressure, no expectations of perfection, just a friendly, supportive environment where everyone is encouraged to learn at their own pace.

🌿 Saturday is all about foundations, with groundwork and in-hand exercises focusing on communication, connection, balance and building confidence.

🐎 Sunday takes things into the saddle, working on rider position, clearer aids, softness and helping our horses better understand what we're asking.

With small groups of just 4–6 riders, there's plenty of opportunity for individual guidance, questions and a few laughs along the way!

All levels welcome, from beginners to experienced riders, green horses to established partnerships. English or Western, everyone has a place.

And if you're curious but not quite ready to participate, fence sitters are welcome FREE of charge!
Come along, watch, ask questions and enjoy the atmosphere.

This is all part of our growing AMT clinic series, bringing people together to learn, share experiences and enjoy their horses.

Better Horses. Better People. Better Together.

Heading into a clinic with a long list of things to fix can feel overwhelming.

Try bringing one clear question instead. It might be about balance, an aid that is not understood or a moment when you and your horse regularly lose each other.

A focused question gives the lesson somewhere practical to begin and often uncovers useful answers in other areas too.

Small-group training gives riders room to learn without disappearing into the crowd.

With small groups there is time for individual guidance as well as the chance to watch other horses work through different questions. Those observations can be just as useful as the minutes spent in the saddle.

If you enjoy thoughtful training in a supportive setting, to learn about upcoming clinics with myself on November 14/15th or with Manolo October 30/31 & November 1st follow the link to our website

Sometimes we ask with the leg, hold with the hand and shift our weight, all at once.

The horse then has to work out which part of the question matters.

Try making one clear request, then allow a moment for the horse to respond. If the answer is not there, check the aid and ask again with purpose. Clear aids give the horse a fair chance to understand and help the rider recognise what actually produced the response.

12/10/2026

Horses have a wonderful way of keeping us humble.

Just when we think we have mastered something, they remind us that there is still more to learn. Usually while someone else is watching!

Training can be thoughtful and focused without becoming too serious. A good laugh, a supportive group and the freedom to ask questions all help create an environment where people enjoy learning.

Mark you calendar for a two-day clinic designed to develop clarity, connection and confidence for both horse and rider grounded in classical training principles and supported by modern horsemanship understanding.

Saturday – Foundation & Groundwork Focus

Day one begins with groundwork and in-hand exercises designed to improve:

✔️Posture and rider awareness
✔️Biomechanics and movement patterns
✔️Connection and attunement
✔️Emotional regulation and relaxation
✔️Development of balance and self-carriage

We’ll explore practical exercises that improve communication and build a calm, confident partnership before progressing into ridden work.

Sunday – Riding & Refinement

Day two continues into ridden sessions focusing on:

✔️Correct rider posture and biomechanics
✔️Clarity and refinement of aids
✔️Developing softness, straightness and balance
✔️Self-carriage and responsiveness
✔️Supporting green horses and early education
✔️Addressing issues created by inconsistency or lack of clarity
The emphasis is on correct, progressive training that improves the horse’s understanding while increasing rider feel and effectiveness.

👉Format

Small group sessions (4–6 riders per group)
Morning and afternoon sessions across the weekend
Individualised feedback within group format
Opportunities for one-on-one engagement
Supportive, inclusive learning environment
Suitable for beginners through to advanced riders.

Owners needing help with behavioural or training challenges

Progress does not always arrive with a perfect canter transition or a dramatic before-and-after moment.

Sometimes it looks like a horse standing quietly for a little longer. A rider taking a breath instead of rushing. A difficult exercise becoming slightly easier than it was last week.

Those small changes build trust, confidence and understanding over time.

If you feel stuck or are unsure what to work on next, send us a DM. A fresh set of eyes can make a real difference.

06/10/2026

A corner is more than the space between two long sides.

It gives the rider a chance to organise the line, support the outside shoulder and prepare the horse for what comes next. If the corner is rushed or cut off, the next movement often begins without enough balance.

Try riding each corner with a clear plan. Look where you are going, keep the rhythm steady and notice whether the horse follows the line or falls through it.
