Discovering all about each new horse or rider combination, working out what clicks for them and watching their progression gives me a high! For the Riders:
My mission is to provide an educational atmosphere where every rider leaves every lesson with a positive feeling and where all questions are welcomed. To increase the understanding of how to achieve the next goal or why the ride didn't go as p
lanned! To help improve the foundations of correct riding and show that this is the way to create a relaxed and happy rider and horse! To help riders realise that there is no magic involved in horse training, just method and consistency and praise - for the horse and rider!! With education, consolidation and knowledge we open the doors to a world of being able to really enjoy our riding. For the Horses:
Every horse is different and wonderful in their own way. We all love our horses and put their every need first. Our goal as riders is to be able to inform the horse exactly what we want, in a way which they understand and and can perform. Keeping everything simple, systematic and calm is the best way I have found to create happy, relaxed athletes from the very baby stages to the top competitors in every discipline, in the stable, as well as while riding. Working with the basics of the scales of training and then adapting the type of work and the amount of time spent in exercise changes for every horse. If the groundwork of the foundations are there, the probability that you will have a sound horse for many years to come is increased 100%.
