To achieve a lasting working partnership, firstly I
establish basic ground rules and commands. From a clear understanding from the ground, I am then able to work on forwardness followed
by softness, flexion, bend, and contact. Once the horse is accepting and happy with these, we are on the right path for establishing a good
partnership, that can then be transferred over to the owner once the scho
oling period is over. It is our view that ‘forwardness from the leg’ is the key to success with young or green horses, as it is the foundation of training that will
evolve into the next steps of schooling. We work off a ‘pressure & release’ basis, asking clear simple aids and rewarding the horse instantly
for every “yes” answer he gives. We strive to obtain a good feel of the horse, achieve correct elastic contract with natural softness,
straightness, suppleness, and balance through the correct bend. We aim to produce confident relaxed horses that are happy in their work. The horse will learn to relax and concentrate through rhythm, leg, feel and bend. Varied work is important to ensure the horse stays focused
and happy to work so work is split up between the arena, round pen, paddocks and hacking out. We are more than happy to give your horse exposure and schooling in different environments, so optional outings are offered at an extra
cost. Please let us know if you would like us to add a one off or weekly outing to their training program. SERVICES INCLUDE:
