Who are we and what do we do? So I’m Rhiannon Donoghue the face behind the business based here in Faringdon. I am both a western and English rider having ridden all my life and taken up western riding 11 years ago. I come from a horsemanship background, with further development of knowledge and education, I now take a science based approach to training combined with proven horsemanship techniques to work through undesirable behaviours and to place a correct foundation on young and uneducated horses. Here we offer a variety of services on top of behaviour modification, including but not limited to schooling, breaking, full livery and lessons. Having competed in all aspects of the English community including but not limited to showing, working hunter, dressage, show jumping and having hunted with different packs. In the western industry my knowledge and experience is in creating a well rounded ranch horse, barrel horses and the retraining of English horses to western. Having worked in the racing/ retraining industry for a few years, I have a variety of experiences working with different horses allowing us to work with every horse on a case by case basis. Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
