Fostering good communication and true understanding between you and your horse is the basis of everything we do. To help you achieve this, we offer tuition through lessons or clinics, during which we work with you and your horse.

We begin with simple – but powerful – groundwork that serves a purpose under saddle. It is an opportunity for you to develop a solid foundation with your horse on which to build a rewarding and lasting relationship.

How your horse sees you on the ground will determine how he sees you on his back. It also helps ensure your horse is calm and able to learn. Just like people, horses learn best when they are calm – mentally, emotionally and physically. Calmness in your horse will help you achieve obedience and suppleness, and therefore better control of his mind and body.

That means we have to focus not only on what you need to do physically, but also on how to do it emotionally and mentally. Just as your horse needs to be emotionally supple, you need to develop that same suppleness to understand how you affect your horse and to be able to send the correct messages and requests both on the ground and under saddle.
