Often with horse training we like to say that less is more, slower is better⁠—and I believe it to be true.

As horseman, we have the great responsibility to really think, not just about what we are doing, but also about why we are doing it. The wrong course of action on our part will have serious consequences for the horse.

Understanding the intentions behind the horse’s action is essential in determining whether to support an action or correct it. It also determines to what degree you should support or correct. This will affect the confidence of the horse either positively or negatively.

One of the biggest misconceptions in the equestrian world is the idea that we train horses.
The reality?
We don’t—we prove to them that they can trust us more than their own instincts.

So incredibly proud of these two young riders!

Harley is a showjumper who has been training with me for 2 years on the flat. Keeping his horses supple and connected to improve his jumping round (doing what he does best!)
Congratulations on your win!!

Shenae is an eventer who has been training with me for some years. Shenae is passionate and dedicated to her horse and sport. The last two comps her Dressage has shone though and was able to secure her a win after a double clear in the jumping rounds.
So happy for you Shenae!!!

Well done to both of you!
