Dream it.

If you can dream it, you can achieve it. My role is to guide you along a pathway and give you puzzle pieces to fit together and play with to gain more self empowerment to reach your goals.

I believe horses and people do not learn well under pressure. My aim is to promote an environment of love, reward and kindness where learning can happen, mistakes can be treated with grace and encouragement is always on hand.

Learn it.

My specialty is balance and understanding how the horse’s and human’s balance of mind and body can limit or allow them to reach a goal. When in balance, movement becomes easy and effortless and lightness and harmony are established.

Groundwork

Working with the horse online, in hand or at liberty to find a calm mind and a balanced body. Much of the teaching centers on relaxation and softness in the mind and body to have the connection with the horses feet to communicate ideas in the airspace around them without creating emotional offence.

Feel of. Feel for. Feel together.

Riding

From first ride to advanced work, bit, bitless, bridleless, saddle or bareback. I cover it all with the overall focus on lightness, harmony and finding shared balance between horse and rider.

Work must begin with the horse accepting of following your ideas and then seeking to offer the best request to find the appropriate outcome in that moment. Using classical principles of education for a horse and a rider learning three simple things:

Line of travel. Speed of Gait. Body posture and position.

Conveyed through energy this is the foundation for the art of riding!
