Learning

Learning never stops. Whether it’s learning more about your horse and its communication and language with you, learning how you can communicate better with it, or learning more about the foundations of horsemanship and riding skills.

Relationships

To achieve ‘success’ with your horse, you need to have a good relationship. Success can be anything from having the confidence to go for a pleasure ride, to mastering new skills, to achieving desired outcomes. Your relationship should be a union based on trust and understanding.

Confidence

Have you lost your confidence? Had a scare with your horse? Been out of the saddle for too long and don’t know where to begin? Our Foundation Horse clinics are the ideal way to get your confidence back. We start with ground work and go from there. Suitable for all disciplines and experiences.
