GENERAL
TRAINING SESSIONS: to work with you and your horse on groundwork and trust building. This helps overcome
many problems that owners experience with their horses both on the ground and in ridden work (Please note I do not teach riding,
however many ridden problems can be overcome by improving the partnership with your horse on the ground)
MANNERS: Training for bargy/difficult to lead horses
SPOOK BUSTING: is your horse terrified of plastic
bags, umberella's, hose-pipes, clippers etc? I can help overcome these fears
FARRIER: Help for horses that are reluctant
to have their feet picked up, or are difficult with the farrier
NON-LOADERS: I have a 100% success rate in dealing with non-loaders! I work with horse and owner to overcome difficulties
with loading into trailers or lorries
LONG-LINING
SESSIONS: This is a great way to help your horse get fit. It is also very useful for young or inexperienced
horses as it builds confidence and balance before you even get on
ROUND PEN TRAINING: Learn how to create
a better bond and understanding with your horse through a language that he understands. I own a moveable
round-pen so can come to your yard and quickly assemble it there if necessary
EARLY EDUCATION: I specialise in handling untouched foals and young horses - starting them in a non-traumatic
way. This includes first touch all over, first leg handling (in prep for farrier - YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT YOUR FARRIER TO TRAIN
YOUR HORSE!), first head collar and lead work, tie up and loading if necessary to give you a go anywhere do anything well
mannered youngster.
