I believe in a gentle approach to training that honours the horse's natural behaviours and instincts while ensuring their physical and emotional well-being. This dual focus fosters a relationship built on trust, cooperation, and the overall health of your horse.
Central to my philosophy is the belief that the bond between a human and a horse is one of the most profound connections that can be cultivated. My practices emphasise not only respect, empathy, and mutual understanding but also the crucial elements of horse management and well-being.
Through years of training under Monty Roberts' methods, combined with extensive research, learning, and hands-on experience, I have practice a holistic approach to horsemanship. This approach continuously evolves as I grow alongside horses and humans.
Is your horse showing signs of distress or behavioural issues like spooking, bolting, trailer loading, rearing, bucking, resistance to forward movement, mounting block avoidance, aggressiveness, over-excitement, phobias, or becoming uncatchable?
Traditional training methods that rely on force can often exacerbate these problems, leaving both you and your horse frustrated while neglecting the essential aspects of horse management and well-being.
You’ve tried various approaches, but nothing seems to work. The bond with your horse feels strained, and every training program turns into a battle of wills. Your horse’s well-being is at stake, along with the joy of your partnership. Neglecting the horse's overall management can further hinder progress and exacerbate issues.
Through years of dedicated learning and experience, I have adopted a philosophy that emphasises respect, empathy, understanding, and comprehensive horse management.
My approach to horsemanship and hoof care and hoof health honours the natural behaviours and nature of horses while ensuring their well-being is always a priority.
