Advanced Training

Once a horse has a basic foundation established, it's time to introduce lateral movements such as shoulder-fore, shoulder-in, haunches-in (travers), haunches-out (renvers), leg yield, side-pass and half-pass. These help to develop self-carriage, healthy posture and suppleness in the horse. We carefully select tack and training tools that work best for individual horses based on their conformation and preferences. Advanced training includes plenty of trail riding and exposure to experiences such as working with cattle, mechanical cow and attending clinics and Working Equitation training days.

We offer a variety of horse training services, tailored to your needs. We keep you closely involved to ensure long term benefits and learning for both you and your horse. Many riders have big dreams for their young horses. It's important to understand that a horse who has been started under saddle will not become a reliable schoolmaster overnight. The start is exactly as the name suggests, a ‘start’ to the horse’s learning under saddle. Having a horse accept saddle and rider and basic aids is generally the easy part. Doing this with the horse being relaxed and confident is more challenging. It is the consistent and clear training that follows that will build on the foundation and understanding by the horse to become willing and soft under saddle.
