Having a horse that leads well and has good ground manners is paramount for safety and to build a quality relationship with your horse. Most problems start on the ground and having a solid foundation on the ground with your horse will allow you to progress much more safely and easier under saddle. Groundwork not only builds a horse’s confidence and softness it is also vital to help the horse to use its body in a bio-mechanically correct way in order to encourage self-collection and lifetime soundness.
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.
