Learn how to work with your horse, with softness and feel.

Build a lasting relationship with your horse, based on trust and acceptance.

Overcome problems like bracing, pulling away, shying, napping, bucking.

Develop a harmony with your horse on the ground and in the saddle.

Based at Roxwell, near Chelmsford in Essex, I am happy to help horses and their people anywhere as long as it is practical to reach them. I routinely visit Essex, Kent, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, East Sussex and will travel further afield by special arrangement. 

Lessons

Lessons are offered by the hour, they may be private or shared.  You may want to work on specific issues with your horse or have guidance in your horsemanship programme.

Lessons are charged at an hourly rate plus a mileage charge.

Learning to engage the horse’s mind takes much more mental than physical energy from the horse and rider.  One hour of tuition passes very quickly, so two or three hours is realistic and recommended when getting started.

Clinics

A great way to have fun and learn from other people and other horses.  Get together with like-minded people and spend one or two days exploring new dimensions of horsemanship.  Realise the potential of your horse when he starts to truly work with you, or at least understand why he may be resisting, is impulsive or gets emotional.

Organise your friends, hire a venue and invest some time in your horsemanship. (An indoor facility is not essential but it may be preferable for your comfort during the winter months.)  For 2-6 people.

Travel and accommodation costs are to be shared between all participants.

Trailer Loading

Is your horse fearful of travelling or maybe he just doesn’t feel like getting into the trailer?

I will spend the morning working with your horse to help him overcome those fears or reservations.  After a break, I will then ensure that you too can confidently load your horse into your lorry or trailer.

Trailer loading (full day allocated) £130 plus mileage
Half day option may be appropriate in some circumstances.

Foundation Work

Invest in a solid foundation so that your horse can easily go on to perform in his chosen career, be that a safe hack or a top competition horse.

I will work with your horse to help him to tune in mentally and to move his feet with softness and feel.

Problem Solving

Owning a horse should be fun and rewarding.  Unfortunately it often turns out to be frustrating and at times dangerous.

Does your horse have behaviours you would rather he did not have?  Does he nap, shy, buck or pull away?  By reading your horse, I can try and understand why he feels he has to do these things, and will try and help him find a better way.

Equine Touch Practitioner and Instructor

A gentle non invasive form of bodywork, evolved to reduce the pain spiral and guide the horse towards balance and optimum functionality. Described by leading vets as “the ultimate hands on modality for horses”.

Equine Touch helps horses get release physically from tensions, imbalance and blockages.  As horse behaviour issues often stem from current or remembered pain, either physical or emotional, Equine Touch compliments the Equine Ethology approach to help horses through these issues.  More details click here.
