These are a some of the specific areas that I can help you with, but whatever your problem, please get in touch.
-
General Handling. If your horse is hard work to handle, this can ruin your whole relationship and even make you scared of your horse. I can help you if your horse is:
- nervous or over-vigilant.
- aggressive or pushy in the stable.
- difficult to catch or lead.
- New Skills and Unhelpful Habits. Most things that we do to horses are very unnatural for them. I can help your horse to learn new things well and overcome the problems and dangerous behaviours that can happen when they haven’t learnt properly:
- leg handling for the farrier.
- dealing with rugs.
- preparing to be clipped.
- loading and travelling.
- Confidence and New Owners: Having a horse for the first time, or having a new horse can be a bit scary and challenging as well as exciting. I can help you to build your relationship with your horse on strong foundations by helping you to understand more about:
- how horses think and behave.
- the physical aspects of your individual horse.
- Getting started: I can help you to work effectively with your youngsters, so that they have great relationships with people, are ready for their first rider, and are better able to deal with the big, wide world.
