Making the most of you and your horses time

Have you ever wanted to bring out the best of you and your horse, but despite putting in the time, you don't move any further forward, or your progress takes weeks and the advances are mediocre.



Once I discovered the techniques of natural horsemanship this changed for me and my horse. My horse stopped wanting to challenge me and wanted to be with me and work as a cooperative partner. This was done through playing leadership games so that my horse developed respect and became a cooperative partner in our horse / rider team.



Imagine practising horse riding so that you and your horse both build up your comfort zones without using whips and force.



All of a sudden horse riding was fun and relaxing - sure it involved homework, but the more involved I became the greater the results and performance level. This was done through building effort and desire, utilising tools and techniques and focusing on where we should be going and following the steps to get there.
