“To establish a good relationship with a horse while teaching it something, the approach should not involve making the horse learn it, but rather letting it learn it on its own.”
Who am I?
As a horse trainer, I specialise in using a unique blend of (western)horsemanship and Vertical dressage techniques to bring out the best in your horse. With over two decades of experience, I have honed my skills to create a training program that is effective and enjoyable for horse and rider alike.
Vertical Dressage combines classical dressage principles with the feel and mentality of horsemanship, creating a harmonious relationship between horse and rider. Horsemanship focuses on the foundation skills and understanding of horse behaviour, helping to build trust and respect between horse and human.
In addition to training riders, I also offer re-training services for horses. I have a proven track record of successfully rehabilitating horses with behavioural issues and helping them reach their full potential. My approach to re-training is centred around patience, understanding, and clear communication. I take the time to get to know each horse as an individual, identifying their strengths and weaknesses, and tailoring my approach to meet their specific needs.
Whether your horse is in need of basic obedience training or has more complex behavioural issues such as fear, aggression, or anxiety, I am confident that my methods can help.
FAQs
-
Certainly, you can agist your horse at Wildcroft during its training. You have the option to choose between a shared paddock or a private paddock. The duration of the training will depend on the horse's individual needs and learning abilities. There are no fixed weeks, as it all depends on what needs to be accomplished and how quickly the horse adapts to the new training approach.
-
In general, I do not require to see or ride the horses before accepting them for training. However, there are exceptions where the owner and I need to assess whether my training will be suitable for the horse. In such cases, travel expenses and time will be charged.
-
The cost of re-training depends on the specific issues that need to be addressed and the level of risk involved for the trainer. It is important to assess the horse's problem thoroughly before determining the cost of training.
