Enhance your natural horsemanship

Listen to your horse, pay attention to detail, even something as simple as the way you catch and lead your horse can make a big difference to the way he sees you. There’s always a reason for your horses’ behaviour. There’s no such thing as a naughty or bad horse just a misunderstood one. For example, a horse that starts to refuse fences could have a bad back. Or a horse that bites when you tack him up could have a badly fitting saddle. It’s up to us to find out the cause of behaviour and help gently resolve it.

A bargy horse is often seen as rude but it is down to us to explain to the horse in a kind and consistent way how we would like the horse to be around us.

Horses are continually trying to communicate with us and it is up to us to notice and take care of the little things so the big things don’t happen.  You couldn’t do anything with a horse without their willingness to try. It’s vital you reward even the smallest try.

We look forward to being part of your journey
