How long will the training process take?

The duration of the training process can vary depending on several factors, including your horse's current level of training, temperament, and the specific goals we're working towards. Typically, we aim for consistency and progress over a period of weeks to months rather than rushing through the process.

What specific techniques or methods do you use in your training?

I primarily utilise natural horsemanship principles, which emphasize understanding and communicating with the horse in a way that aligns with their natural behaviours and instincts. This includes groundwork and riding exercises that prioritise partnership and communication.

Can I visit and observe training sessions?

Absolutely, I encourage owners to observe training sessions whenever possible. It not only provides you with insight into your horse's progress but also allows you to understand the methods and techniques we’re employing.

What experience do you have working with horses similar to mine?

I have extensive experience working with horses of various breeds, ages, and temperaments. While every horse is unique, I draw upon my knowledge and adapt my approach to suit the individual needs of each horse, including those similar to yours.

How do you handle behavioural issues or challenges during training?

Addressing behavioural issues requires patience, understanding, and a systematic approach. I focus on identifying the root cause of the behaviour and work from where the horse is at. Often behavioural problems are the manifestation of horses not truly understanding the basics, so I start at the beginning and fill in any of the missing pieces as we go.

Will my horse be treated with kindness and respect during training?

Absolutely, kindness and respect are fundamental principles of my training approach. I believe in building a partnership with the horse based on trust, understanding, and mutual respect, which forms the foundation for all our interactions.

What is your approach to building trust and communication with the horse?

Building trust and communication is paramount in my training philosophy. I prioritise establishing clear boundaries, consistent cues, and rewarding positive responses to create a partnership based on trust and mutual understanding.

Do you offer any follow-up support or training for me as the owner?

I encourage owners to come as often as possible, especially coming towards the end of their horses stay. That way they can get hands on 1-1 tuition and can go home confident in their ability to handle any scenario that may come up.

Can you provide references from previous clients or examples of successful outcomes?

Certainly, I can provide references from previous clients who have entrusted their horses to my care. Additionally, I can share success stories and testimonials that illustrate the positive outcomes achieved through my training methods.

What are your rates and what is included in your training package?

My rates vary depending on the specific services and duration of training required. Typically, my training packages include a comprehensive evaluation, personalized training plan, regular progress updates, and ongoing support. I'm transparent about pricing and can provide a detailed breakdown of costs upon request.
