NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP IN SCOTLAND

Horsemanship training in Scotland is for those wanting a good bond/connection with their horse. By finding out how each horse thinks and applying natural horsemanship methods that work for them as an individual. This helps work towards the horse being more balanced, confident, co-ordinated and more connected from his brain to his feet and to their human.

Once started on this journey I introduce alpha phases of intent to bring about a more balance, light relationship that has almost invisible communication.

My four strategies of training are: Relaxation, Willing Obedience, Impulsion and Flexibility and these work in combination in the area's of confidence, rhythm, balance, energy and straightness.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Horsemanship can help with safety and confidence issues, for the horse and human, and starts basic training from the ground so that a good foundation is established. This communication can then be used effectively when in the saddle. Working towards lightness, relaxation and impulsion from the ground first can make ridden work more enjoyable and understandable for you and your horse.

A CLOSER RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR HORSE

Each step is a step towards having a confident, happy horse and rider that work together in a willing harmonious partnership. As the horse/human relationship grows things like barging, biting, kicking and unhappy trailer loading will dissapear and it will show you the techniques for riding with or without a bit.

I work throughout Scotland on a one-to-one basis.

HORSE AGILITY

Iam a Horse Agility Accredited Trainer (HAAT).

This means that I can come out on a one-to-one basis or train a few students at a time for Horse Agility. HA is a fun, horsemanship based sport that you either go to an event for OR there is on line HA (OLHA), I can help you with both. I have found OLHA to be a good event to put my horsemanship to a purpose and enjoy the sport with my horse Solly.

OLHA is HA done at home, videoed and sent in to the HA office, there it is viewed, judged and scored according to HA rules by Vanessa Bee, founder of HA and OLHA. To be a part of this fast growing sport go to www.thehorseagilityclub.com to find out more and become a member.
