Backing | schooling | Sales

At the heart of our Schooling & Starting services is to work with horses as individuals.

 Each horse will spend at least a week working from the ground; this can be anything from flag work and desensitisation; to learning about lateral movements in-hand; to understanding spatial awareness or just creating a mutual understanding of horse and handler.

We feel strongly about working with horses and strive to continue learning about the way their mind and body works best - in turn, work under saddle becomes more manageable by allowing them the time and space they require to learn and most importantly, understand, what is being asked of them.
