I am heading over to Hobart, Tasmania for a clinic on the 30 June to 1 July 2023 at Coal Valley Equestrian Centre, 799 Richmond Rd, Cambridge TAS 7170.

This is common feedback from those that have attended my clinics or worked with me remotely through my courses:

"I have spent a fortune on clinics and subscriptions to all the big name people out there. I had some success with their advice but then I found you. You are. head and shoulders above the rest. No one has helped me see things like you do and improved not just my horse but ME!"

I have an insightful and simple process that changes horses and gives you a sense of incompetence and confidence with your horse. 

You don't have to be brave or strong to work well with horses - you just have to understand them to effectively influence them influence them.

You can't train a horse by thinking of it as a checklist. However, you can develop a greater appreciation of communicating, influencing and supporting your horse by working through one...especially this one that I have created.

Most people are struggling with their horse because they keep hitting conflict.

Conflict caused by the horse being confused, unmotivated, uncomfortable or not confident.

My Checklist of Exercises has two dimensions to it. Exercises that start simple and progressively get more complicated and an appreciation of the environment you expect your horse to perform.

Therefore, it appreciates that allowing the horse to get confident at understanding and navigating an exercise is important before making things more complicated. Plus, it allows you to appreciate that you need to prepare the horse for more challenging environments.

It allows you to gain an appreciation that thinking you can own a horse and just ride it once a week out on a trail ride is actually a high expectation and not a low expectation of them.

However, working through the checklist and building your skills and understanding of your horse sets you and them up to go out and enjoy those trail rides!
