Flatwork for Jumping is just as important as jumping your horse, you can have a jumping lesson without even jumping a jump, by using poles on the ground and practicing corners. Flatwork for jumping also includes jump position and two point as well as no stirrup work which helps build a solid foundation in your position.

On your own horse , you can learn techniques on how to jump a course of jumps and how to approach each and every jump correctly on different rhythms, learning how to fix conflict behaviour like rushing at jumps, stopping, swerving.

Learn how to do dressage movements and improve the suppleness and way of going with your horse, not only do we work on your horses way of going but I also help focus on rider biomechanics and how we can influence our horse by the way our bodies move. Sometimes an eye on the ground to get the best out of you and your horse is an invaluable tool, and with an eye for detail I can help you with getting the most out of your dressage days as well as progress through the training scale that I follow using Equitation Science principles.

While horse riding can be serious and discipline orientated, its good for horses as well as riders to have a variety of fun. I offer lessons in Working Equitation, Pole work as well as obstacles to give horses young and old or riders of all ages some variety and fun to their lives. We have to remember that horse riding is meant to be fun for both rider and horse. Children especially get more confidence from doing fun lessons rather than discipline orientated lessons.

Using Equitation Science principles, both In-hand and under saddle, we can retrain problem horses with simple methods that are easy to understand and logical. Lessons can either be one off or as a week (+) long boot camp where we work on things together. I find working with owner/rider and horse over a period of time more beneficial for long term results as well as regular check ins to whether or not the 3 basic responses of Stop, Go, Turn are still improving to “proof” stage.
