"Our horse training philosophy is simple - it must be based on the scientific principles of learning. Evidence based training takes the guess work out of working with horses, it privileges the welfare of the horse and improves rider safety." |
Re-TrainingMethodically diagnosing where the problem stems from guides the training to strengthen the correct foundation responses using the principles of equitation science making the transition into the next stage of training a simple and fun task for horse and rider.

Foundation TrainingStarting your young horse is one of the most important aspects of his training. It is the most intensive period of learning he will ever experience and therefore it is extraordinarily important that it be safe, methodical and progressive.
|
Competition TrainingSophie has shown a consistent ability to school and train horses to a nationally competitive level. She believes that correct training from the start will put your horse ahead of the competition. Short and long term training available.
|
Facilities include safe yards, dressage arena, jumping arena, XC course and round yard.
Short and long term schooling is available as well as follow-up tuition to help you get the best out of your training investment.
Foundation Training takes 6-8 weeks depending on the maturity of the horse, and the level of training required by the owner. Horses are trained on straight lines and circles, they develop contact and in some cases the beginnings of lengthening and outline. We are careful not to overload the horse. Relaxation is paramount. All horses learn the foundation responses in-hand before progressing to ridden work. The under-saddle process begins with a period of bareback bonding allowing the horse to become completely comfortable with the riders touch, before being introduced to the saddle.
We welcome you to participate in your horse's progress at any time during the training. We always provide a lesson on your horse before you take him or her home so you are familiar with the training, and ongoing support to help you continue on with the training at home.
