Transform Your Relationship with Your Horse:
Expert One-to-One Coaching Tailored for You & Your Horse
Struggling with Groundwork Skills? You're not alone—many horse owners feel lost when it comes to developing a strong foundation with their horse. Without the right guidance, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of frustration and miscommunication.
Overwhelmed by Cooperative Care? Fear-free husbandry and veterinary practices can feel intimidating, especially when your horse is anxious or uncooperative. It’s tough to know where to start and how to keep your horse calm, confident and willing.
Stuck in Traditional Training Methods? If you’ve been using pressure and release techniques but are curious about or ready to transition to reward-based training, you might be wondering how to make the switch effectively and humanely.

Dreaming of a Deeper Bond with Your Horse? Imagine a partnership where your horse responds willingly, trust is mutual and groundwork sessions are a joy rather than a chore.

FAQs
What is Cooperative Care?
Cooperative care involves teaching your horse to voluntarily participate in their own care, such as vet visits and grooming. This reduces stress and makes the process easier for both horse and handler.
What if I'm not familiar with reward-based training?
No worries! Whilst I specialise in guiding clients who are new to reward-based methods, I believe in working very much with my clients and if you'd prefer to stick with pressure and release, I'm happy to work in that way. If you are looking to move over to reward-based training, I’ll help you transition smoothly and confidently.
Can I pay in instalments?
Absolutely! All coaching packages come with buy-now-pay-later options, so you can focus on training without worrying about upfront costs.
How do I know which package is right for me?
It depends on your goals! If you're looking for ongoing support and a comprehensive plan, the Classic or Supreme Package would be ideal. The Basic Package is perfect if you need a solid start with foundational coaching.
What if my horse has specific behavioural issues?
Every horse is unique and, as an Equine Training Instructor (ATI), I'll assess your horse for training prior to our first session. If your horse has behavioural issues that are outside of my own remit, I can refer you on to a trusted Behaviour Consultant. Once any relevant behaviour issues have been resolved, we can continue with the training as planned.
Don’t wait to start building a stronger, more connected relationship with your horse.
Let’s get started on the path to success!
