Our Programs
On the Trail
Sales Preparation and Selling your Horse
Young Horse Handling
Our "On the Trail" Program is an extension of our Level 1 Program where we implement all the exercises your horse has learnt and get your horse out and about, particularly on the trail; to get your horse used to any obstacle they may encounter.
This program will cover
Getting horses confident out and about and by themselves
Working on barn-sour horses that don’t want to leave their friends
Not Jig-jogging and rushing home
Getting used to traffic, obstacles and everything you might see on a trail ride
Riding out on a loose rein without micro-managing and pulling on your horse
Sticking to the gait you set for your horse
Have your horse comfortably ride at the back, middle or front of the group without stressing
Young Horse Handling
Sales Preparation and Selling your Horse
Young Horse Handling
Our "Young Horse Handling" Program is a comprehensive and well thought-out program that will start with all the basics your young horse needs whether they are a yearling or preparing to be broken in. We believe young horses need to be safe on the ground, and have many positive experiences to enable them into their journey as a ridden horse. Safety is our priority with young horses, especially tying up or float loading.

Sales Preparation and Selling your Horse
Sales Preparation and Selling your Horse
Sales Preparation and Selling your Horse
We put your horse through a detailed 6 week program to ensure they are ready to go on to their next owner.
Taking the hassle out of selling your horse, we also advertise, take photos and videos and manage all the enquiries and inspections for an affordable rate and commission.
Whether a child's pony or performance horse, they will be put through the paces to ensure they find the right buyer at their suitable level of experience.
Level 1 Program
Level 1 Program
Sales Preparation and Selling your Horse
The Level 1 Program is by far our most popular program, combining both ground work and ridden elements to build a solid foundation for your horse, ensuring all the basics and safety elements are taught to your horse on the ground that are then directly relevant to ridden work.
This program will also address any problem areas or behavioural issues you would like us to work on.
Due to the amount of work we need to get through in this program, we have a minimum duration of 6 weeks to complete this program.
Level 2 Program
Level 1 Program
Level 2 Program
The Level 2 Program builds on the principles of the Level 1 Program, teaching the groundwork and riding exercises to gain even more control of your horse’s feet, achieving lightness and suppleness under saddle.
For a comprehensive list of exactly what your hose will be taught please contact us directly.
Level 3 Program
Level 1 Program
Level 2 Program
Level 3 adds some seriously light and precision buttons to your horses toolkit where your horse will respond to a light touch and is a pleasure to work with. This third and final program will focus on the ultimate control of your horses 'feet on the ground with precision and being able to guide him under saddle with your fingertips.
For a comprehensive list of exactly what your hose will be taught please contact us directly.
What makes our Programs different?
Going home with confidence
At the completion of each of our programs, when you come to pick up your horse you will be given a comprehensive HANDOVER showing you exactly what your horse has been taught, including a one-on-one session to teach you how to continue on with your horses training when you get home.
You will also be given a EXCERCISE SHEET outlining every exercise and a description to remind you how to do the exercise when you get home.
WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU. Just because you head home with your horse doesn't mean the end of our support.
We will check in with you regularly to see how you and your horse and going, offering tips and answering any question you may have.
We would love to continue to have sessions with you to reinforce the education your horse has received, weather that be coming out to you or bringing your horse back for a once-off or regular lessons.
While your horse is here in training you are WELCOME TO VISIT AT ANY TIME. We welcome you to come and see your horses progress.
