Lessons & Training
Helping you and your horse be better ... together
with my 3 step program:
Assess the horse and rider partnership
Diagnose the training issues
Educate the horse and rider
As a certified Gold Level Coach & Trainer, I use Chris Irwin's revolutionary training methods to teach all levels of adults & horses. Regardless of the breed of horse or the riding discipline, the focus is on developing:
- a bond of mutual trust & respect between horse & human both on the ground & under saddle
- solid riding foundations emphasizing a good seat & hands
- an understanding of the horse's movement and body mechanics
- an understanding of horse behaviour
Learning in a supportive, friendly environment, self-confidence improves and fear diminishes – for both horse & human. You will learn how to safely & confidently work with horses from the ground and, if you wish, in the saddle.
Whether you ship in, send your horse for training or learn on one of my horses, the focus is on you, the horse & your goals.
Lessons
Students learn the basics of horse psychology & body language both from the ground and in the saddle. All lessons are available in private, semi-private or small group (max 4 people & horses) sessions. We offer a broad range of lessons suitable for adults with no horse experience and for very experienced equestrians.
Training
Owners are encouraged to watch and, when possible, participate in the training of your horse. This way, you learn the techniques & can continue using the same methods to work with your horse in their future training. Owners are asked to commit to a minimum of 3 months of on-site training for starting horses and for resolving existing behavioural issues.
Lessons and training are available on-site at High Point Farm from April to October & off-site as my schedule permits. For a printable version of our Training & Services Fees, click here
