Q&A’s

"Natural Horsemanship" does this mean no Saddle or Bridle?
Not at all, Natural Horsemanship is based on developing trust and understanding, this is achieved on the ground before you saddle up. Riding without a saddle or bridle is the ultimate level of understanding between horse and rider.
What Riding Experience do I need to have?
You DO NOT need any riding experience to book on any of the courses. We are teaching you he fundamentals of making a Natural Connection with the horse in-which many people have not had the pleasure of doing, so. Later in the course we assess your asymmetry on the horse, to help you understand how to use your body to feel more secure on the saddle. Also, included in the lesson; One Rein Riding Techniques
  • If you're emotionally and physically fit to Walk, Trot and Canter that's great. To go out on a trail ride, we must have your confidence high in Canter and Rising Trot Mechanism.
If, Not.....WE will aim to get you there. Only what you, completely feel comfortable at ease with.
