*Focus on horse behavior and body language: He emphasizes understanding horse behavior, body language and emotional states build a deeper connection and improve communication.
*Holistic approach: He considers the physical, emotional and mental well-being of the horse, aiming to create a balanced and confident equine partner by stressing the importance of understanding anatomy and biomechanics.
