I am based on site here as a livery, so can offer quiet, smaller paired sessions and privates more than normal. If anyone books a private session with a young or green horse, but would like sensible company in with them, I can bring my own quiet horse(s) in ridden or in-hand, who live on site, if you wanted reliable company for socialising a young/green horse - please just specify this when booking.
Outdoor sessions.
Obstacle/desensitisation session information:
Duration - 50 minutes
Group size - 2
Ridden or in-hand
Suitable for - Any age providing safe to handle or ride in a group. If sharp/reactive/nervous please book a private session for group fairness.
Aim - to confidently tackle obstacles and 'spooky scenarios' by applying a gentle horsemanship approach to learn to calmly and quietly work your horse through obstacles.
Includes: Exercises similar seen in Trec, Working Equitation, Agility, Trail, etc. Obstacles could include simple bridges, complex bridges, pedestals, water tray, curtains, sensory noodle path, flags, see saw, etc. Roughly around 6-8 obstacles plus polework exercises. For group fairness - any horses with known specific problem areas please book onto a private session to focus on these individually.
Private sessions
Any age, inhand or ridden.
45 minute private session to work on a specific area you wish to focus on
This could be private obstacles, groundwork/trick training, balance boards or 'helpful horse' training such as learning the foundations to open gates safely or parking up the mounting, focus on an unconfident area or just a nice quiet place to have a first outing with a young or green horse (if you wanted sensible company, I can also bring my own sensible horses in who live on site if you wanted reliable company socialising a young or green horse - please specify this when booking).
Info on trick training -
No age limit but horses must have good manners on the ground and be good to handle to be suitable to trick train. Tricks are dependant on horse but could be pedestal/starting the balance board, smile, twirl, mounting block training, picking objects up, yoga movements needed to start bowing (mountain goat, park out), magnet (backing from behind), crunches etc.
Please specify when booking a private session what your aim is.
Times are sorted nearer the date. Sessions will run from 11am onwards.
