Coaching for success
Please scroll down to look through some examples of my work on various issues.
Horse and rider Biomechanics
Understanding how to make small changes in the horse and rider can have a profound effect on harmony and ease of movement.
Here are some examples;
Clipper phobic horses
Clipper phobic horses can display various behaviours including pulling away, barging, biting, rearing, kicking or striking out. Before my training some required veterinary sedation to be clipped. I work by gaining the trust of the horse and reading their body language so that I only progress at a pace the horse is comfortable with.
Mounting block issues
It's important that horses stand still for mounting as not doing so can easily lead to accidents. One of the horses below had not stood still at the block in 4 years of ownership. The owner is still thrilled that she stands still everytime after 1 half an hour training session.
Young horses
I love working with youngsters to set them up for a positive future.
Confidence building
Helping horses and riders of any ages!
Spooky / tense horses
Using psychology and other techniques I can help the owner build confidence in their horse.
Hosepipe phobia
I have worked with many horses who would not go near a hosepipe, let alone be washed with one. After working with them all were happy to be hosed down.
Bad loaders / non-loaders
I have worked with horses who reared, bolted, planted or took many hours to load. Afterwards they were happily loading and sometimes went up the ramp quicker than the owner!
Hacking problems
Confidence building exercises and psychology to help horses (and their riders!) become braver out and about.
Farrier phobia / refusing to pick up legs
In extreme cases some horses were frightened on arrival of the farrier's van. I work to gain the horses trust and can also attend the farrier's appointment to help transition the horse's trust from me to the farrier.
