I offer assistance, training and teachings on any of the subjects listed here. I am based near Nantwich in Cheshire on a small private yard with fantastic facilities. I have an all weather 60m x 20m arena and am able to take horses for training livery if and when required.
I offer private lessons here at my premises or within a local radius. There are some area days currently running so please get in touch to find out if I’m your way.
I can do yard visits and clinics at your premises.
I am available for emergency handling issues, catching and loading.

Trick Training
Trick training can be good fun for both of you. I like it as it gets a horse ‘thinking’ and looking for solutions to your suggestions. It’s a great boredom breaker for horses on rest or in retirement.
These subjects must be treated with respect. If a horse is not respectful and soft in the basics first and taught in a clear way when learning, then tricks can turn into evasions.
Liberty training is also available. Trick training can be offered in sessions or the horse can come and stay.
In Hand Bridle
In hand bridle work is so beneficial for all horses of all shapes and sizes.
We use lateral exercises to supple and mobilise the horse throughout his body. Building strength behind whilst working through his core. As the horse strengthens he will be able to carry and push the weight from behind more effectively.
This work is for the horses well being and longevity.
Having a strong, well balanced horse means he’s fit for riding and will find his work easier.

These days have been designed to provide you with a more thorough understanding and feel of the Foundation program and the equipment.
All about you and your learning and practice as well as being good fun.

Loading & Travel Training
I am available for emergency loading.
Horses can resist loading for many reasons and in many ways. I offer loading sessions and half day visits. I will want to work with your horse a bit before we approach the box. After my visit you will be left with homework in your new method and I am available by phone for assistance if needed (usually not).
