It doesn't have to be that hard!!
Equine Education for BABIES... (and the young at heart)
Do you have a new foal or one on the way and need some guidance?
Maybe you have a cheeky youngster who's left you feeling a little overwhelmed and out of your comfort zone?
Have you recently acquired a 'young at heart' wild or unhandled older horse?
Or maybe you just want to give your young horse the best head start before they commence their ridden career.
Horses are large animals that are able to seriously hurt us (or worse!) but thankfully it's not really in their natures to do so. Most 'bad behaviours' are due to a lack of communication, confidence & respect between horse and handler.
We have gained experience from all over Western Australia in several disciplines and with many breeds. Having built up a tremendous reputation within the industry working with horses and ponies for some of the state's most reputable trainers, riders and breeders. We don't base our work on any specific 'method'. Preferring to keep an open, unbiased mind, knowing that one method is not necessarily going to work for every horse.

Equine Education for BRATS...
Do you 'put up' with your horses so called bad behaviours because you think that's just the way it is?
Do you spend more time fighting with your horse than just enjoying being around them?
Does your horse walk all over you on the ground?
Are you afraid of your horse in certain situations?
Do you get stuck at or miss shows because you can't get your horse on the float?
Do you spend ages trying to catch your horse? Is your horse afraid of his own shadow?
Or maybe you're just bored doing the same old thing every day and looking for a challenge like liberty or trick training?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions we can help!
