Why Real Horsemanship?

I am passionate about helping people understand horses  better, so that they can live in a world that we have created for them, in a way that makes sense to the horse but also works for us, in an everyday relevant manner. 

​

The term natural horsemanship is often used to describe a way of educating both horses and humans in a natural way, but in truth nothing that we do with horses is really natural. Horses  do need to be educated to fit into our world and to do that  "naturally' we need to really understand their behaviour. Then we need to learn positive habits and skills so that we can really help our horses become calm, willing partners.

Real Horsemanship is about working with and for the horse, developing good horsemanship skills that work for you both in everything that you do, on an everyday basis,  encompassing ground-skills as well as riding and forming a basis for all disciplines.  

 

Real Horsemanship is more than just being a good rider. It’s about being the sort of person your horse would choose to be with. Simple but true and it starts by understanding  what your horse needs. If You give your horse what he needs, he's more likely to give you what you want!
