(SUMMER SALE ON NOW – CLICK HERE!)
You know, we asked ourselves this question when we first started out. We weren’t sure, but were certainly keen to test it out. After hundreds of successful students from all over the world have made incredible changes with their horses at a distance, we can safely say YES!
What is ‘Connection Training’?
When the 3 of us were searching for a name for what we do, we kept coming back to the fact that we prioritise ‘connection’ between horse and handler above all things.
Having a great connection means that you and your horse are both constantly communicating. You are responsive to each other and working together. Both of you are willing partners enjoying your time together.
For us, all great training and results stem from this partnership. In our training, we focus on creating positive emotions in both horse and human, fostering joy, relaxation, bonding, confidence and fun.
How Does it Work?
The core of Connection Training is our Home Study Courses. These are online courses which focus on a specific area of horse training and take you through it progressively as you and your horse build your skills together. They are mostly made up of training videos featuring Hannah, Shawna and Rachel teaching their own horses and coaching students with their horses.
These videos show real horses and people learning these lessons and we don’t believe in only showing the glamorous sessions where everything works – life isn’t like that and we want to give you the tools to train your horse no matter what he throws at you! Instead, we cover what to do if it all goes wrong, how to deal with the most common problems in each case and teach you the principles of how you can tailor the training to your horse.
Since we’re online you can join us from anywhere in the world – we have members from all over the globe!
What Will I Learn?
Connection Training is not a formula. Since every horse is different, we teach you how to adapt the CT principles to help your horse be the most relaxed, enthusiastic and willing horse he can be.
Since we show a wide range of horses in each Course, you’ll learn how different horses react and how to train that type. Some are slow to get it and easily distracted. Others are busy of brain and body and rush through everything. Others have fear or tension which they bring to the sessions. And some make it look easy. Hopefully your horse is in the last category, but if not, you’ll be armed with a huge range of tools in every aspect of the training to make it successful.
These principles are fully based in science. We teach you up-to-date science of learning and emotions and how that applies to horses, both in their training and your relationship together.
Though based on science, CT is firmly practical. We have all trained horses to high levels ourselves, including working with rescues, ‘dangerous’ horses and young horses. We also all have years of experience teaching others. We want you to know the science and techniques so you can overcome problems and achieve your dreams with your horse. We give you the what, why and how of positive horse training.
Our Complete Training Foundation Course is the building blocks of everything. It is here that you will learn about the emotional component of horse training and how to adapt the training to your specific horse. You must complete this Course before moving onto the others!
Once your Foundation is strong, you can take the training wherever you like. Our other Courses are pick-n-mix and teach you progressively in a certain area of horse training. Choose the ones you and your horse need most:
Loading and Traveling
