If your horse is reluctant to go forwards and you have to push, kick or nag, this video is for you.
My approach doesn’t involve more pushing, kicking or whipping.
Instead, I use reward-based training techniques to help the horse feel more joy in going forwards, creating a really happy and willing horse.
I cover R+ training techniques in this case study, along with tips about how to use your cues and your seat to be a softer, more balanced and connected rider for your horse.

Want to learn riding with me?
I’m running an online riding clinic starting SATURDAY. This is all about riding positively, and how to use reward-based training to train horses under saddle.
My approach covers:
– Understanding the emotions of your horse and how to train based on maximising joy and relaxation.
– Using R+ training techniques in different ways to suit the horse and situation
– Understanding how your seat and position affect your horse and helping riders to become connected, balanced and confident in the saddle.
I’ll be working with 6 horses and riders throughout the clinic where we’ll be working on different things such as helping horses with a negative association with riding become relaxed under saddle, building motivation, teaching movement and lateral exercises and more.
The benefit of seeing this in practice with different horse and rider combinations is that you’ll really get a clear and deep understanding of HOW R+ works under saddle. When you understand the principles, it’s much easier to transfer it to your horse and situation.
But, you can also ask me! There are Q&A sessions each day, so I’ll be there to talk with you directly and answer your specific riding questions about the lessons, about your horse, or about using positive reinforcement under saddle.
Sound good?
There are just a couple of auditor places left. Numbers are limited to make sure I can answer everyone’s questions, so come and join us!
