Step 1: Core Elements

Every horse is different, and the way we work with them can vary. But over time I’ve discovered key principles that stay the same — these are the Core Elements of my training. While the way we work may vary, these foundations apply to every horse.

Course Information

In this course, I’ll explain how horses communicate and why understanding that is essential before we start teaching them anything. You’ll learn the different phases of asking questions, I’ll explain my way of finding feel, rewarding and why your timing is a highly important element for this. We’ll also dive into the importance of mindset and how it affects your connection with your horse.

These discoveries help me connect and communicate with horses and I am excited to share my knowledge with you. You’ll also find older videos in the Extras from the archive, which may offer extra clarity.

If you ever feel stuck in another course, come back to this one—sometimes the answer is not in what you do, but in how you feel.
