Performance Solutions for Horse and Rider

Are you having trouble getting your horse to do what you want?

Have you asked other people what to do and they’ve all told you something different?

Are you feeling frustrated, disillousioned and you’re ready for change?

You are not alone! 

I can help you bridge that communication gap!

Over thirty years ago, I got so frustrated with not knowing how I could change a bad habit with my best competition horse that I completely changed my path with horses.  Even though I was at the top of my field and having lessons with the top performing discipline-focused coaches, I was not getting any satisfactory answers, nor improvement. I was stuck and had to look elsewhere for the answers I needed.

Your horse is not a machine and if you don’t take into consideration their way of “thinking” and how they are “feeling” within your training relationship, it will ultimately impact your results in a negative way.

Anything missed or not consolidated in your training foundation will show up as a default in your training further down the track. (The longer you stay stuck, the deeper you engrain what’s holding you back).

GOOD PREPARATION AND GREAT COMMUNICATION SKILLS ARE KEY

No matter what the issue, all changes need to come through the person!

EVERY HABIT CREATED, CAN BE UNCREATED

Behind every outer behaviour is an internal thought and emotion, and every horse’s behaviour is expressing how they feel, just not in words. To not have the knowledge and skills in reading this and to overlook your horse’s internal thinking and emotions is leaving out too much of your training potential. This in turn affects the spirit of your horse and consequently, “your results”.

CHANGE ANY UNDERLYING NEGATIVE EMOTION AND
THE ASSOCIATED OUTER BEHAVIOURS CHANGE

If you’re struggling with your horse’s attitude and mindset and you don’t take the time to stop, rewind, and get to the root of the problem, you won’t address what’s holding you back before going forward.  You may end up riding around in never ending circles, feeling like you’re not progressing because you’ve lost your horse’s input into the training, or worse, you’re in constant conflict or fear of getting hurt.

HARMONY IS DEVELOPED

THROUGH MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION,

and the effortlessness of this will show in your performance!

I am an introductory level EA dressage coach with a thirty year background in solving problems with horses.  I also incorporate twelve years of this experience as a life coach in helping people solve problems in their lives.  How you handle your life mirrors over into how you handle your horses.

I can view the relationship from both sides and assist “open minded” people to make more well-informed training choices. This minimises the guesswork, time, effort and money that can be wasted working out for yourself what works and what doesn’t.

I’ve already done the hard yards and have the experience to share so you can fast track your performance.  With anything you do with or without horses, prevention is always better than cure and you can be assured if you are frustrated, your horse will be too!

Safety is of the utmost importance, so if it’s trickey, it can be worked through on the ground.

Success happens when good preparation meets opportunity!
