Starting "In hand work"
This is how a horse moves when it is out of balance and on the forehand. Head and bum in the sky, low withers and hollow back, and hind legs out behind.
This is how a horse can move once the person lunging has been taught how to balance and engage the horse with the lunging half halt! The haunches will lower, the hind legs step under, the back and withers raise and the neck therefore naturally hangs forward as it is no longer needed to balance the horse. This allows the horse to move with double the suspension and double the ground cover.

Included in my fees are:

Training the horse from the ground is really valuable so I also offer lessons on the art of lunging, long lining and ‘in hand work’. These can be used as both remedial and preventative training tools.

I can teach you how to gain the most out of your equipment (ie side reins, pessoa, chambon etc).

In hand square halting, lateral work and piaffe are great fun from the ground as well as helping the horse develop its strength, suppleness and co-ordination.

Regular schooling sessions for your horse can be negotiated at a reduced rate. Special rates for Pony Club and Riding Club Clinics can also be negotiated. Please ring for more details.
