TRAINING

    Purposeful Training for your Horse

    Every horse is different - with their own personality, history, strengths, and challenges. That’s why my training approach is never one-size-fits-all. I offer personalised, purpose-driven training designed to develop trust, responsiveness, and performance, while always respecting the individuality of each horse.

    As a qualified Bereiter FN and professional trainer with over 12 years of experience across both Germany and Australia, I bring a deep understanding of classical principles, modern horsemanship, and practical problem-solving to every session. Whether your horse needs foundational education, further refinement, or help working through behavioural or training challenges, I’ll tailor a clear, structured plan to meet their needs - and yours.

    Training can be short-term or ongoing, and you’ll receive regular, honest updates to keep you informed and involved in your horse’s journey. Whether you’re preparing for competition, addressing specific challenges, or aiming to build a more harmonious partnership, I’ll work with you to create meaningful, lasting progress.

      TRAINING APPROACH

      At the core of my training is a commitment to purposeful progress, guided by the six principles of the German Training Scale - a proven framework for developing the horse’s physical and mental ability with structure and harmony:

        • Rhythm

          Consistent, clear footfalls in each gait - the foundation for all balanced movement

        • Relaxation

          Mental calmness and physical suppleness, with a swinging back and freedom from tension

        • Contact

          A steady, elastic connection to the bit through correct rein aids and self-carriage

        • Impulsion

          Forward energy generated from the hindquarters, creating power, elasticity, and straightness

        • Straightness

          Alignment of the horse’s body so that hind legs follow the path of the forelegs - essential for balance and true engagement

        • Collection

          The culmination of the scale - lightness, balance, and enhanced performance through greater carrying power
