Starting HorsesWe have years of experience and have successfully started many horses that have gone on to be wonderful children's ponies, adult's hacks and competitive dressage horses, eventers, show jumpers and show hunters.
Our philosophy is, of course to start horses bitless and to instill basic groundwork using reward based training, teaching the pressure-release principals, then move them onto the bit. We move on to rhythm, contact and engagements from there. |
Schooling HorsesOur techniques for schooling are both horse friendly and effective. Combining the movements of classical dressage with modern methods of achieving and teaching the horse. Most of our technique came from Ray Hunt and his mentor Tom Dorrance, although they were cowboy ways, we applied them to all aspects of equestrian. We now have developed further from Andrew McClean's methods and Philippe Karl's Classical Training.
We can work with you to create a schooling plan to suit your individual horse’s needs. Most horses live on site at Kate’s Riding Centre whilst being schooled by us and work is charged on a daily or weekly basis. |
