Bitless Art of Riding instructor
In my work we start with the basic leading exercises where we work on regulating the nervous system of both you and your horse and lay down a clear communication through body language. It is a time where you truly get to know your horse and find the trust between you both. It is the foundation for gymnastic groundwork and riding.
In the gymnastic training we further development the language, the aids. You will go through the first steps of groundwork, handwork and riding with the focus on language and not on perfection. The horse has to find its balance and we allow the time it takes.
This will all lead to more advanced handwork and riding where you horse will develop into a beautiful and healthy friend.
This practical, yet personalised guidance empowers you to work towards your goals possible for both you and your horse in a way that makes sense to your horse and has your horse’s health, happiness and safety as the highest priority.
In 2014 I visisted Jossy Reynvoet in Belgium at his farm where I was introduced to his Bitless Art of Riding. Since then I have been studying with Jossy and in 2019 when I invited Jossy and Pascale to come over to Australia for a clinic tour, I became a licenced BAR trainer.
Private lessons are $80 for 45 minutes plus travel. Depending on where you are I would need a few people in your area for lessons.
I can also come for a morning or afternoon session. Contact me to discuss the possibilities.
Are you interested in hosting a 1 or 2 day clinic? I can send you a hosting package that details out all the requirements.
