"Natural" Training

  • Experienced, gentle and effective trainer of horses using tools and methods influenced by Monty Roberts, Kelly Marks, Mark Rashid and others.
  • Clear explanations and training for owners/handlers
  • Pony Club and Riding Club instructor in "natural" methods
  • 20 years experience of riding and retraining "problem" horses
  • Holder of the Monty Roberts Preliminary Certificate of Horsemanship
    • The Certificate involves assessments of Join-Up, longlining and remedial loading; 2 hour written papers on anatomy, physiology, nutrition, psychology, breeding and youngstock; and an original horse psychology paper.

BHS Training

  • Early training was with a BHSI & examiner in Scotland.

My hobbies include housework and tack-cleaning, but I rarely get around to them, being much too busy riding horses, teaching and enjoying life.  :-)
