Each year I ride and train my own horses with world renowned horsemen and women and learn from other professionals to continuously build on my knowledge, skills and awareness. Always searching for better and kinder ways to train, ride and manage my horses, I have gone in search across the world to find trainers, clinicians and practitioners who resonate and teach horsemanship that puts the horse’s welfare first and foremost and builds on the deep connection, trust, softness and feel that represents true mastery in horsemanship. AMT Equestrian’s focus is on working with horses in a holistic way that benefits the horses’ biomechanics and way of motion to build soundness as well as mental, behavioural and emotional well being.

Very sad news on the passing of John Saint Ryan… a truely beautiful soul and advocate of the horse - A Voice for the Horse!

Our deepest condolences to Joyce, family and friends of John’s - we’re gonna miss his ‘Anaphores’ and John’isms.

I’ll raise a toast to you my friend… rest easy!🍻😓🙏

JOHN SAINT RYAN (02/11/53 to 04/03/25)

I and our family want to let our friends know that John had a heart attack the evening of Thursday 3rd of April. We were with him at the hospital where the staff did everything possible but unfortunately he did not survive. We are absolutely heart broken.

John wanted to aid medical research and donated his body, so there will not be a funeral.
Later, we will arrange a celebration of his wonderful life.

We are all fortunate to have known and loved this special 'Gentleman' as he has been described to me numerous times over the last couple of days.

Joyce and Family.

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT: New AMT Clinic – “Groundwork for Humans”
Because sometimes it’s us that need to yield our hindquarters.

Join us for a full-day immersive experience where humans learn the art of:
✔️ Backing up softly when someone stares at you
✔️ Yielding to subtle pressure (from life, bills, horses, partners...)
✔️ Standing quietly in a tie-up while someone monologues about hooves
✔️ Picking up your own feet when asked nicely

Bonus module: Reading energy shifts in your boss before asking for annual leave.

Strictly limited spots. No horses. BYO rope halter (for emotional support).
Bookings 1/4/25 only 😉

WEEKEND VIBES – AMT STYLE 🐴

We know you're watching...
Whether you're in the saddle or still in your pyjamas—what's filling your weekend?

Are you...
A) Out there refining your groundwork like a horsemanship hero
B) Tackling trail confidence or playing Garrocha in your paddock like a boss
C) Mixing molasses into a syringe pretending you’re not going to worm them
D) Fixing a fence with twine, tape, and a dream
E) Horizontal on the couch with snacks and no regrets

Or maybe you're up to something totally unexpected... 👀
Tell me below – don’t make me guess! 😂

26/03/2025

If your horse sees a worming syringe and suddenly thinks they’re auditioning for the rodeo, you’re not alone.

In this video, we’ll show you how to sweeten the deal—literally—so worming becomes less drama, more apple-flavoured diplomacy.

The Power of Groundwork:

In the world of horsemanship, groundwork isn’t just about teaching movement—it’s about creating mental, emotional, and physical balance. One of the most valuable things you can offer your horse is the ability to find ‘neutral’—a state of complete relaxation where tension melts away, and your horse simply exists in the moment.

A horse that understands how to switch off and settle into neutral won’t be consumed by outside distractions. Separation anxiety, environmental stress, and reactive behaviour all fade into the background when a horse learns to stand, breathe, and be comfortable in its own space.

Helping your horse find this state isn’t just about obedience—it’s about building confidence, trust, and emotional resilience. When neutral becomes their default, you’ll find a horse that is more responsive, more connected, and ultimately, more at peace.

So next time you work with your horse, ask yourself—have they found their neutral? If not, that’s where the real training begins.

Isn’t she something…😍

Topaz is now nearly 2.5 and she’s growing into the splitting image of her father…

Just when you think you’re kicking goals… Mother Nature reminds you who’s boss.

My newly acquired property has taken quite a hit from the recent storms, with damage that will take time and effort to repair. Not exactly the welcome we were hoping for!

While it’s a setback, we’re no strangers to rolling up our sleeves and getting on with the job. The vision for this space remains strong, and with a bit of hard work (and maybe some better weather!), we’ll get everything back on track.

A huge thank you to Char, Uta and Claire, and Brenda and Brian for their help and support—it means the world. We’ll keep you posted as the clean-up continues and make this place even better than before - Andrew

I know that stepping into groundwork with your horse—especially if you’re feeling uncertain—can feel like a big task. You want to do right by your horse, build trust, and create a partnership where both of you feel confident. But maybe you’re unsure where to start, or you’ve tried before and felt like you weren’t quite getting it. That’s okay. You’re not alone in this.

At AMT Equestrian, we take a gentle, clear, and practical approach to groundwork. It’s not about perfection—it’s about communication, small wins, and understanding how your horse thinks and moves. Maybe your horse rushes, struggles to focus, or just doesn’t seem to "get it"—I promise, there’s always a way forward. With guidance, patience, and the right exercises, you’ll start seeing changes. Your horse will start looking to you for leadership, and you’ll feel more connected than ever.

So, whether you’re starting from scratch or refining your skills, know that you’re in the right place. Let’s take this step together. If you have questions or worries, reach out—because groundwork isn’t just about the horse. It’s about building confidence for both of you - Andrew 🙂

We all love a goal—whether it’s a smoother transition, a straighter line, or finally nailing that movement. But what if the best progress happens when you stop focusing on the end result and start riding the moment?

Horses don’t work off checklists. They respond to feel, balance, and timing. The more we tune in—without the pressure of “getting it right”—the more we build true connection and trust.

So, take a breath. Feel the rhythm. Let the conversation unfold. The milestones will come, but the real magic? That’s in the ride itself.

A very special day for AMT, with Lilly coming home to the new place in Gidgegannup. It was so nice to see Lilly reunited with her filly Topaz and running around with her mates Avi and Co. Over the past 18 months Lilly has called a number of places home, and I’d like to take a moment to thank those people that have helped her out: Kerrie-lee and Joe; Jodi, Jenny and Char; Eric and Cynthia; and Bec and Simon - thank you all so much for everything you’ve done!! 😊🙏 The last few months we’ve been trying to get Lilly pregnant and I can confirm that after 5 attempts she’s finally pregnant to Prestige and is due in late Dec / early January. Only a little more work and I’ll have Prestiges’ paddock finished and the boy and all my ponies will finally be home - which I’m extremely excited about, albeit tired! So on that note - I’m off to celebrate - the pub we go - Cheers!! 🥳🍻👍🏻. #lusitanohorse #horsesofinstagram #sonofrubi

This video was captured during a 5 Day Horsemanship Clinic a while back – while dates may change, the message remains timeless! Here I am walking through the essential foundation groundwork principles with 8-year-old Andalusian cross Eddie, who came for training. The key to building a lasting partnership never changes. 🖤

✨ Progress Over Perfection – The AMT Equestrian Way! Remember, imperfect action is always better than perfect inaction! Every small step counts, whether you're working on groundwork, refining your aids, or building confidence in the saddle. The key is to have a go, reward your horse’s effort, and focus on quality over quantity. Your horse doesn’t need perfection—they need your patience, your clarity, and your willingness to learn alongside them. At AMT we embrace this philosophy in everything we do. Our training is built around soft communication, correct biomechanics, and giving both horse and rider the time to develop true partnership and understanding. So, tell us—what’s one thing you’ve been putting off because it’s not “perfect” yet? Drop it in the comments and let’s encourage each other to take that first step! ⬇️🐴
