Hi everyone, welcome to Shaelyn Jayne Horsemanship.
I work with horses in all stages of their careers, from c**t starting and restarting, to fine tuning mature horses, to helping horses with specific problems or holes in their education.
It is important to me that the owner learns as much as the horse in order to carry on with the progress the horse made during training. Lessons are included so the owner and horse can be a successful team after returning home.
My goals are to create safe, willing horses and inspire others to pursue the art of horsemanship.
The horse’s education begins on the ground, which prepares them for what they will be asked for under saddle. Some groundwork topics include:
•Personal space, trust, respect and attention
•Understanding pressure and how to yield
•When to move and when to be still
•Softness, flexibility, balance and responsiveness
•Addressing fears and spookiness
•Saddling and bridling
•Floating and tying
Under saddle, the principles established during groundwork are used to transition the horse from fundamentals to advanced maneuvers. Some topics under saddle include:
•Stand to be mounted and dismounted
•Softness to the snaffle bit in all gaits
•Understanding seat, leg, and rein cues together and independently
•Move quietly and balanced at all gaits
•Backing with lightness
