Allan always had a fascination for all things natural and horsemanship has really been an extension of that. It all started riding ponies around 12 years of age before working with a local racehorse trainer before school and on weekends. Allan eventually trained horses in his own right. Little did Allan know an unruly c**t and an introduction to horseman Wayne Anderson would totally change the way

he thought about the horse human relationship from that moment on. Wayne exposed Allan to the ways of great Horsemen Buck Brannaman, Ray Hunt, Tom and bill Dorrance and others of the influence. For over 20 years Allan has continually ridden in clinics in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States to continue his learning of better horsemanship. Allan starts c**ts, helps problem horses, and works with people of all different disciplines helping them gain a better relationship and understanding of their horse’s needs. giving private lessons as well as conducting clinics throughout Victoria and Interstate.

**Clinics**
*Groundwork*
Groundwork clinics give the human a platform to gain understanding of how the horse thinks and works biomechanically. All movements relate to riding as well as gaining mutual respect of the horse and human. Areas covered in this clinic are control, timing, and effective presentation of oneself to successfully communicate with your horse through feel, this creates a necessary foundation for any riding discipline. Rope halters and horsemanship flag advised.

*Foundation*
This class has a mixture of groundwork and riding, with an emphasis on tying the groundwork to basic riding foundation. Most of the riding is done at the walk and trot covering all the basic moves, this enables participants to establish a solid foundation in a slow methodical fashion. This class is essential if a person is interested in advancing with their horse regardless of the discipline. Snaffle bits only, no tie downs, martingales, or crossover nosebands.

*Progressive*
Apart from a basic groundwork warmup this is a fun, challenging and fully ridden clinic. Walk, trot and canter are covered in this class, riders are challenged with more advanced maneuvers, Progressive classes create greater understanding and appreciation of foundation exercises. No two clinics are the same participants can be exposed to different exercises depending on experience and individuals’ interests. Hackamore horses welcome.

*Trail Clinics*
These are extremely popular clinics, normally two or three days. Destinations quite often vary, and accommodation can vary from units to camping depending on the location. Day one is a foundation clinic in a controlled environment, usually an arena. This foundation class comes with a twist as socialization of horses and their riders is essential, horse and rider will be put through exercises such as riding in formation and claustrophobic situations. As with all clinics there is a focus on control and safety but riding out on the trail brings to the surface horse and rider insecurities. Day two is out on the trail and working on riding with awareness, safety, control, and socialization. Riders also get the opportunity to deal with issues that arise on the trail e.g., the upfront chargy horse, jigging or kicking, without of course loosing focus on quality riding habits learnt in the foundation class. Riders who are overwhelmed by fear are advised to become competent in foundation clinics before attempting this clinic. Overview
All clinics have a common thread regarding the mental and physical approach to the horse human relationship. Developing your feel, timing and understanding of the horse are the cornerstones if this approach, with and emphasis on a soft, light and responsive mount. all clinics can vary slightly as different locations have access to different stimulus whether it be obstacles, cattle, rural or urban. The focus is maintaining the same quality riding regardless of situation or location or discipline. No video footage, photos can be taken.

I find bush riding so beneficial for any horse. It adds so much meaning to your focus, legs and reins, not to mention getting horses really good with feet placement and balance. Last but not least it’s enjoyable for horse and human. #equitanaaustralia #allancolletthorsemanship #thehorsemancollective #horsemanship #naturalhorsemanship #coltstarting #horses #trailriding

Working on keeping this insecure mare’s shoulder up. She has a tendency to look away and bow into the human. As the flag can be worrying at first I use that little concern to get her attention back at me on the inside of the circle. #offthetrack #coltstarting #naturalhorsemanship #horsemanship #thehorsemancollective #ringerswestern #wrangler

In this clip I’m using the energy of the lariat to keep this WB cross mare travelling forward. I’m also getting her used to the lariat at the same time. Teaching yielding to the rope is an essential for any horse.

Tex, learning to not only pick me up off the fence, but being able to handle things in his blind spots and above. This is a handy exercise if you don’t have a mounting block or an injury that is inhibiting your ability to mount from the ground. A lot of things change for the better mentally when a horse lets go of their insecurity’s and put themselves in a vulnerable position. #equitanaaustralia #allancolletthorsemanship #thehorsemancollective #horsemanship #naturalhorsemanship #coltstarting #wrangler #ringerswestern #johnsonsnaturalformula

I love how the high line helps compliment the lateral work we do with our horses, in groundwork and ridden. #allancolletthorsemanship #thehorsemancollective #horsemanship #naturalhorsemanship #coltstarting #wrangler #tania_burbury_leatherwork #offthetrack #ott #ringerswestern #johnsonsnaturalformula

This little creek with good footing was the perfect place to give a young horse positive exposure to water for the first time.

It’s important to me that the horse is engaged mentally in the most simple everyday things we do. If you can’t get one to do this don’t be surprised if you can’t get them to be your feet when riding.

Tying solid teaches the horse to respect the end of the lead rope, it relates directly to riding as well as exposure to the flag. Notice this mare turns her head toward me looking for support after changing eyes on one side. I like to get this even on both sides. #horsemanship #naturalhorsemanship #doublediamondhalterco
