An old training video from 2019 with Mr Patches. Teaching your horse to bridle themselves. We no longer use bits (4yrs now) with our girls but that doesnโt mean using a bit is not ok. However educating yourself around bits and the use of bits is important. ๐โค๏ธ Our reason for using bitless is because we have multiple riders (mostly beginners) on our horses and it is not fair to the rider or horse to expect the rider to know how to use their reins appropriately. Bitless sidepulls (not bosals!) are very kind on our horses face and mouth. ๐โค๏ธ #horsemanship #inspire #education
Donโt follow your dreams Chase them! ๐ ๐ฅณ Happy new year ๐ฅณ www.inspiretrails.ca
๐ด Maya (the beast) aka Maze (if youโve watched Lucifer, you will know ๐) You would have noticed her being ridden by Jordan. Maya joined the Inspire family last year with very little experience out on the trails. She is a reminder to me daily that to gain a horses confidence we need not seek to diminish how alert and responsive they are but learn to keep up with the dance. - She was just looking for somebody as wild as her. ๐คญ#mydancepartner Mountain trail course @ Canoa Farms ๐โค๏ธ #horses #inspire #team #horsebackriding #horsemanship #fresian #draft #family #adventure #trails #ride #dream #britishcolumbia #canada #tourism
๐จSound on!! Who knows what type of bird this is? ๐ Hint: they are definitely from the dinosaur era ๐ So cool that we get to encounter this rare bird on our trails almost daily. www.inspiretrails.ca

Before + after training video of Candy on her Inspire vacation. ๐ Why are we asking for Candy to walk over a tarp? Itโs a chance for us to teach her (in a safe environment) how to control her โspooksโ and how to react to them. (We did this in hand and ground driven before the riding) Our aim is to create solid trail horses. We want our horses to be aware of their surroundings, look at things and react to them in a way that is safe for their rider. We do NOT want our horses to ignore things and become โdeadโ to the leg. This can be dangerous. - this is a common accidental mistake I see when people try to โdesensitizeโ their horses - they end up creating a horse that doesnโt move. We take on 2-3 horses (must be mares) every season for an Inspire Vacation. Feel free to message me with any questions
What matters the most? That the girls are all happy and safe ๐ I love that they all come when called. Days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler. We can finally start seeing an end to this brutal fire season we have all had. #inspire #horsemanship #wildfire #firefighter #forest #nature #love #family #friends #safe #happiness
Want your business to be the top-listed Pet Store/pet Service?
Welcome, my name is Jordan. I am a horse trainer from England.
I have been training horses for a number of years now all around the world. I have been very fortunate to work with such great horseman from Texas, Africa and Europe. Training horses in the rodeo, working with very famous cutting and barrel horses. Being apart of the breeding programmes. (Pictured is me with very famous โAutumn Boonโ breeding mare)
Learning both English and Western riding, I have come to a conclusion of both styles being used when training horses which makes this a unique style.
I specialise in horse behavior, educating people to understand their horses needs properly and help create such a bond that only you and your horse can feel, which is a very rewarding feeling for me.
Another of my favorite aspects of horse training is being able to pass my knowledge on, to the older and younger generation. Horse riding and groundwork lessons are available. Barrell racing, pole bending, jumping and dressage lessons for you and your horse.
You want you and your child to go further in the rodeo?
Does your horse have an issue with the gate?
Perhaps your horse is too fast or even too slow?
Do you have trouble with your horse concentrating on the task at hand?
I am here to help you.
Do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
I look forward to hearing from you.
