Who else could have done with some umbrella training today? 😅😅

Hurricanes and horses are perhaps not the combination dreams are made of…. Hang on in there folks, this too shall pass 💪🏼

As the days get shorter, rain becomes more frequent, and riding surfaces often become too unsafe to ride, why not use the winter months to explore other ways to work with your horse?

✅ 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 is an excellent way to keep your horse mentally stimulated, while also focusing on important aspects like flexibility, balance, and confidence. Whether it's just 5 minutes of desensitization or a full hour of exercises, it's a productive and enjoyable way to bond with your horse.

Winter is the perfect time to shift your focus toward 𝗔𝗴𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. I offer lessons in horsemanship and groundwork to help you and your horse make the most of the season. 🧡
In these sessions, you’ll learn how to harness your horse's natural behavior and psychology to set them up for success. We use a variety of techniques such as pole work, desensitization, obstacle courses, groundwork exercises, and longlining to bring variety and fun to your horse's routine.

Flappy things? No problem! 😎

Knowing how to help your horse when they are worried or scared is a vital part of having horses. And preparing them for real-life situations (flags and banners at competition, flappy things on hacks, people opening umbrellas ☔️) sets you up for success.
It’s not about forcing the horse to do something, it’s about helping them to understand that they are not in danger. That you’ve got them. This is what builds trust and confidence 🤗

Would you like to learn some methods and ways to help your horse overcome their fears? We offer a variety of lessons and clinics in obstacles and desensitizing. Contact for possibilities 🍀

Had an absolute blast organizing no less than two obstacle days at Oak Farm!
I went out and build all the crazy stuff for the horses at their own yard to conquer and boy, did they do well!

Fabulous horses, dry weather and great people, what more can you ask for ☀️

The lovely Bo is currently in training with us to make a start in his ridden carreer. 💪🏼
He’s a bright little New Forest pony and is 3 whole years old! So, we are taking everything as gently as possible.

One of the things we like to use to prepare them for a rider, is a fake pair of legs… aka some rolled up saddlepads! This gives them a visual of something on both sides of them, adds a little bit of weight to the saddle and prepares them to feeling something around their tummy. And look at him go! What a brave boy.

Of course, I made sure to prepare him for this step by doing some targeted desensitizing exercises. It’s our duty to set them up for success and especially with the baby’s, build confidence not break it. Bo here did a fantastic job with them! What a trooper🍀

💅Would you like some fabulous pictures of you and your horse(s)? Would you like to feel drop-dead gorgeous in them, by having your hair and make-up done professionally? And would you like to have your horses, and your own, personality shine through in the pics? Then I have exciting news for you!!

💄In an unexpected turn of events, before I dedicated my life to training horses, I used to be a make-up artist and hair stylist. I absolutely loved making people feel like their best selves and confident in their skin. It’s a very niche thing to have a passion for horses and make-up, and when I met the amazing photographer Johnny we came up with the idea of creating this shoot!
📸Johnny Applebee from XploreWithIntent is a photographer who has years of experience in shooting pictures of both people and animals. He as a passion for capturing stories and making people feel comfortable in front of the camera.

🤩 So, on the 17th and 18th of August we are teaming up and offer a photo shoot with you and your horse(s), where you will get your hair and make-up done beforehand. Johnny and I both have a passion for making personalities shine through the camera. and we pride ourselves in making sure we get the pictures that will make you go: ‘that’s so us!!’

We come to your location and together, we can have a fun and creative day. Capturing memories that will last a lifetime.

Make-up and hair accessories will be provided.
Included in the shoot are 7 edited pictures, 2 of which will be printed. Extra edits available for additional costs 😌

Desensitizing mare to scary flag!! 🇬🇧

Desensitizing Flo to the scary flag! 🇬🇧 Flo here is a 14 y/o Dutch warmblood. And we are currently in the process of restarting her after a 4 year break. On all accounts, she’s doing amazing. But she can sometimes hold on to a little bit of tension. 👉So, you’ve guessed it, we’re doing a whole lot of desensitizing with her. Desensitizing horses with different stimuli helps them not only to become more brave, but also to regulate anxiety and let go of tension sooner. 🍀 As you will see, she’s a clever cookie that picks things up very easily. Such a brave girl!

Errol wearing the line

Sometimes things that look small are actually big progress! Case in point: Errol here ‘wearing the line’ Errol is an ex racehorse and when he came to his owner Hannah, she soon found out that he was very anxious, reactive and unsure. This showed in both riding and handling and surely didn’t create the ‘nice relaxed horsey time’ we are all after. We figured longlining would help gain confidence with riding but very quickly realized he is NOT a fan of things behind his butt. Did I mention he’s an ex-racer?? We had all reaction and no brain… so this is where lots of desensitazing came in. This helped not only to build his confidence overall, but also to get him used to feeling something in that area. And look at him in our last session! Wearing the line in a calm, relaxed fashion. We were even able to get a bit of ‘lunging’ in, whilst wearing a line behind his butt. I couldn’t be more chuffed with the progress and we’ll be longlining in no-time.
