Another fab clinic today at Soley Farm stud meeting new partnerships and seeing returning pairs developing.
Highlight was working with a new boy who never lets go of tension at home, let alone out and about… and using .method tension release points we were able to give him the tools to get control of his body - and his posture and state of mind was completely different by the end.

Bookings Are Now Open for a last 2024 clinic in SURREY

I am delighted to be back at Pachesham Equestrian KT22 0AL Sunday 8th December 2024.
The lesson are £60 each for a 60 minute session including the arena hire charge and are taking place in the indoor arena so we are safe from winter weather!

Any of my Dorset clients - excellent opportunity to check on your saddles with Lucy Nazer Dressage Trainer & Saddle Fitter
And to see how balanced you are in the saddle too!

It’s been a bit of a tense couple of weeks with the babies both out of sorts and endless extra hours needed to be found for mucking out, poulticing, hand grazing and vets!! It’s been 5am starts every day and late finishes so not much social media and terrible admin on my part - sorry anyone who has been ignored.

BUT TODAY THE GIRLIES ARE BACK OUT!!!! Hurrah 🥳 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I’m delighted that they are both so good in the stables, and it’s been lovely having cuddles in the dry when it’s raining but I am so happy that they are both allowed to be back out in the herd today. Penny is not 100% yet but Dr Green will hopefully work its magic.

In the mean time Mirabelle better watch where she puts her hooves and I’ll be getting the keratex out! Please no more poulticing for a while…

Thankyou Catherine at M&S vets for looking after us.

I’d like to say I’ll get a lie in tomorrow but it would be a lie as I’ve still got a few more days of hoof dressings for Minibeast, the grownup horses at home to look after and first client booked at 8am.

Sleeping overrated right!?!?

Happy Wednesday!

Penny is very good at selfies!
My youngsters are lucky enough to be growing up in a herd down the road at Clandon Park Estate but I do try and fit a visit in ever day.

In our daily interactions I make sure we just do 5-10 mins of something - I want to make sure they’ve learnt the basics of handling to set them up for success.

I spend time thinking about what I want to work on, and the majority is just getting the pair of them to follow my feeling - being able to yield to a hand on their side , follow a rope, relax their neck muscles if prompted.

I make sure they are comfortable with being touched all over, and having me lead from both sides. It’s all the basics but it sets them up to be successful partners who are happy and confident with humans.

Mostly we just hang out and the fact that whenever I try to leave the field one will follow me, wondering what else we can do is the greatest reward. Because more important than any individual exercise is the feeling they have around humans - and I want it to be positive!

I’m met by horses in my work who are suspicious, wary and shut down. They will all have a story with humans that have created this pattern and the first step of training with them is to change this picture.

So nothing makes me happier than snapping a selfie with a happy baby horse who wants to be with me, is curious about what I’m doing and eager for interaction. That is the best thing you can encourage in ANY horse

Just a little bit obsessed with these two girlies. Not quite at the level of the Olympic athletes we’ve been wowed by for the last week but I could sit and watch them all day!

Mirabelle 1 and Penny 2 get to live in the parkland at the stately home Clandon Park - and I really couldn’t have found more perfect spot for them to grow up.

And growing they certainly are… I’ve just been working away for three days so Lewis has been their humble courtier and when I saw them tonight I could swear they’ve shot up again!!

I can’t get enough of playing and exploring with them - and if I didn’t have to go to work to pay for them to live like countesses then I would sit there all day (when I wasn’t with freckles of course!!!)

They are incredibly quick learners so I have to make sure I don’t make too many mistakes… they will be the first horses I have backed that I will be keeping. Weird when I’ve backed around 25 in the last 2 years and counting!!

Appreciation Day!

Work has been a little bit insane recently, and I am doing some very longgg days to fit everything in. BUT I am just overwhelmed time after time by the response to training horses focusing on them as individuals who deserve our mentorship rather than our domination.

I feel so incredibly priveliged to work with your beautiful animals and the fact that you send me messages telling me where you’re up to, or letting me know your progress really does make my day.

Thankyou again for letting me help on your journeys and how awesome is it that there are more people now in the world wanting this way of being with our animals .

So has challenged us to think about why we started our accounts and what you can expect to find here!

I came to Instagram in 2022 - late to the party! I had just finished training with and moved to

I wanted to document all the amazing journeys I was having with the horses I spent time with, and slowly it became a way for me to share my thoughts on horse training and ideas on how to connect/find softness build relationships etc.

I now work as a travelling horse trainer helping people with their challenges and starting young horses. I see so many different horses and their range of personalities and I love being able to share a bit about the different problems we’ve encountered and how to overcome them.

What you can expect from this page is LOTS of groundwork exercises, tips and tricks for training, lots of stories about my fur babies.

I want to connect with the MANY equestrians out there who also want to have their horses happy healthy, but still be able to have adventures and progress! Balancing the two isn’t always easy but it’s definitely possible!

Day 3 of is to introduce my sport …

BUT I don’t really have one!!!

I studied classical dressage and dressage for biomechanics abroad and became hooked on helping horses move the best they can. I absolutely love dancing with a horse and Freckles and I are attempting competitive dressage, but I also love to jump and galloping across a cross country field is my happy place.

My real horse ‘discipline’ is behaviour - how to shape, and train a horse. How best to capture their hearts and minds - aiming for a willing partnership where you are the mentor rather than dictator🏇

And that applies to EVERY discipline - which is great because it means I get to help people with happy hackers, all the way to Grand Prix dressage dancers and 5 star cross country competitors. Whatever sport the horse performs they communicate with us and it’s that ability to understand and listen which I have made my discipline.

I also LOVE taking an unhandled, feral youngster and helping explain the human world, turning them into a trusty partner. I think if the Mustang Makeover or Road to the Horse was taking place in the UK then maybe I’d be considering a new sport!!

Which equine sport are you involved with?? 🐎

Inteoducing the FUR BABIES!

Bella - Gorgeous Grey. 9 years old ISH

born in Ireland Bella has travelled the world with me - she’s visited, Holland, Belgium and Germany. She’s brilliant at travelling!

Wrecked by Lymes Disease Bella has no career as a sports horse but she did influence my career path. The frustration and anguish that I couldn’t help her, train her or even achieve simple tasks sent me down a road that informs me very thing I do now!!

Bella is an eating MACHINE - she will devour anything given and makes quick work of a grass field! She is highly attuned the the crunch of a carrot.

Freckles: Black Beauty, 6 Oldenburg

Freckles is a big goofy Labrador. Just shy of 18hh he LOVES humans, LOVES SWEETIES and LOVES picking up everything within his range. I mean everything!!!

Freckles is a big wimp, assumes everything in the world is dangerous. But TRT has helped enormously and now his curiosity outweighs the fear as long as he’s given a moment to think.

Freckles is my dressage boy - with more power and potential than I’ve ever had the opportunity to own before… but I have to admit … he doesn’t like to work if it feeeels like hard work!!! So freckles is the master of teaching you to make sure schooling is fun, fitness takes place away from the arena and that you keep things fresh!

Finally Baby Mirabelle aka Minibeast. 10months old ISH bred with Colmar.

Smart, funny and super sassy Mirabelle is hilarious

She learns veryyyy quickly but is black and white with her opinions!

Loves to lick you. All day.

There we have the dream team that all live with us at Ranmore Common!
