About
This Course shows you how to build a calm, confident, and connected horse for going out on walks, hacks, or trail rides together - both in-hand and under saddle. It starts with simple preparation exercises at home to help you and your horse develop the skills needed to stay relaxed and connected when faced with the unexpected. From there, you’ll begin with very small “mini walks” just outside the gate, gradually building confidence and calmness step by step in-hand. As your horse progresses, you’ll learn how to extend these outings, manage new environments, and handle unexpected situations with confidence and clarity. The course then moves into ridden work, covering safe and calm mounting, staying connected once on board, and gradually building up to longer, faster and more adventurous rides. Throughout, you’ll also learn how to support your horse through challenges out hacking so that you can both feel safe, calm, and confident exploring the world together.
