Foundation Level 1
THEORY & VITAL EXERCISES
After 20 years of working with thousands of horse and rider combinations, from top level competitors to riders who just want to have fun, I have built a programme that every horse I work with goes through.

Reseting the Nervous System and Finding Relaxation
After 20 years of experience teaching people, training thousands of horses and working with great masters across the world, we developed and tested a foundation programme that works. Our programme is the system that every horse who trains with us goes through, whether diagnosing pain, solving problems, teaching young horses or finally reaching a long held goal. Now you can work through it with your own horse at home or in person with us.
Whether you want to start a young horse, diagnose a problem or prepare your horse to reach a goal, our Confident & Connected programme is for anyone who wants to move fowards with their horse.

The Core of the Platform
Empty space, drag to resize
This platform is built on my foundation programme. All horses I work with go through this programme. It is split in to 3 levels and any problem can be traced back to an element in this programme.

WHY 3 Levels?

It's how I structure all of my training sessions and plans.
Level 1 - Focuses on the mind
Level 1 - Focuses on the mind
Level 2 - Focuses on the body
Level 3 - Focuses on the activities you want to do together

Level 1: Connection
Empty space, drag to resize
The first level focuses on connecting with and understanding your horse. Working through this will deepen your relationship and create important boundaries for you and your partner.

Level 1: Connection
Empty space, drag to resize
Split in to lectures and exercises. The Lectures help you understand horse psychology and the ‘why’ of what we do. The exercises focus on the basics of safety and connecting to a horse of any age or level.

Level 2: Fundamentals
Empty space, drag to resize
This level focuses on all of the key movements that combined make up the goals for level 3. Without them the goals and activities we want to do will be harder for you and your horse.

Level 2: Fundamentals

You can work through these movements in preparation for a specific goal or as part of helping your horse better connect with it’s body and your aids; building suppleness and softening the nervous system.

Level 3: Goals

The 20 activities that create a well rounded horse. You can work through these in order (particularly good with young horses), or pick a goal and work on it. Either to learn a new skill or refine existing ones.

Transformations
Empty space, drag to resize
The foundation is about preparing and training your horse to understand the activities that make up their lives. The transformations are about having fun and doing the things you bought your horse for in the first place!

Transformations

You can work through existing transformations alone and join live programmes with other members. A great way to build community and accountability. Challenge yourself to work to a timeline!
PROBLEM SOLVING KIT
Empty space, drag to resize
Examine your horses behaviour and a series of questions to find out:
1. Is the problem pain, behaviour, or, rider or horse missing skills?
2. What part of the foundation is needed to resolve the problem.
