Schooling your horse is essential for any equestrian discipline, so getting it right is essential to the horse and rider's progression. We plan an individual program considering you and your horse's ability and desired result. As a minimum schooling should improve: • Balance • Suppleness • Impulsion generation • Lateral movement • Obedience We have a holistic approach to improving horse fitness with a gradual continuous improvement program. All horses undertake a conditioning program with continual individual assessment, which determines the variation in intensity, distance and type of exercise. Our training is trust based designed to gradually build fitness and tendon, ligament, bone and muscle strength. This is achieved by incorporating both anaerobic and aerobic exercises. We would strongly recommended that horses be assessed by a veterinarian (should include X-rays, examination, visual assessment) at the beginning of the program to help ascertain the horses natural ability. Our on site veterinarian is at your service. Your horse is treated as an athlete with the programmed designed considering each horses naturally ability.
