As a horse lover and passionate rider and coach, my purpose is to help you improve your riding to deepen the bond between you and your horse.
I often hear of horse owners who have lost their confidence, feel guilt towards their horse when riding and even sometimes feel their riding damages their relationship with their horse.
Training from the inside-out relies on the direct connection between your emotional and your physical state. When you start with relaxation, awareness, and correct rider position, you find physical balance whilst building confidence and harmony with your horse.
By focusing on the foundations first and always respecting your horse’s physical and emotional needs, this approach creates sustainable progress, clearer communication, and a partnership that grows stronger over time.
More joy and a feeling of freedom in your riding and relationship with your horse.
To become more confident and more independent in your learning.
To increase your knowledge on horse physiology and biomechanics.
To understand why your horse suffers from “unexplained” lameness or recurrent injuries.
To avoid training techniques which leave you with a “bad feeling”.
To understand your horse´s reactions, either ridden or on the ground.
To stop feeling frustrated, "stuck" or nervous with your horse.
To develop athletic performance based on trust.
To deepen your overall connection with your horse.
Your horse´s happiness and performance both matter.
You have an open mind and enjoy learning for the joy of learning.
You feel frustrated as you are doing the best you can for your horse and you don´t get the results you want.
You are looking for long lasting results, including competition performance.
You like to understand the training process.
You understand that horse training, like life, is not a straight line.
You understand that horse training needs to be tailored to each horse according to where the horse is at, not his age, breed or other general factors.
You are willing to see horses in their globality and are curious about a holistic way to manage your horse.
A strong focus on relaxation for sustainable performance.
A classical approach in accordance with the Old Masters principles in the respect of your horse´s nature.
Understand your own body better and gaining relaxation, inner core strength, flexibility and coordination.
A strong focus on the rider´s position in the early riding work to develop harmony between the horse and rider and understanding the effective use of the aids.
Subtle, fluid and sometimes difficult to define improvements early on which “stack up” as a foundation for more obvious and “accelerating” progression later on.
A mix of discipline and joy in your practice and a strong commitment to your horse's welfare.
A caring approach with a clear progression path.
A better understanding of your horse to facilitate more effective communication and greater independence in your riding.
Learning to recognize signs of comfort and discomfort in your horse.
Variety in the work and adaptability to emotional and physical disposition.
Groundwork exercises for young horses, horses in rehabilitation and the horses which are not balanced/strong enough to carry the rider.
Groundwork exercises for all horses' emotional regulation and physical improvement.
Cross training with a mix of flatwork and polework (jumping when wanted or/and beneficial), groundwork and ridden work.
A feeling that you are “training from the inside-out”. At first progress may be subtle to later build up and accelerate as the foundation was strongly established.
A global approach where the natural needs of the horse (for roaming space, movement, friendship, varied forage…), tack fitting, preventive veterinary care, specialist care (osteopathy, fasciatherapy…) are all part of the training process.
