We have moved yards
which has great facilities for taking in horses, our loose boxes
are 14x14 and are in a large airy barn with windows to the
outside, we have a large flood lit arena and a round-pen. There
are five and half miles of tracks around the farm and plenty of
turnout for those that need it.
Backing youngsters
I have really enjoyed backing youngsters this last year, I had
forgotten how much I missed it. It was interesting for me as I
have taken on a Joey a good, competent rider to help me ride my
own horses when I am not there and to also help back the
youngsters. Joey was surprised that it wasn’t just warmbloods
and competition horses that came into be backed but a real
mixture of cobs, children’s pony’s and the odd warmblood.
Preparing your youngster for backing is probably the most
important part their life as a domesticated horse. Getting it
wrong and making mistakes although not intentional will make
things very difficult for your relationship.
My aim when backing your youngster is to give them and you the
best possible start in life that is stress free. I will use a
process that will allow your horse to be happy relaxed and
forward going in his job whatever that maybe.
My aim for you is to have a forward going horse that responds to
all the basic aides of go forward backwards and to be-able to
move sideways both left and right, this is important to enable
you to hack out in a forward and safe manner.
Don’t forget we take any horse or pony for backing, you don’t
have to be an Olympic hopeful.
Your horse will probably stay anywhere between 4 - 6 weeks,
every youngster will be treated as an individual.
Re-backing youngster
Re-backs can be difficult and with this in mind I will take
re-backs in on a two week assessment, after that two weeks I
will know how things are going to go, and I will be completely
honest with you. Most horses need re-backing for a significant
reason which is why it is so difficult to say how things will go
without an assessment.
However that said we have had a few in this year and they have
gone really well, I take them back to basics and literally start
again.
Ridden problems & Schooling issues
My main aim with these issues is to give you back a horse that
is forward going and happy and relaxed in his work, however you
as the rider play a huge part in this and again will be taught
all the tools need to implement once you go home. All of the
processes I use fit in with normal methods used so anybody can
still ride your horse and he will understand the aids given etc,
the only difference (hopefully) is that your horse will become
much more responsive to the aids
Your horse will stay for between 2 - 4 weeks
Early education
This is for un-backed youngsters and is what I would put in
place to give you a nice respectful youngster that you can take
anywhere and do anything with. It will improve all areas of
horsemanship from standing when asked to performing in the show
ring. Good early education makes the backing process so easy and
just becomes another day in their life rather than a big event.
Your horse will stay for between 2 - 4 weeks

IMPORTANT NOTE
I will do my best to train your horse to the best of my ability,
I also promise that you will go home with the knowledge and the
tools needed to progress in your relationship.
HOWEVER, this will only be of use to you if you put in the work
and continue to build on your horses education. If you go home
and think what I have done in a few short weeks will last a life
time then you will be VERY disappointed.
The length of your horses stay will vary according to how
quickly they progress. We will keep you posted and you can call
anytime.
