Equestrian Philosophy

Follow Classical Equestrian Principles but with a totally open mind to new ideas!

You should look forward to riding (and lessons) not be relieved you have survived!

Our horse is first & foremost our friend but never our boss

The better we ride the less we physically & mentally damage our horses

Having horses in your life is good for your soul, your mind & your body
