Please be aware that I am not a riding instructor, I am a confidence & groundwork coach.
These coaching sessions are designed to work with the human from a mindset angle to help give you tools to manage riding anxiety and worry.
The work that we do with the horses during our sessions will ALWAYS begin on the ground. This is where we are able to assess gaps in training, competency & confidence for both horse and handler.
We will then work at getting competent with timing and feel on the ground with your horse before we consider ridden sessions. This is to build both the handler AND the horses confidence.
I also encourage all horse owners to take out Recreational Insurance via Equestrian Australia. This is not compulsory, however, it certainly helps eliviate a lot of anxieties when we are interacting with our horses if we were to get injured in some way - we discuss this during our sessions as part of our "planning".
Please see the link below for more information. Most riders need only take out the RECREATIONAL RIDER policy.
