Training for the Human and Equine!
We offer instruction that promotes equine welfare and rider/handler safety through equitation science.
We adhere to the training principles outlined on the International Society for Equitation Science:
Principles of learning theory in equitation
To read the full description of the Principles click HERE
Training Principle 1 – Take into account the horse’s ethology and cognition
Training Principle 2 – Use learning theory appropriately
Training Principle 3 – Train easy-to-discriminate cues
Training Principle 4 – Shape responses and movements
Training Principle 5 – Elicit responses one-at-a-time
Training Principle 6 – Train only one response per signal
Training Principle 7 – Form consistent habits
Training Principle 8 – Train persistence of responses (self-carriage)
Training Principle 9 – Avoid and dissociate flight responses
Training Principle 10 – Demonstrate minimum levels of arousal sufficient for training
