Working In Hand Saturday 13th September 2025Attendance at each workshop is £35 per person (£20 for the morning only) if you wish to bring your horse there is an additional charge of £35. Horse places are limited to 3 with an overall place limit of 7 on the workshop. Stabling will be available on the day but you must provide your own feed.
Whether it is part of rehabilitation after an injury, fittening work or just a way of enjoying non-ridden time with your horse, the principles of in-hand work are a valuable tool.
Over the years I've helped a number of my clients discover the benefits for their horses. In some cases we have been using in hand work as a way of helping the horse to find better balance and learn lateral movements that have then helped improve ridden work. In other cases we have worked under veterinary supervision and rehabbed after injury. I've helped young horses learn balance, suppleness and the language of the aids as preparation for riding. But perhaps most importantly for me, when we train this in a way that makes use of positive reinforcement and pays very close attention to how the horse is feeling, it becomes an important part of relationship building, developing trust and understanding, a vital foundation for all aspects of training.
If you'd like to learn more, perhaps you would be interested in my next workshop in September. This is part of a series that I've been running this year at Dukes Cross Country and Livery thanks to the sponsorship of Equine-X and their wonderful product, Connexion.
Learn how the basic steps and cues can be trained through positive reinforcement, creating an engaged, willing equine partner. This is a practical workshop with the opportunity to bring your own horse.
