Why Choose AY Horsemanship?
A calm, professional environment where horses thrive
At my yard in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, I have 16 loose boxes for training livery and sole use of a round pen and large indoor arena. There is also great off-road hacking at a local nature reserve. I am proud of the calm and professional yard I have built up and the dedicated team I have working with me. Every horse is treated as an individual and when a horse is with me for training livery they get worked five days a week in a consistent and comfortable environment.
I welcome owners to visit my yard prior to sending a horse for training so they can explore the yard and watch me working horses.
Customer feedback
"Adam was fabulous with my horses and took all the stress out of yard move day by helping me to load three youngsters who had not had much handling. Adam is really the meaning of natural horsemanship! 100% recommend."

"Recently purchased a horse through Adam trained by him for two years. I rate him highly for producing such a calm, kind and genuine horse. His natural methods are to be applauded and I highly recommend him."
Lucy Sewill
"Adam came to assist with my new yearling filly. He showed me how to deal with little issues before they become problems, and reinforced my confidence. Highly recommend him for a calm, firm but fair approach."
Beatrice Haigh
"Amazing session with Adam, he talked through everything he did and why he did it. After just 15 minutes Adam had JJ on the box and she only improved from there! I cannot thank Adam enough for everything he has done."
