Taking your horse back to basics
Why choose AY Horsemanship?
Sometimes horses have had a difficult start in life or their job changes. I use horsemanship techniques to re-educate your horse to create a better relationship with you or to prepare them for their next career.
I work with a variety of horses including ex-race horses, dressage horses and young horses who have already been broken but not in a way where their needs were met.

What does the restarting process look like?
My process for restarting is similar to the journey young horses go on at AY Horsemanship. Using my proven horsemanship techniques I work your horse on the ground to ensure they are calm and relaxed. When we’re happy the groundwork phase has been accomplished, we move onto introducing the saddle and ridden scenarios.
Horses will learn to be tied up to ensure they’re comfortable standing quietly and alone. I also like exposing horses to different “spooky” objects to help them regulate their emotional reaction to unusual objects.
No matter what discipline your horse will go on to do, I make sure every horse is happy hacking out alone and in company by the end of their training with me.
