Horse Training

Do you need support starting a young horse, resolving a training issue, or developing your horse further? I offer professional training services both at our farm and on-site at your premises.

With over 30 years of experience working with horses, I provide calm, knowledgeable guidance to address a wide range of training challenges. I specialise in starting young horses, retraining older horses, and helping each horse reach its full potential.

Ideally, horses come to my farm for an intensive and focused training programme in a consistent environment. However, I am also happy to travel to clients when preferred.

Services include starting young horses under saddle, training horses to drive, and resolving behavioural or performance-related issues.

I also assist with purchasing horses, offering local market knowledge and Portuguese language support to help you make a confident and informed decision.

Workshops

We offer a range of professional, horse-focused workshops designed to educate, inspire, and build confidence in both horse and handler. Our sessions cover a variety of topics, including effective and ethical training methods, carriage driving, foundational groundwork, and practical problem-solving for common behavioural and performance challenges.

Each workshop combines clear theory with hands-on experience, ensuring participants gain practical skills they can confidently apply with their own horses. Whether you are looking to strengthen communication, refine technique, or deepen your understanding of equine behaviour, our workshops provide a supportive and knowledgeable learning environment.

Workshops can be tailored to suit different experience levels, from enthusiastic beginners to more advanced riders and drivers seeking to refine their skills. Our aim is to promote harmonious partnerships built on trust, clarity, and correct training principles
