Foundational Horse Training

 

Setting a solid foundation sets everyone up for success.

 

A lifetime spent with horses and a deep understanding of their fundamental needs allow Nicola to help you identify and bridge any gaps in your horse’s understanding, enabling them to excel in their work.

She specialises in developing the foundational skills that support horses as they progress confidently in any discipline, from early foal and young-horse handling to the more refined movements that build strength and balance.

Nicola offers calm, patient guidance in essential basics such as desensitisation, leading, picking up feet, and trailer loading, ensuring each horse feels safe and understood.

Through clear direct and indirect yields and thoughtful foundational movements, she helps horses develop confidence, responsiveness, and a strong mental and physical base for future success.

Nikki is amazing, she has worked with both my children’s ponies. She is great with any horse and explains the process and how to support the horses going forward. Would fully recommend you have a chat about your horse’s needs.
