Natural Horse Management Certification This course was designed for horse professionals, but anyone involved in horses in any way will benefit from it. The course covers skills to improve relationship, communication and safety with horses. It also goes in depth into the theory behind why these techniques work. In addition to the practical horsemanship aspect of the course, there is also a natural husbandry module, so that horses in your care don't face health compromises when being kept as naturally as possible. The course can be done exclusively through correspondence ( course materials are sent via courier) and qualifying graduate students may be selected for full time study.

We recently put out a post on instagram noting that we don't lunge horses. We wanted people to tell us why you HAD to lunge a horse. We had some very helpful responses and we put this video together as a response. We have an equivalent to every good thing lungeing can achieve, without any of the negatives. Please note, we are not knocking peoples choice to lunge... just explaining why we don't recommend it.

This video is from a trailer loading we did last week in Gauteng. The little Palamino ( Des) got really anxious and refused to go anywhere near the trailer. Gareth talks about the process of loading Des. Before we even got to the trailer his owner, Desiree, had already put in the basics needed to communicate with him.
