Coaching
Horses and riders learn best when they are relaxed and confident, so trust is a vital ingredient in training. ‘I like to build skills progressively using correction and reward, based on a foundation of mutual respect.’ ‘Collaboration not confrontation’ sums up the coaching philosophy at Ellis Brook.
A one dimensional coaching style will not be best for all riders, since different riders respond well to different training approaches, depending on their goals and needs. A receptive rider can learn something from almost every horse, almost every horse can teach a rider something, and almost every horse can be improved.
