Hanna Walton and Matt Feerick are horse development specialists and Hanna is an event rider. They start, restart and rehabilitate between 100 and 150 horses every year. Some of these horses have behavioural challenges, deemed quirky or untrainable, some have had difficult starts in life, others are being rehabilitated from injury or trauma, but many have owners who want to set their horses up with a solid foundation that equips them with the skills for life.

We are passionate about blending worlds and finding meeting points where different techniques and methods complement each other to create a more holistic approach to horse and rider training. For us balance is a critical word. Balance between the horse and rider, balance in the horse’s body, balance in the training plan and most importantly, balance between natural horsemanship and the classical disciplines.

It is possible to compete and have a great relationship with your horse. To ride classically but employ natural horsemanship techniques and reach your goals with your horse, not just on them. This blending of good physical and classical training with horse psychology is the best way to work with your horse. It builds a stronger horse physically and mentally, as well as, developing a richer relationship where you both are working together.

There is no one size fits all method. Horses have different personalities and needs, depending on their innate characteristics and what they have learnt throughout their lives. It’s the same with people. We take an approach to training that has the goal in mind, but the pathway to get there will be unique to you and your horse.

Our backgrounds in natural horsemanship, competitive riding and bodywork for people allows us to look at both sides of the story, what is happening for your horse, and what is happening for you. Often people come to train with us and have forgotten that the person is 50% of the story.
