Physical preparation is an essential phase of sports training. However, in riding, this phase is neglected by riders.

Understanding the horse makes it possible to interpret its behaviour.

5pm-6pm: No more reactivities and stable vices!

I invite you to think of another way of talking about horses and to find practical keys based on scientific knowledge in ethology and practice, to improve the well-being of horses. The anthropomorphic angle is intentionally adopted, without ignoring science.

Rather than seeing stable defects, let's try to improve the living environment of our horses. Instead of qualifying them as restive, let's consider these behaviours that cause us problems, such as health concerns or learning to deconstruct.

Take advantage of tips and information on training for care to save you precious time and improve safety for all, while gaining a better relationship with your horse.
