All formats, including the clinics, consist of individual practical lessons, allowing you to learn and proceed at your own pace and to discuss your individual matters. Additional theory lessons complement the tuition.
In your practical lessons you acquire the skills to train your horse first from the ground and later on all movements mounted or in the carriage.
The theory lessons impart to you profound knowledge about horse schooling like the elements of the training scale and their interaction, horse psychology and anatomy, which equipment to use (and which not) and much more.
Enjoy, together with your horse, moving through the elements of Schooling-on-the-Ground, striving for elegance and lightness according to classical-Iberian principles.
All tuition formats are intense methods of teaching, focussing on the maximum of individual schooling success, so that you can confidently consolidate at home what you have learned at the workshop, clinic or private lesson ... until you feel ready to learn more.
Horses of all breeds are taken, young horses as well as horses for re-training. Stallions, mares and geldings are equally welcome but your horse must be at least 36 months old.
Generally, lessons are given at the Schooling-on-the-Ground Centre at Penrose in the Southern Highlands of NSW, half way between Sydney and Canberra. Please contact us to find out if clinics are held also in your area or if private workshops can be arranged.
