Equinz

Our methods are based on building natural, non-violent relationships between horses and humans. We use Natural Horsemanship techniques inspired by the work of Pat Parelli, Monty Roberts, and many others. We use Rope Halters exclusively when working with our horses and the horses quickly learn that they can not push through them like webbing ones. The rope halter works on pressure and the horse learns to move away from it. We spend the time teaching the horse to trust and move off the lightest amount of pressure. All our horses are barefoot and trimmed regularly. We have seen amazing improvements in our own horses over the years and have seen many of the health and behavioural issues in horses we have worked with disappear through proper remedial hoof trimming. Because we have so many horses come and go with clients, rescue, and our own herd. I had so many traditional English saddles it was just crazy, not to mention the problems and cost we had fitting each horse, and still not happy with the outcome. We found what we believe to be the best treeless saddle on the market, “Barefoot Saddles” designed by a German physiotherapist for her and her horse.
