Working with respect for the horse’s physical and mental well-being – with the aim of improving both.
Teaching the horse to understand, be physically able and mentally willing to do what you want; rather than the rider having to push, hold, cajole, argue, force and ‘manufacture’ the horse.
Understanding that balance is crucial for your horse, especially when carrying a rider; and working to develop it right from the start of training.
Recognising that without ‘feel’ results will always be mediocre, and that it can be learned (but maybe not taught).
