St Piran's Stud Spanish Horse dressage trainer clinics Perranuthnoe

Training for the Horse & Rider

Classical Dressage Training is not just for dressage
arena or those wishing to perform high school moves.
Training at the stud is a holistic approach to
horsemanship which includes loose work, work-in-hand,
lunge work and ridden work. This is backed up with
support from the Stud Physiotherapist.

The aim is very simple - to develop a harmonious
relationship with a horse who is supple, submissive and
willing to work.

This style of training holds no quick fixes, training is along
traditional lines using only basic tack and equipment to
develop correct muscle structure and movement.
Ultimately the horse achieves balance and self carriage.
The rider is light and together they 'dance'

Horse Physiotherapy Assessment & Treatment
The horse is an athlete just like a human performing in
sport. Use of physiotherapy improves the horses natural
range of movement, corrects muscle imbalance and aids
self carriage. The result - increased performance &
improvement in your horses sense of well being. Horse
Physiotherapy is available approximately every 3 months
from Celia.

Horse & Rider Physiotherapy Clinic
This is a one to one clinic with horse & rider together (held
at the stud) designed as a natural progress from the
ground based Human Clinic & Horse Physio. It brings
horse and rider together to look at specific problems for
example stiffness on one rein, problems with transitions,
poor strike off in canter, evasion or why doesn't my horse
seem to understand what I am asking!

Maintaining a Supple Horse Lecture Demo
A ground based course that looks at a horses normal
