Four programmes, adapted to each horse.

4–5 sessions a week for 2–3 weeks

We gradually introduce the foal to human contact and everyday handling: wearing a halter, leading quietly, standing still, lifting its feet and accepting grooming. We also prepare it for veterinary handling. This work usually takes place around weaning, with the mare present when needed.

4–5 sessions a week, for as long as the horse needs

Groundwork and handling, including moving the shoulders and hindquarters, backing up and standing quietly, gradual introduction to tack and different equipment, voice commands and lunge work, walker training, adapted free jumping, hand-walking outdoors, loading practice, and progressive preparation for first mounting.

4–8 weeks, with 4–5 sessions a week

Groundwork and lunging progressively prepare the horse for mounting, the rider and the introduction of the basic aids. Work under saddle begins at walk and trot. Canter and hacking. These are introduced gradually according to each horse’s confidence and progress. At the end of the programme, the owner receives a clear overview of the horse’s development, what has been established and recommendations for continuing the work.

Monthly programme, with 4–5 sessions a week

Individual goals and training priorities are defined with the owner. The programme combines flatwork, pole work, gymnastics, jumping technique, lines and courses, together with conditioning and recovery. Training is adapted to each horse’s level and development, with competition preparation and a suitable show calendar planned in agreement with the owner.
