We all make plans for our horses… the competitions, the training schedule, the route for your hack.

But horses so often throw us curve balls, it’s our responsibility to adapt and put their needs first always.

If your horse is telling you that they need something different, we need to listen. A lighter training session, more warming up time, a relaxed hack rather than schooling, a day to rest.

Your horse doesn’t know the schedule in your head, but they do know how they feel and what they need from you.

Double tap if you agree that the best laid plans always go out the window when it comes to horses!

Thinking about going back into education after years away can feel daunting, especially when you can’t quite remember the last time you studied.

But being out of education doesn't mean you've forgotten how to learn and you certainly don't need everything figured out before you begin! Sometimes you just need the right support, the right learning environment and the confidence to allow yourself to become a beginner again.

If you’ve been telling yourself that you’re too old, too out of practice or simply ‘not academic enough’, save this post as your reminder that it's never too late to learn something new.

Horses in the real world don’t come with a manual or have ‘textbook’ presentations. Their anatomy can vary greatly, they all have different demands on their bodies, they all have their own past that has shaped them, and they certainly don’t respond to a one size fits all approach.

Working with horses requires critical thinking, curiosity, adaptability and the willingness to keep learning.

The most valuable skill we can teach you isn’t where to place your hands, it’s how to read movement, recognise patterns, ask questions and understand what the body is telling you.

Our teaching goes far beyond where to place your hands. Our hundreds of graduates across the world are testament that it isn’t about memorising techniques or the application of skills, it’s about observing, using your intuition, asking questions and staying open-minded.

We teach you how to notice those subtle changes, how to connect what you’re seeing versus what the horse is telling you, how to ask better questions and how to lean into your intuition when something more is going on.

We don’t just send you away with a list of techniques to replicate on every horse, we send you away with a set of skills that means you can have the confidence to work with real world cases, and continue to support you with refining those skills.

We hold ourselves to the highest standards to ensure that as educators, we teach you how to be the very best ESMT that you can be.
