Core Principles of Therapeutic Training

• To consider the horse an equal partner, be fair to the horse and use great sportsmanship
• To make the horse feel that he/she is the most loved, special horse in the world
• To give the horse every opportunity to experience a stress-free, pain-free, joyful and rewarding training experience.
• To always put the relationship with the horse first and that the horse's well-being will take precedence over all else - regardless of where we are, what we are doing, or what we are trying to achieve. 
• To always listen to the horse, to allow the horse to communicate with us (feelings, emotions, physical comfort, needs), and to try our best to meet those needs.
• To create a bond of love and understanding between horse and human
