Our Training Rules:

There are as many Horse trainers as there are methods for training Horses, so like John Lyons, we have adopted the following 3 rules which we apply to any training session.

•Rule 1: I can't get hurt.
I am more important than the Horse, so he is not worth sustaining an injury for. Getting hurt during a training session will not do anyone any good. Your Horse won't intentionally hurt you, but accidents do happen, so you have to work at minimizing the danger.

•Rule 2: The Horse Can't get hurt.
Our training environment has to be as safe as possible and all necessary safety precautions should be taken before training commences. We must do everything possible to stop the Horse coming to harm during our training sessions.

• Rule 3: The Horse must calmer at the end of the Training session than he was before we started.
This is the Horse's way of telling us that he understands and is comfortable with the training session.
A calm responsive Horse is the best proof of the success of our training program. A nervous Horse tells us that he is not sure what is expected of him.
