Philosophy

Our Training Philosophy

How We Learn 
Scientific tests have established that successful learning and personal development can only take place when the teacher-student relationship is good. In our case of course, the horse as the third player in the group also plays an important role in that relationship.  

Relational Messages Conveyed by the horse:
Attention :   Horses seek human contact. 
Boundaries :  Horses teach us to set boundaries and to accept them.
Definiteness : Horses always clearly and promptly express their emotions through body language. 
Sincerity:  Horses accept every human being the way they are.

Ethical Principles 
1. Whoever deals with a horse shall assume the responsibility for the living creature which has been entrusted to them.
2. Horses shall be kept in conditions that are in keeping with their natural needs.
3. Regardless of the purpose of its use, the horse’s physical and psychological health must be regarded as being of the utmost importance. 
4. Humans are to respect all horses equally, regardless of breed, age and sex, and irrespective of their use in breeding, leisure or sports. 
5. Any interaction with horses contributes to an important degree to the development of the personality, especially in young individuals. This importance should always be recognized and promoted. 
6. Any individual who engages in sports activities in partnership with the horse shall submit the horse entrusted to them to appropriate training, with the objective of developing the utmost harmony between human and horse. 
7. The responsibility of humans toward the horses with whom they have been entrusted also covers the end of the horse’s life. This responsibility must always be assumed in the best interest of the horse.
