philosophy
When training my horses I’m trying to create a knowledgeable and relaxed partnership. I believe the best way to do this is to train both the horse’s mind as well as their body. To achieve a relaxed performance whether at a local show or in international competition, the mental and physical building blocks need to be equally in place. Every horse and rider is an individual and will have their own needs, so as a coach it is important to me that I take the time to understand, work together and support my clients and their horses in the best way I can. All these aspects guide my approach to coaching, training and competing.
At Claire Gallimore Dressage we will work together to
Train the mind and body of your horse for a relaxed performance
Teach your horse how to manage himself in stressful situations
Take your new knowledge from the ground, to the saddle and into the competition arena.
Improve your technical skills as a rider
“‘Through our training with Claire, Darcy now has the knowledge to control his own nerves and we have learnt so many adaptable skills and techniques that we can carry forward into all aspects of our partnership’”
