My training philosophy
Every horse is unique
It's up to us to take the time to understand it.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all methods.
I believe in time, listening and consistency
My goal is to build confident, balanced and high-performing horses while respecting the goals set by their owners.
I train horses for competition, but with a long-term vision:
create value, meaning, and respect.
Basic principles
Every horse, every owner, every project is different.
I adapt my methods to make the most of what is already there and improve everything that can be improved.
The base of the base:
A horse that learns
The horse must first understand that there is always a possible answer to what I offer him.
My goal is for him to seek this answer in peace, staying connected, without falling into flight or confusion.
First of all, I make sure his mind is available.
Only then can learning begin, and each step takes on its full meaning.
Choose simplicity, aim for efficiency
I always try to simplify learning for both the horse and the rider.
Each aid, each exercise must have a clear meaning, easy to reproduce and maintain, even under the demanding conditions of a competition.
Good training is one that remains functional in action, without becoming heavy or costly for the animal or the human.
Fair progress
I build horses step by step. Each new concept is built on a solid, well-understood foundation.
There's no point in moving quickly if you're not ready.I don't rush things and I don't pretend a horse knows what it doesn't know.
I always adjust the demands to the horse's actual level. My approach is demanding, but never rushed.
My goal is not just to train competent horses.
It's about building horses that are mentally sound, capable of performing, and creating lasting value.
