Horse Behavior

tells us how our horses feel, if they hurt, if they are anxious, if they are afraid.

At EquestrianTraining, Christine Amber uses an eclectic approach, based in science, applied animal behavior and horsemanship -- borrowing from all methods-- to help identify and correct or manage behavior issues in all equines. She works to develop step-by-step plans for establishing and maintaining good ground manners and obedience for English and Western riding, jumping, or trail work. Plans can be implemented by owners or trainers.

Horse Safety

is key to having fun with horses.

Horses do not see the world as we do. They do not know how big and strong that they are, add to this the fact that they are prey animals by nature and this makes horses inherently dangerous! Not because they are normally mean but because they are normally more sensitive and skittish than humans. They communicate with their bodies as sign language not with words or logic.

Ride Safely!

In Gilroy, California

No Matter how you ride--Western or English-- it is all about BALANCE. In any type saddle, "if" you can easily stand in the stirrups with a slightly bent knee and are able to hold this position while the horse moves forward or sideways; you will have the best chance of staying on. Why? Because you will be in BALANCE relative to the earth, TERRA FIRMA. The horse is always in balance with the earth, even when he is bucking. If you can move quickly between sitting and standing in balance you can learn to safely walk, trot, canter, gallop, jump, ride a spin or buck.
