John-Mark Payne specialises in starting young horses, re-educating older mounts or even just furthering your horse's education. John-Mark has broken in thousands of horses in his equine career and is today breaking in some of the most successful young horses in the competitive industry.
Starting or backing a young horse is a process which ultimately has the power to shape your horse's feelings on being ridden for many years to come. Decisions made during those initial few weeks have the potential to impact your horse's feelings towards carrying a rider for the rest of his life.
A reining horse must be relaxed and confident in the reining pen and only a one-step-at-a-time training program will accomplish that. There is no better way to instill confidence and knowledge into your horse than to teach him the first steps first - the "basics".
The sport of dressage has existed for as long as people have been riding horses. Very simply, it is the art of training your horse to its full potential.
Using techniques that will make sure your horse remains unafraid and comfortable, John Payne will also provide techniques for managing horses that will load but are nervous going on, or are nervous once they’re on the float.
