Artistic Horsemanship

My journey into Artistic Horsemanship began over two decades ago, driven by a deep, abiding love for horses and a fascination with the unspoken language that binds horse and rider.

From a young age, the subtle, almost mystical communication between horse and human sparked a lifelong quest to nurture and understand this profound connection.

My emphasis is on creating a soulful connection that transcends mere technique. I believe that true horsemanship extends beyond physical cues, delving into an intimate bond that resonates on emotional, spiritual, and energetic levels. This connection unlocks the transformative potential within every rider and horse, revealing the beauty that emerges when they move as one.

Whether you're seeking to refine your skills or forge a new path with your horse, I invite you to step into a space where horsemanship becomes a spiritual practice, and every interaction with your horse is a step toward creating something truly beautiful.

Presentation Schedule:

TESTIMONIALS

Aggressive Young Horse Transforms with Owner into a Happy, Confident Team

I have been attending private clinics with Lynley for the past 2 years. I arrived with a new, young horse with quite a few issues and who was at times very aggressive. Having not ridden for a few years, I was out of my depth. 

 

We are now a happy, confident team and every day I am excited to work with my horse. 

 

She is an incredible teacher and coach, creating space (for) your awareness and observation skills to really develop, to really see your horse and empowering you to find ways to help your horse and deepen your partnership. 

 

Lynley is kind, calm, intuitive and incredibly knowledgeable. She has given me the confidence and skills to trust myself. I’m now so excited about my horse journey, I only wish I’d found her earlier.

Empowering you to become a Well-rounded and thoughtful Horse Trainer

Joining a private clinic can be an incredible opportunity to connect with others who share your passion for horse training, regardless of your chosen discipline.

Lynley's approach is centred around empowering you to become thoughtful, and well-rounded with your horse, and she encourages you to believe in your abilities.

Her teachings are designed to help you see and understand what's best for you and your horse, while also instilling in you a sense of confidence and a willingness to take on new challenges.

Ultimately, you'll develop a strong and trusting relationship with your horse, all while remaining true to yourself.

Thanks for so much Lynley

A Hormanship Journey of Self-discovery and Growth 

Lynley is hands down the best instructor I have ever learned from. She has this great ability to work with what is in front of her, no matter what the level, ability, age or discipline. 

I love how she puts the horse first, and teaches us about communication, connection and awareness with our horses AND ourselves! I have learnt a lot about exercises to help my horse become more supple, relaxed and responsive. 

This is a continuous, exciting journey and I always look forward to my lessons with Lynley. 

She is always positive, has a great sense of humour, and has this innate ability to know how far to extend me and my horses so that we continue to grow. This also encourages self-reflection and searching for answers within myself which is such an important part of this journey. 

If you get the chance to do a camp at Lynley’s place in the Wairarapa, go for it!! It’s a great way to have concentrated time with your horse with great people and a beautiful farm. Lynley you rock!!
