The finer details

Equido Level Three offers concepts and teaching that can enable the student to fully acquire the knowledge of a professional Yard Manager and Horse Trainer.

It is at this level that the use of energy and Equido training ethos is applied and students may wish to begin to diversify into specific areas of expertise.

For example, some students may prefer to specialize in work from the ground as opposed to ridden techniques. 

A huge emphasis is put onto the psychology of the horse and meeting the training requirements whilst satisfying the needs of the horse.

It will be a revelation for some students that you can produce top quality competition horses using totally alternative training methods without compromising on performance and ability.

  • Equine Psychology
  • Foal Handling
  • Principles of Riding
  • Assessing the Horse
  • Health Checks
  • Training the Horse
  • Training the Horse for Competition
  • Trailer Loading
