Our Cavesson training is an important part of our initial work with the horses, we use a simple cavesson with one single ring on the nose.

Step 1 of our training program, **Cavesson Training**, plays a crucial role in establishing a strong foundation for both the horse and rider.

The cavesson is a versatile piece of equipment that allows the handler to communicate effectively with the horse without the complexity of a bridle or bit. By using a cavesson, riders can focus on teaching the horse the fundamental principles of connection, response, and balance through groundwork.

This step helps the horse understand subtle cues and encourages relaxation, which is essential for building trust and confidence. Cavesson training promotes the development of proper posture and alignment, as it enables the horse to engage its muscles in a way that supports future work under saddle.

Additionally, it provides the rider with a clear opportunity to observe and correct any behavioral or physical issues that may arise before moving onto more advanced stages of training. By prioritizing cavesson training, both the horse and rider build a solid, harmonious relationship that lays the groundwork for a more fluid and responsive partnership throughout the rest of the training process.

The cavesson is NOT to be used as an instrument for punishment in any way shape or form, the cavesson is to aid us in teaching the horses how to use their bodies in a way that is more conducive with comfortable riding for both us and them. 

We advise that you DO NOT use any artificial aids to put your horse in a posture.
