My work is based on the science of behaviour and learning. This science does not belong to me, it is the result of 120 years of scientific research. I then translate the research from the science lab to practical application. This is not a method or a language of the horse but an understanding of how horses and humans really learn and behave. I am not an equine behaviourist nor a horse whisperer but rather a trainer who uses the science of behaviour and learning to deliver truth, long term honest solutions to equines and humans. The work I do is focused on helping people to understand their horses, donkeys and mules thus improving their relationships with their animals. The ultimate aim being to improve the understanding of equine behaviour, stimulate learning and encourage new perceptions of horsemanship. The work provides education, so equine owners and trainers have honest proven information to make better decisions relating to equine training methods.

Hear Ben explore the domestication of equines, the underlying purpose of all training.

The contents of this site are not designed to be an ABC of horse training as that would contradict the theory of learning being individual. Every product and service is designed to promote thinking and learning in the reader, thereby developing individual thought processes and problem solving abilities. My principles and understanding of horses and teaching can be used as a base for the application of other horse training methods or to build on existing knowledge. I do not seek to condemn other methods or ideas but rather to provoke thought base on facts, so people can more consciously choose their own path. The concept of "walking the talk" establishes my desire to act in accordance with my beliefs at all times, to do what I say I am doing and ensure that behaviour is consistent with what I teach. By teaching people how to think and develop their own confidence the equine enthusiast will have a greater understanding of the equine human relationship.

Both humans and equines are unique individuals and therefore relationships between them are also unique. I set out to create understanding of how equines learn, it is the learners' choice how to interpret and develop their own horsemanship skills using the services and products I provide.

What I can get your horse to do, is less important than what you can learn to do with your horse.
