What free learning resources do you have for me to start with to see if I like what you do?
​
Great question. You should check out what a trainer does and whether they walk the talk before you decide if they are the trainer to help you. Trusting a trainer is about being able to predict their behaviour, so looking at what they produce and what others have to say is a good way to check them out and know if they are trustworthy.

I can’t recommend Ben enough he has helped me to become a better equine teacher to my boys. I understand so much more now than I have in over 4 years. His style of teaching is different he teaches us how to think and become confident trainers. I love all the theory work so I can understand why I’m doing what I’m doing and not just going through a linear type of training. Ben makes you think more and doesn’t tell you what to do but if you need help he’s always there.

Ben Hart has changed the way I see and work with my horses. He has a true understanding of equines, and can help you find a way to work with yours that involves trust, confidence-building, and safe yet progressive stretching of comfort zones. Along with in-person clinics and training, Ben offers an absolute gold mine of e-books and online learnings. He's also built an incredible online "equine centered community" for his students and like-minded equestrians. So even if you can't get to Ben in person, you can still take full advantage of his amazing wealth of knowledge.
