Christina Wyman Equine Perception and Behaviour
Develop connection through understanding how equine perception shapes behaviour.
what I do
Philosophy
I believe in creating a nurturing and supportive training environment for both horse and human. I prioritize the well-being of horses and support clients in developing leadership, confidence and connection with their horses. I focus on supporting owners in developing an understanding of the way horses feel, communicate and perceive the world around them in order to understand and improve equine behaviour. All my training and relationship building principles involve developing connection and clear communication methods without fear or force. If we can learn to listen, notice and understand what our horses are telling us through their behaviour, we can improve the connection and partnerships for a lifetime. Learning the skills and confidence to modify and improve your horses behaviour yourself is one of the most rewarding endeavours of horsemanship.. I have developed my horsemanship skills and philosophy through my experience with the training approach and horsemanship of Kelly Marks and Intelligent horsemanship. I have recently achieved my Intelligent Horsemanship Diploma and my Monty Roberts Introductory Course Of Horsemanship , both of which have shaped everything I do when working with horses and their owners. I am currently working on case studies relating to loading and ground work with clients and their horses, my ultimate goal is to become an intelligent horsemanship recommended trainer. horse training
Groundwork And Handling Skills
The importance of ground work to build trust, communication, acceptance and a deeper bond with our horses cannot be overstated.. Groundwork exercises build confidence using clear communication and timing, with a focus on facilitating confident, fair and force free leadership. In hand exercises teach the fundamentals of groundwork that can improve leading, loading and safe handling of horses. If your horse lacks manners on the ground, I can tailor ground work exercises to build confidence, trust and leadership that develop your confidence and handling skills. Spending quality time on ground work exercises is an excellent way to improve your horses behaviour, build trust and connection, as well as enjoying being present and in the moment with your horse. Ground work exercises are excellent for building fitness, coordination, relaxation and self regulation within human and equine partnerships. If you need help improving your ground work and handling skills, I offer consultations, visits and tailored exercises to support you and your horse. leading and loading equestrian horse training
LOADING HELP
If you need help loading your horse, I offer consultations and one to one visits to assess and establish the underlying issues relating to loading. If your horse needs retraining to load willingly and safely, I offer a service that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying issues that are preventing your horse from wanting to load. Once this has been accurately established, I can then work with your horse to support and teach them to load willingly, safely and calmly without fear, force or punishment. Taking time and creating the right environment for horses to learn how to do the right thing when loading is paramount to any loading or groundwork I undertake. Retraining exercises are tailored to the individual horses needs, experience and perception of loading. All ground work and loading preparation exercises are based on incremental learning to build your horses confidence and sense of security. This is established through calm and fair leadership based training. which is enjoyable and rewarding for both horse and human. leading and loading
ACCEPTANCE TRAINING HELP
If you need help to introduce or retrain your horse to accept new objects, stimuli or situations that worry them, I can help. Learning how to safely introduce your horse to new objects and teach them to accept new things willingly is a fundamental element of horse training. Acceptance training is a vital tool for creating calm, willing and confident horses. When working with individual horses on the ground, the journey and the process is the most important and rewarding part of my work. My work focuses on the needs, confidence and experience of the individual horses and their owners.. Working with horses in this way maximises the opportunities to use their natural curiosity through application of Incremental learning exercises. I can encourage your horse to accept human leadership, develop self confidence and confidence in the leadership of their human. leading and loading

Our obstacles include exercises that involve teaching your horse over, under round and through exercises both in hand and ridden.
