Mankind has shared its history with the horse for millennia, utilizing their strength, speed, and endurance, while admiring their beauty and elegance. We owe it to these magnificent animals to provide them with a lifestyle and care that respects their wild origins. Furthermore, our methods of riding and training should enhance their natural beauty, rather than detract from it. Happy Horse Training embodies a truly holistic approach to our interactions with horses, integrating all aspects necessary to foster a positive cycle of well-being and performance. We stand out as one of the few in the equestrian world to effectively bridge the gap between natural horse care and training grounded in gymnastic principles.
This website serves as an extensive resource, offering over 100 in-depth articles designed to assist horse owners in harmonizing natural care with effective riding and training practices. Happy Horse Training is the creation of sisters Camille and Gabrielle Dareau, based in the South-West of France.
Understanding Real Dressage Riding
True dressage riding is characterized by a genuine passion for improving your horse’s way of going and discovering the profound unity achievable between horse and rider. You don’t need to be a dedicated dressage rider for the information presented here to benefit your equestrian pursuits. Regardless of your chosen discipline, mastering the fundamentals of riding will significantly enhance your enjoyment and your horse’s experience of being ridden. Within our dressage section, you will uncover insights into the rider’s fundamental interaction with the horse that are often overlooked, even by top dressage trainers.
Effective Horse Training Made Accessible
Horse training can appear to be a daunting task. Whether you are starting with a young horse or aiming to make progress with an older one, the array of techniques and training philosophies can be overwhelming. However, universal principles underpin all successful horse training and are essential for any horse. Imagine the confidence gained from understanding your objectives and a clear, step-by-step process to achieve them.

A Natural Approach to Equine Health
If you are seeking natural or holistic solutions for common equine issues, focusing on addressing the root cause rather than merely treating symptoms, you will find valuable assistance here.

Natural Hoof Care: Essential for Equine Well-being
An increasing number of horse owners are recognizing the detrimental effects of shoeing, understanding that its damaging consequences extend beyond the hoof itself. Natural hoof care allows a horse’s hooves to function as nature intended, contributing to their overall health. Our passion for the way horses move through dressage has underscored the fundamental role that naturally healthy hooves play in supple locomotion.
Energy Therapy: Aiding Horse and Rider
All living beings possess a fundamental energetic intelligence that governs healthy bodily function. Issues that arise with horses, whether physical or behavioral, often stem from an energetic imbalance. Similarly, riders can be hindered by blockages that impede their body’s ability to connect effectively with their horse. Developing an awareness of this energetic field is an accessible skill for anyone, an innate sense that we all possess but rarely utilize. Discover a unique downloadable course that unlocks this incredible realm, forming the foundation of all holistic therapies.
