Foundational training and routine care with equestrian Katie Barber.
As a horsewoman with classical training, clinical experience and a gentle spirit I find that my success comes from being able to confidently and consistently instil trust in both the horses that I work with and the humans who belong to them.

“The improvements in my horse’s fitness, attitude and ability since Katie has been working him have been amazing. As a super smart and highly traumatised stb, he can be a challenge, but her approach and ability to read his needs has created opportunities from these challenges and delivered incredible steps forward on the ground and under saddle. Katie’s willingness to move at his speed, asking things of him in times and places that are appropriate have got us to a place I wasn’t sure we’d ever reach.”

“I can't thank Katie enough for the amazing care she has provided my horse with. Katie always puts my horse's needs first and is incredibly knowledgeable. Under her care, my horse has never looked better! I'm so grateful to have found someone who treats my horse with such attention and expertise.”

“ Looking back I think Katie taught me even more than she taught my problem horse. She helped me to practice regulating my energy and refining my actions. She often spoke to me about what it really meant to trust my horse. She convinced me to invest time and patience into methods that would result in a lightness that I couldn’t have predicted. I strongly recommend Katie as a teacher, she is gifted and profound, as well as being an exceptional horse handler.”
