Breaking in the horse
The Training process of breaking in the horse can take place both in the horse's usual surroundings or where the horse stays with me. Usually it is most appropriate that the horse is staying with me during the training period. In this way the process will go much faster. However it is recommended that the owner come as often as possible to participate in training, as it is the owner himself who must end up becoming the horse's natural leader.
In the Breaking Training processes I work first of all with the horse from the ground, which takes place with horse free (no halters or other equipment) and here the horse will learn to follow the leader unconditionally. This must include learning the horse to stand still, so the owner in the future can get his horse to stand anywhere without needing to tie it. Hereafter I will teach the horse from the ground the various signals that are used doing riding.
When the horse fore the first time experience to have a rider on his back, this will also happen totally free (no halters, saddle or other equipment). The next thing I train is that I can control the horse solely by the mane. I do so based on the consideration that I think that the horse is such a big strong animal that it is never 100% achievable to control it with coercion. If the horse really has decided to consider man as its leader, then it will listen to even our gentlest signal even if it is only through a single hair.
When the horse has chosen man as its leader, I am working on with the riding training with a bridle without bitt. And a treeless saddle or bare back pad - and then the real riding training can begin. Here I learn your horse the basic training and also work a lot with getting the horse more flexible and of course muscle building. I don’t think that there is any results that there can be achieved with bitts and saddles, which cannot be achieved just as well without.
Should you wish to continue your riding training with traditional equipment for example because your riding at competition level, this can easily be combined. The only difference will be that horse from the start, are extra sensitive and therefore will react on smaller signals. A breaking in training process will typically take a month and sometimes two. Its Depending on the individual horse.
See testimonials here:
When my daughter was 5 years old she wanted to start riding. We found a local riding school, but we both quickly became tired of it.
First, the horses were almost unmanageable, and secondly, I had to walk around with the horse on a leash. Additional to this were the use of the whip, which came from completely inexperienced riders, which I found quite distasteful.
In the early spring of 2006 we got new neighbors. And in moved 3 horses. My daughter was immediately fire and flame, and spent much time over there. One day she told me that she was riding a small pony without a bit, I had to get over there and see what was happening. It sounded dangerous in my ears. I came into the small indoor arena. just as mine daughter was standing directly behind the horse and my heart stood still. I had always been told that you could not stand behind a horse's hind legs because they can kick. But this little pony stood quietly and enjoyed being cuddled on the butt, free and without a leash. My curiosity was aroused and I spent the following days and weeks to consider Mia `s way to handle the horses. With calmness, patience and above all, love was the one horse after another transformed from anxious and sometimes dangerous horses to calm "put in your pocket horse." They became horses that would follow your every move.
In autumn 2006, there arrived a pinto mare to the farm, Bess was very pretty but wild and afraid of everything. I followed Mia closely in the training of this horse and was aware that the key word in breaking patterns / retraining is love. With praise and love, this beautiful horse became use to being ridden, even though it had been exposed to some ugly experiences in the past. It took less than a month before Bess was so confident and calm that I dare let my daughter ride her no -bite and no saddle.
I am now the happy owner of Bess.

Hello,
I can only recommend Mia. I have just now a very determined and awake lady in training with her. But I have only praise for Mia's work with her. She has reached very far with her and it was otherwise a horse I found to difficult to imagine ever being a riding horse! But it went against all expectations, and Mia has worked with her in a calm manner, so I now have a horse I dare put myself up on.
It is true that Mia, do not use much equipment and she has also ridden my horse whitout a bitt and a saddle. But this is her approach to things, and either one believes in it, or otherwise there's plenty of other options. But I'm pretty sure that if my horse had been broken in, another place, it could have gone really wrong. But now I have a horse who believe that man is her leader, and she are trusting them;-)
Regards Jane
