Train With Mandy

The Train with Mandy Programme is an online video coaching programme consisting of videos on various training topics. How it works is you will receive a video along with an instructional pdf on a task you then record yourself, duplicating each task and submitting your video. Mandy will respond with feedback, and you will either pass or be asked to try again and re-submit. There is no time limit on how long you take to complete the course; you work at your own pace according to your particular time constraints. After completing the course, a reward will be headed your way, as well as you own a more responsive and willing partner. The course is also a great introduction to Mandy's lessons at her live clinics.

for everyone.

Start Here: Our Skill Assessment Stages build upon one another. Please begin with Stage One.

Course 1:
Please note: 1 Horse and Handler to be assessed
 
Horsemanship Groundwork the Basics
(Tasks can be performed on any age horse)

$250

Mandy considers these groundwork basics the foundation building blocks needed to train a horse for any discipline properly. The better your horse is at the Groundwork exercises, the better he will be under saddle. The importance of groundwork cannot be emphasised enough; the horse will learn coping skills and balance, which sets them up for success in their ridden career. Mandy uses a combination of Positive and Negative reward-based training when teaching her horses. You have the option of teaching your horse Positive reward training along with Mandy, or you can just simply
opt-out of the first exercise.
