Are you concerned about sending your horse away for breaking in or training? 

Your horse is precious, you've formed a special relationship and you don't trust anyone to work your horse for you but you have training issues you know should be being fixed......

but there's too much energy, it's scary and it's all just too much...

When you do get a chance to train there seems to be yet another issue?

Does this sound familiar?  We can help.

The team have grown up caring for and looking after horses; We know the ups and downs of riding and can relate to the fears and excitement it can bring.

At Abderry horses are treated as individuals, regardless of their stage of training and we have the facilities to work horses even when it's really wet.

Hi Jan We were very happy with Sharki’s stay, and Jess is enjoying her coaching.  So can you please pass on our appreciation to Cheski and other staff. Kind regards Hans Buwalda 14/06/11

We'll clock up the routine miles that'll get and keep your horse fit and you can then enjoy quality time riding when you do have time.  Because we are used to working with young and over enthusiastic horses we have developed facilities and techniques to work them through problems.

We get a real kick out of watching horses and riders form, or sometimes reform, the bond that is essential for future success in whatever discipline that may be.

Because of this, we encourage you to be as involved as much as you wish with the training process. The communication between you and your horse is vital and as we aspire for your future success we'll discuss in great depth exactly how we've handled and worked your horse.  We'll coach you through each step we've taken so you have a good understanding of what is being done and how to continue the work in the future.

Our training methods don't have a fancy title. They are based on common sense, learning theories, and experience that thousands of individual horses have taught us over the years. We're just normal human beings, so we can't use strong arm tactics but we have the advantage of being able to relax in our work because we do it everyday and we have purpose built facilities to use.

We train in a positive, non-aggressive, learning environment and teach each horse individually, appreciating that not all horses are the same. We will continue to provide support if required after your horse has graduated. Click here to find out about coaching.

In addition to the education of your horse, we will also take care of it as if it were our own.

• Its feet will be done by our experienced farrier
• We will use the vet and other health professionals if required by the horse (at your request, or with your permission)
• Your horses teeth can be taken care of if required (at your request, or with your permission)
• Your horse will be fed and supplemented, appropriate to it's needs with Abderry feed or we can use your own feed if you already have a feeding system that's working well for you.
• Your horse will be covered as appropriate to the weather conditions, if it doesn't know how to wear one, we can educate it safety.
• Your horse will be paddocked individually or with friends in our safe paddocks, the choice is yours!

Sending your horse away can be a nerve-racking experience for any horse owner, allow us to answer any questions you have and feel free to contact us to visit – and ask as many questions as you want.
