Self-Paced Short Courses
We know there are times where a short, self-paced course is exactly what you need to help you on your way. We are developing a number of these courses for you to access when you need them and to work through at your own pace.
Our first self-paced course, Prioritise Your Training: Giving you the clarity & confidence to know what to train today (see below), has been developed in response to a need we saw from horse (and other species) owners who are confused and overwhelmed about what they should be training. This course is designed to support you in ditching any analysis-paralysis (and associated inaction & negative feelings) and getting all the clarity & confidence you need about what to train with your horse today and into the near-future. It’s a process that when you’ve done it once, you can go back to again and again (and, you’ll have access to the course for the life of the course if you need talking through it).
Read on below to find out more and purchase the course to get your head and your plan clear.
We look forward to bringing you more self-paced, short courses soon.
Prioritise Your Training
Giving you the clarity & confidence to know what to train today.
It is easy to feel overwhelmed by the list of the things we could (and should) be training our equines to do. Our lives are busy and, as much as we would like to, it is impossible to do all the things as quickly as we might want to.
The overwhelm can lead us to some unpleasant feelings, including guilt, and those feelings can lead us to inaction and doing nothing, and feeling even worse - GAH! It can also lead us to over-spend: when we’re purchasing training courses, clinics and learning opportunities with a scatter-gun approach, none of which may be helping us with the actual things that are training priorities for us and our horse.
How do you move past that to a place of clarity and action?
This short, self-paced course will guide you through 6-steps to help clear any ‘analysis-paralysis’ and get you clear on your training priorities. The lessons will take you through a strategic, step-by-step process to leave you feeling clear, confident and positive about your direction and knowing what action to take next.
Working through this short-course will save you time and money: it’s an efficient process that will help you target your efforts, whether that’s your own training or finding the right course/membership/coach/trainer to help you with what you actually need, rather than a scatter-gun approach.
Because we know how busy life is, each lesson is short. We’ve made each lesson available as a video (where you can choose to purely listen to the audio) OR read a text version.
You can complete this whole course at once (it could take less than a couple of hours), or you can take your time and sleep on each point for a night or two. There is no right or wrong way, it’s whatever works best for the way your brain ticks.
The process we guide you through in this course applies no matter what your training approach is. It can also be used for species other than equines. It’s a process that you can do multiple times, because life is never static. Once you know how to do this once, you can repeat it as often as you need and for as many different equines (or other animals as you need).

"I'm extremely easily distracted by the next new thing, which means I have a never-ending list of training goals but no sense of what I should focus on first. In this self-paced course, Sarah does a fantastic job of outlining the steps to take to identify needs vs wants and then to prioritise the now vs later goals. I especially loved the section on commonalities, which I haven't thought about before but will keep at the forefront of my mind moving forward - working on skills that will build on multiple goals is so clever! And did I mention I'm not a horse person? I primarily live and work with dogs and parrots. This course is a great resource for anyone interested in streamlining their training goals." - Belinda
