Riding School – FAQ

How is this different from a traditional riding school?

Unlike traditional riding schools, where riders often spend months in an arena working on posture and theory before riding independently, this program is based on real-world learning from the very first session.

We follow a ‘Real-World Trail Riding’ approach, meaning all riding happens on the trail, not in an enclosed space. There are no lung lines, lead ropes, or repetitive drills. Instead, riders learn by doing, which accelerates the learning process compared to conventional equestrian training.

How do the lessons work?

The structure of the lessons is carefully designed, but the learning itself happens through experience on the trail. There is no coursework or theory-based instruction—everything is learned while riding.

  • Riders start on the trail immediately, without preliminary exercises in an arena.
  • There are no lung lines or lead ropes—riders control the horse themselves from the beginning.
  • There is no overemphasis on theory—each lesson is focused on practical skills that are applied in real situations.

This method allows riders to progress naturally and efficiently, developing confidence and ability at a faster rate than in a traditional riding school.

Do you provide the necessary equipment?

Yes, we provide helmets and all essential riding equipment. Riders should come dressed appropriately for horseback riding—wearing long pants, sturdy hiking shoes or boots, and weather-appropriate clothing such as a jacket or gloves when necessary.

Can I bring my own horse?

No, all training is conducted using our experienced Fearless Horses. These horses are already fully trained in bitless riding, ensuring that students can focus entirely on learning to ride rather than managing an untrained horse’s reactions. Our program is designed to help riders develop confidence and leadership while riding a fully prepared, safe, and responsive bitless horse.

➡️ In the future, we plan to offer a specialized horse training course that will help owners transition their own horses to bitless riding.

Will I learn traditional riding techniques like posture, leg aids, and the balanced seat?

This program focuses on what is most effective for real-world trail riding, rather than traditional equestrian techniques.

Many riding schools emphasize posture, a fixed “balanced seat,” and leg aids, but in actual riding situations, these concepts can be impractical. A rider’s position should adapt to the terrain and the horse’s movement, rather than follow a rigid structure. Similarly, the method taught here relies entirely on direct rein communication, eliminating the need for leg cues.

This approach makes riding simpler, easier to learn, and more effective for the types of environments covered in this program, including trail, urban, and night riding.

Is this a riding course or a horse training course?

This is a riding course, not a horse training course. Students will learn how to ride a fully trained bitless horse across different terrains, including trails, mountains, rivers, and even urban environments. The focus is on building confidence, leadership, and riding ability, not on teaching horses how to go bitless.

➡️ If you are interested in learning how to transition your own horse to bitless riding, we will be offering a specialized horse training program in the future.

Will I need ongoing lessons to improve?

Riders can continue developing their skills, but not through a traditional lesson structure. Instead of requiring long-term structured coursework, riders continue their training naturally by booking regular trail rides with us.

Because the method allows for immediate independence, progress happens much faster than in a conventional riding school, where students often remain in supervised lessons for extended periods.

Can I apply this method to any horse?

This method is designed for trained bitless horses, particularly those accustomed to leadership-based riding. Horses trained with bits, leg aids, or dominance-based methods may require a transition period before adapting to this approach.

How do I book a riding program?

Bookings can be made online through the website or by contacting us directly. For those unsure about which program best suits their experience level and goals, we are happy to provide recommendations.
