What is Horsecraft?
We will look at the definition of good horsemanship across the disciplines and the common threads and attributes of good Horsecraft practitioners
A few of our Guiding Principles:
✅ Do the best you can with what you know.
✅ Then when you know better, do better.
✅ Take life lightly and enjoy the ride.
✅ Test yourself. Test your horse. Test your relationship, but realize that there will be limitations as you learn and grow. Find satisfaction in all of the little steps along the way. If you feel it, your horse will too.
The learning combines traditional horsemanship, with science-backed exercises and stories of our own successes and failures over the years, to help you develop the instincts and environment your horse needs to thrive and connect with you.

Our Top Tip For Building Trust with YOUR Horse

Support your horse, build your confidence, and elicit trust
Be the leader your horse needs and get one step closer to MAGIC!
My name is Paige Lockton, and as an International competitor in the sport of Three-Day Eventing; just a regular girl who came from a small Northern town; I had to learn to make the most of the horses I had. Without money for a string of EASY, athletic, well-trained horses … I had to get creative! To pay for my career in international Eventing, I rode confirmed bolters, anxious mares, and rearing stallions - horses that no one else wanted get on.
“Send it to that long-legged Canadian - SHE’LL RIDE IT! She’ll ride ANYTHING!”
Thankfully, growing up as the daughter of a veterinarian endowed me with an innate ability to calm traumatized animals.
I know what it takes to inspire trust, and create willing partners who are happy to see you at the gate and outperform better bred horses!
I also taught keen adult amateurs from non-horsey families and witnessed them struggle to develop ‘feel’ and the relationship of mutual trust they dreamed of. So often, they just didn’t understand the species, so their reactions were all wrong!
Their intentions were good, but they were unwittingly causing tension that too often ended in rearing, refusals, and losing confidence by the day. I helped them through their frustration as they grappled with assimilating conflicting ‘methods’ between horse pros.
In this unregulated industry where anyone can hang their hat, I have seen EVERYTHING! Where do you start and how do you know who to trust? I get it. No wonder you are confused!
In fact, I struggled with this, too. Over the decades, I was lucky to learn from the best horse people from across the disciplines … but it wasn’t easy! It was confusing to assimilate all of their methods and approaches.
I filtered my learning through my Dad’s lens – a revered vet and horseman – and together we figured out how to gel methodologies and philosophies. We found the ONE THING that ALL the Magicians in the world of Horsecraft agreed on.
Here, we share the first thing you need to know to help YOU develop your instincts, build trust, be the leader your horse needs, and improve your horse-human relationship. It's a philosophy we live by with horses ... AND LIFE!
