Hart's Horsemanship - Colyton

Karen Fleming

I can honestly say that working with Ben has completely changed my approach to how I work with my horses. Ben’s approach is equine centred, where the needs of the horse are placed firmly at the centre of any change work. I really believed I was empathetic to the needs of my horses before I started on this journey, but Ben has gently challenged my assumptions and supported me to take an altogether different perspective. When I took on a little rescue pony, I had no idea of the challenges that lay ahead. Her anxiety and confusion could have so easily been misinterpreted and labelled as ‘mareish’ or ‘naughty’. Ben has the ability to immediately identify the root cause of apparent behavioural issues, and empowers his clients to develop the skills needed to help their equines for themselves. My little pony is gradually building her resilience and learning to live comfortably in her new, domesticated world. And without Ben’s help that would not have happened

Ben Hart has changed the way I see and work with my horses. He has a true understanding of equines, and can help you find a way to work with yours that involves trust, confidence-building, and safe yet progressive stretching of comfort zones. Along with in-person clinics and training, Ben offers an absolute gold mine of e-books and online learnings. He's also built an incredible online "equine centered community" for his students and like-minded equestrians. So even if you can't get to Ben in person, you can still take full advantage of his amazing wealth of knowledge.

I have worked with Ben over a number of years and can truly say that he has made a huge difference both to my horsemanship and my self knowledge.

His aim is not to tell you what to do, but to help you find your way and for you to understand your choices.

Teaching about the science of behaviour, his programme is backed up with extensive knowledge of horse, and importantly human behaviour plus a wealth of experience.

On top of his knowledge is the fact that he is a genuine and caring man who really wants you to be the best you can be.

I absolutely love Ben's style of teaching, his equine-centred approach, and the way he supports each of us on our journeys. The things I've learned being part of the Equine Centred Community have made a huge difference in the lives of the ponies and donkeys at our small sanctuary! And Ben is always there to help and support me if I run into an issue that I don't know how to handle. I highly, highly recommend his courses and the Equine Centred Community!

I can’t recommend Ben enough he has helped me to become a better equine teacher to my boys. I understand so much more now than I have in over 4 years. His style of teaching is different he teaches us how to think and become confident trainers. I love all the theory work so I can understand why I’m doing what I’m doing and not just going through a linear type of training. Ben makes you think more and doesn’t tell you what to do but if you need help he’s always there.

Ben Hart is truly an equid training professional. If you are tired of watching “quick fix” videos about horse training and wondering why you never seem to have the same success training your horse, it is time to step back, learn the fundamentals of equid learning behaviors, how to write a shaping plan, and implement it. While it seems like this is a slow process, I guarantee you will not be struggling with the same issues with your horse, donkey, or mule in 10 years. Taking the time to acquire this knowledge will improve your relationship with your horse/donkey/mule. It will enrich their lives as well as yours and provide greater safety and security for your animals and yourself.
