Coaching - Equine Partnership with Phillippa Christie

Positive Horsemanship

Are you longing for a deeper connection with your horse? Do you dream of a training approach that feels less like a battle and more like a conversation?

As a passionate equestrian, I understand that you want a willing and happy partner, a horse who not only understands what you’re asking but is also motivated to engage. My behaviour-based training methods, grounded in scientific principles and a deep respect for your horse’s well-being, offer a pathway to exactly that.

By focusing on clear communication, positive reinforcement, and creating the right environment for your horse to thrive, we can move beyond frustration and towards a joyful partnership built on trust and understanding.

If you’re seeking a training approach that prioritises your horse’s mental and emotional state while achieving your goals, you’ve come to the right place.

Here are some ways we can connect and work together.

What Clients Say

Very interesting weekend, learned so many new things, and new techniques, I would HIGHLY recommend Phillippa.

Excellent clinic. Great balance of anatomy, bitless design and fitting. Phillippa has an excellent teaching style and her work on very well researched.

Thank you so much for today, I'm blown away by your gift. You have no idea how happy I am. We are all blown away here.

I learnt so much about Equine psychology and fun things to do with my pony to build on our bond. I realise now how very clever he is and how much he enjoys working. He worked with various handlers during the weekend and gained so much valuable experience for such a young pony being only 3 years old. I can see we will have a long and fun partnership thanks to Phillippa's advice.

I wanted to drop you a note to say how interesting I thought the course was, particularly how you put the teaching into the context of both the science and the herd observation. Personally, I love the blend of science and intuition, experience and feel and I think you did a really good job of bringing these elements together.

Phillppa is talented and has a deep level of understanding for horses, which shows in everything she does. We ran a 2 day clinic in our yard Amusant Equestrian with and it was so much more than I expected. Everyone that attended took home new skills for training their own horses, and each person enjoyed it immensely with the question begin asked... when is the next clinic being held ?

Got the [Bitless Masterclass] dvd and book for Xmas, absolutely love it, so much to learn but all explained in an easy to understand way.

I was very impressed with her depth of knowledge and experience and enthusiasm to engage with every participant and their horses. I personally came away with a totally new perspective on horse training!

It was really amazing watching you work, and actually seeing my horse gain confidence !!

Allowing the horse to choose best bitless to suit their preferences as opposed to solely ours. It changed that perspective. The clinic was incredibly inspirational and I highly recommend attending a day. Phillipas presentation skills and warm engaging nature allowed us to feel comfortable asking any questions and I came away feeling more confident in my abilities to use a bitless in the future.
