Develop your horse. Develop yourself as a trainer.From connection and communication to body awareness, fitness and purposeful training. One complete method, for every horse, at every level and suited to different ambitions.
The Human & Horse Method is not about simply performing exercises, but about truly learning to train. You learn to look, feel and understand what your horse needs physically and mentally, and you can draw on a broad toolbox to respond to it.
With groundwork, lunging, work in hand, liberty, riding, fitness and bodywork, you work step by step on communication, body awareness, mobility, stability, coordination, strength and quality of movement.
Always tailored to the individual horse, with attention to a healthy build-up of training and room to explore, adjust and keep developing.
Develop your feel for energy, intention and response, and refine the attunement between you and your horse.
Build cooperation, trust and a subtle shared language that forms the basis for further training and development.
Learn to read body, behaviour and movement better and better, and discover how to develop your training from that insight.
Use different forms of training purposefully, from groundwork and lunging to work in hand, riding and bodywork.
Keep building purposefully on strength, balance, coordination, mobility, self-confidence and independence in both human and horse.
Build clear communication and body awareness, and lay a strong foundation for movement, aids and cooperation.
Work at a distance on movement, rhythm, balance and coordination, and refine your eye for how your horse moves and organises itself.
Refine posture, timing, coordination, balance and use of the body, and build specifically on the quality of movement.
Bring everything together in movement under the rider and keep developing use of the body, balance, strength and expression.
Training is not only about an exercise or performance. Well-dosed training is part of the daily care and sustainable development of your horse, physically and mentally.
When I attended a “horse massage” workshop in July 2012 at what was then Blokkadevrij Paard, run by Greetje, I knew straight away: Bongo was amazing, and I immediately thought Greetje was a wonderful and very special person. I continued following her journey with Bongo on social media.

During our latest training sessions with Edward Gal, I felt something beginning to change in Nevada. Not just physically. His body was becoming more connected, but at the same time, something was shifting within him. He became bigger. Prouder. More confident.

Training, body use, muscle development and nutrition are far more closely connected than we sometimes realise. Together with Edwin Bos from Hartog, we explore what a horse truly needs to become stronger, fitter and develop more sustainably; and why an individual approach can make all the difference.

preparation & body awareness
strength & quality of movement
mobility & low-impact fitness
trust & communication
timing, observation & refinement
One method. Different goals. Everyone their own starting point.
One person wants more connection and liberty. Another wants to make their horse physically stronger. An instructor wants to expand their toolbox. Someone with a young horse is looking for a good foundation. An older combination is looking for low-impact fitness. You do not need to have the same goal to train from the same principles.
Big sporting ambitions, or above all a deeper connection with your horse? Beginner trainer or experienced professional? Young horse, sport horse or senior?
You do not need to have the same goal to learn from the same principles.
We do not just teach you exercises. We teach you to develop a horse.
Discover audition moments, training journeys and transformations from Human & Horse students. See how both human and horse develop through greater understanding, communication, balance and training.
