What Kind of Training is This?

Adaptive Development EQ is a Highly Effective Approach to Equine Wellness

The Big Picture

Adaptive Development EQ is a comprehensive methodology built on the traditional regimens of the classical European riding schools. For hundreds of years, these schools have produced some of the world’s most admired riding horses. Yet the development process can be confusing and filled with stumbling blocks. From this foundation, Adaptive Development EQ creates an educational pathway that breaks the process into individual, achievable elements.

A Customized Matrix

The result is a modern, developmental road map that holistically addresses each horse-and-rider team as a unique creation. Each partnership requires a customized matrix of elements to thrive, much the same way that children build with alphabet blocks. This individualized approach is essential for sustaining consistently brilliant results from one horse to the next.

This matrix is constantly evolving and, at every step, takes a holistic, whole-horse approach. To help the horse thrive in the long term, we must keep its overall well-being in constant focus. The approach also recognizes the rider’s development process, building in skill and finesse as the horse’s education increases.

What You Get

Adaptive Development EQ, like the namesake suggests, is an adaptive, developmental training process that will give you and your horse:

  1. Increased in-saddle unity with a focus on developing the biodynamic proficiency of both horse and rider
  2. An expanded assessment toolbox that addresses all aspects of horsemanship from health and nutrition to hoof care and soundness
  3. A stronger foundation in, and clearer understanding of underlying theory of the classical masters
  4. A more sensitive “ear” and “voice” to foster understanding of the constant conversation between you and your horse
  5. A more sensitive “eye” and “feel” to maximize training success
  6. The judgment to know when and how to apply non-standard methods for difficult stumbling blocks
  7. A non-static training path to help you achieve your desired goals
