Christine Fowles

Lifetime experience with horses. Trained 6 horses to all the GP movements. Long term pupil of Miguel Tavora (Australia and Portugal) and Helene Ariarnoff. (Belgium) both trained extensively with Nuno Oliviera. With my late husband Phillip, we ran a very successful breaking in, training and coaching business in the Southern Highlands for approximately 30 years. Starting many horses for some of Australia's top level riders.

Horses are wonderful creatures who aim to please. My system of training is based on the development of suppleness, balance and trust. It results in horses who are calm, light, even and physically and mentally strong. By riding a horse that is not in balance, it will only lead to heaviness, irregularity, rushing and then eventually lameness and/or irritability.

My approach is not difficult. It is many little things that the rider will learn to feel and do, and develop the judgement of knowing when to implement them, but also knowing when to let the horse carry himself..Horse and rider need consistent training together to develop the correct muscles that allow the horse to work correctly. Let your horse be your guide, listen to them and learn the skills that develop harmony, gymnastic ability and one of the best relationships you will ever have.

There is a way around every horse, you just have to find it!
