Equestrian Services
My approach is rooted in the belief that horses are intelligent, sensitive creatures that respond best to kindness and respect. By focusing on positive reinforcement and building trust through clear communication, I am able to help horses overcome behavioural challenges and develop positive relationships with their owners.
Behaviour
As an equine behaviourist, I identify issues and create personalised behaviour modification plans using positive reinforcement. My goal is to foster positive relationships between horses and owners.
Breaking In
Using a calm approach and a mixture of groundwork and ridden work I will help your horse feel confident in coming in to work. The way I work relies on a calm, patient, horse-centred approach.
Coaching
My coaching provides personalised guidance, strengthening the bond between horse and owner. I empower owners with knowledge and skills to manage behavioural challenges independently, leading to a rewarding partnership.
Schooling
I use a progressive approach to develop horses' skills over time in my schooling programs. With versatile training methods, I unlock their full potential, preparing them for success in various disciplines.

I cannot recommend Jamie enough! Not only has he helped me and my gelding through our hacking difficulties but my confidence has continued to grow massively with his guidance and support. We have had multiple behaviourists out in which have either told me to never hack again or get sunny put to sleep. Jamie provides hard work, consistency, a kind but firm sympathetic approach I would recommend him to anyone struggling with any behavioural issues

Jamie is brilliant at gaining the trust of your horse. My youngster isn’t overly peoply but loves Jamie. He is so calm and relaxed and makes everything such a pleasure. He has the patience of a saint and is quietly persistent.
He’s also given me the confidence to push myself and think out of the box. He’s made me see that all people do things differently, so why should we expect horses to all be the same.
Anyone stuck in a rut, having a wobble, losing the will or simply wanting to grow their partnership with their horse, will 100% benefit from his sessions.

Jess (owner)
Jamie was an absolute STAR to help my horse overcome his anxiety about hacking solo. He’s a really calm, quiet rider yet means business which was the perfect balance! My horse really got along with Jamie and can now hack out by himself confidently and it only took a few sessions 🤩
