PRE-TRAINING

At Biddick Breaking and Pre-Training, Will has access to state-of-the-art facilities, whether the horse in question is being trained straight after breaking in or it’s coming back from a rest period before going into a selected yard, these top-notch amenities provide an ideal environment for transitioning horses from breaking-in to more advanced training stages. During this stage, he focuses on developing the horse’s physical conditioning and technical skills through flatwork schooling and jump training.

Will’s approach to pre-training involves a blend of patience, expertise, and a deep understanding of equine behaviour. He tailors each session to suit the horse's progress, ensuring that it builds confidence and capability in a supportive and professional setting. By schooling on the flat, he refines the horse’s balance, rhythm, and responsiveness, essential qualities for any discipline. Additionally, introducing the horse to jumping, he fosters agility, coordination, and confidence over obstacles.
