FAQ
What is the W.E.N. Performance Assessment?
The W.E.N. Performance Assessment is the starting point for most clients. It looks at the horse–rider system as a whole, analysing biomechanics, rider influence and the structure of the current training. The goal is to identify what may be limiting progress and create a clear path forward.
Do I have to book the assessment first?
In most cases, yes. The assessment provides the information needed to make training effective and targeted. It helps avoid guesswork and ensures that the following sessions focus on what will truly benefit the horse.
But you do not have to book he assesment first.
What types of horses do you work with?
The program works with a wide range of horses, including young horses, leisure horses, children’s ponies and performance horses. The approach focuses on improving communication, movement quality and training clarity regardless of discipline.
My horse has training problems. Can this still help?
Yes. Many training problems are linked to tension, imbalance or misunderstandings between horse and rider. By analysing these elements together, we can often identify the underlying cause and develop a more effective training approach.
What if I’m not sure whether this is right for my horse?
You can contact me with a short description of your horse and current training situation. I will help you decide whether the W.E.N. assessment is the right starting point.
How long does it take to see improvement?
Some horses show changes immediately when small adjustments are made. However, lasting improvement usually develops over time as horse and rider adapt to the new training structure.
Do you only teach Working Equitation?
Working Equitation exercises are often used because they help develop coordination, responsiveness and mental engagement. However, the program focuses on improving the overall horse–rider system and can support many disciplines.
Is this suitable for beginners?
Yes. The approach is adapted to the rider’s experience level. The goal is always to create clarity and confidence for both horse and rider.
Do you also work with sensitive or difficult horses?
Yes. Many sensitive horses benefit from a training approach that focuses on understanding their physical and mental responses rather than increasing pressure.
Do you travel or is training only at your location?
Depending on the situation, sessions can be arranged at your location or at the training facility. Please contact me to discuss availability and travel options.
What makes the W.E.N. approach different?
The W.E.N. approach focuses on understanding the complete horse–rider system. Instead of only addressing symptoms, it looks at biomechanics, mental readiness and training structure together to create sustainable progress.
