Comprehensive Training Approach

At the heart of Lincourt Stables lies a comprehensive approach to horse training with a foundation built on 30+ years of traditional/classical training in dressage, hunter, and jumper disciplines. Our experienced instructors bring a wealth of knowledge, ensuring a well-rounded education for riders seeking proficiency in these time-honored styles. We go beyond convention by implementing positive reinforcement (R+) methods, thereby fostering a nurturing and motivational environment that encourages horses to excel.

Catering to English horseback riders of all levels is a central tenet of our approach. Whether you're a novice rider taking your first steps, or an experienced equestrian refining your skills, our programs are tailored to meet your unique needs. We believe in building partnerships between horses and humans, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and understanding for a harmonious riding experience.

Holistic Approach

Our commitment to a holistic approach to horsemanship sets us apart as a training program that is dedicated to the overall wellbeing and welfare of both horse and rider. Equine behavior training, both on the ground and in the saddle, forms an integral part of our curriculum. By developing an understanding of horse psychology, riders gain unique insights for better understanding and addressing behavioral patterns in horses. We approach horsemanship ethically and enjoyably, fostering an atmosphere that promotes content, relaxed, and well-behaved horses.

Creating a positive atmosphere for equine wellbeing is a priority of our horsemanship approach. We believe that a happy and comfortable horse is a trainable horse, and our programs focus on achieving a balance that benefits both the physical and mental aspects of equine health. Strengthening the bond between owners and horses is a natural outcome of our holistic approach, fostering a connection built on trust and understanding.

This commitment to ongoing education enhances the quality of our programs, providing riders with the most up-to-date and effective training methods in use today.
