Learn horse training science in plain English.

Short, weekly videos—all free—explaining the science behind why we do what we do with horses, in simple English. Your riding lessons will make so much more sense!

Theory, or understanding the ‘why’ behind what we do with horses, is essential to becoming a good rider. However, theory doesn’t fit very well in the conventional riding lesson format. To fix that, I have developed the weekly Video Theory Lesson, designed to teach you what is going on behind the scenes inside your horse. Now when you go to your weekly riding lesson, what you are taught will make more sense!

Subscribe to the YouTube channel so you don’t miss any of your lessons!

Below is a sample of some of the first video lessons. There are many more on YouTube!

Have you ever said to your riding coach…

  • I wish I could have you in my pocket!
  • I can’t remember what you told me to practice.
  • I don’t know what to do with my horse when you aren’t there!
  • Why does that work?
  • I’m trying to apply equitation science, but no one teaches it near me—I feel lonely.

At Clairety Horsemanship, Claire uses the clear language of equitation science and learning theory to record short theory presentations, explaining the ‘why’ behind what you learn in lessons, and giving you your own science-based coach in your pocket.

Understanding the why and how behind horse riding makes it possible to achieve great results from your practice rides and your lessons.
