• Each session starts with groundwork, and participants may progress to ridden if they wish.

On Lizzy’s journey she has had access to some of the best mentors on offer both in Australia and around the world. Equine and human.

Having horses in training has led her to identifying a number of deficiencies in traditional training systems.

​

Lizzy now strives to share her passion and knowledge while guiding owners and horses on a wholistic path that seeks to ensure horses are functioning at their optimum mentally and physically.

 

The cornerstones of LREC training are Groundwork, Liberty, Saddle Foundations and Obstacles. Working through these important pieces, Lizzy aims to provide owners with the tools to not only identify and solve problems with their own horses but also develop harmonious, connected and confident partnerships.

​
