Training & Clinics
Here at Ranch Iyuptala we offer a wide range of training and courses for all levels of rider (and non-rider) and all breeds of horse.
Our team of experts:
Lorraine Stanley: Founder/Owner of Ranch Iyuptala/L.S.Paso Finos (She's the boss you know!)
Breeder and Trainer of Paso Fino horses but also trains other breeds. Lorraine has been working with horses for 12 years. During this time she has worked with horses with different training and behavioural problems.
The last 6 years has been dedicated primarily to the Paso Fino breed and she has spent time training in Germany and the U.S.A. with some top trainers/breeders. “Most of the training I do is ground work based. You will never be able to build anything solid without good foundations. We use ‘Horse Sense’ in training and not only train the horses but teach people how to continue at home.”
Sharon Wallerson: Cognitive Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner (yard therapist – we all need help sometimes!)
Sharon uses her cognitive hypnotherapy and NLP skills to help people deal with nerves, fight their fears and challenge any past negative experiences. She has amazing results even with the most sceptical patients. Also new to Paso Finos, we combine her skills with a lot of the groundwork based training to change the lives of both horses and their humans!
Sharon believes a confident rider creates a confident horse.
Dena Schwartz: www.AnimalAromatherapy.co.uk (without her we’d all fall apart – literally!)
Dena has been treating horses (and people) at Ranch Iyuptala for a number of years. When dealing with remedial training we like to eliminate any physical or emotional problems the horses (or even the riders) may be experiencing – this is where Dena comes in.
Dena began with traditional BHS training, going on to instruct novice to intermediate riders; both able-bodied and disabled. With a passion for all things natural, Dena has added qualifications in plant medicine and massage for both horse and rider, to provide a truly holistic approach to health, well-being and equestrian harmony.
What we offer:
Backing and Bringing On – for youngsters of all breeds.
Paso Fino Riding Lessons – learn how to ride a Paso Fino, also helpful to improve riders seat position when riding traditional ‘English’ horses.
Riding Lessons - for all breeds of horses. Lessons from dressage to jumping on your own horse.
Remedial Training – any problem considered, an assessment will be done first and training is tailor-made to meet you and your horses needs.
Handle Horses with Confidence – we tailor make a course (usually 5 sessions) teaching people about groundwork: Why do it, How to do it and When to do it. This course is good for anyone wanting to learn about groundwork and handling, but is also good for the more nervous as we will show you how to be confident when handling horses.
Fear Busting Courses (ridden or not) – tailor made courses for people with fears or phobia’s or for those trying to overcome bad experiences. We combine cognitive hypnotherapy and NLP with the groundwork and ridden training. If you have crippling nerves in the show-ring, hacking out or have had a bad experience you just can’t get over then this course is for you.
