NG- Horsemanship

Nicole Gerhard-Horsemanship offers horse training, riding instruction and cattle work, guided by the goal of creating harmony between horse and rider. Trainer C Nicole Gerhard provides individual, riding-discipline-independent training, including young horse development, foundational and advanced education, correction work, and support for horses displaying challenging behaviours such as rearing, kicking, bucking or bolting. Training is based on patient communication, understanding each horse’s character and needs, and building a relaxed foundation for learning rather than relying on dominance.

Services for horses and riders include groundwork, trail and terrain training, confidence and desensitisation exercises, trail obstacles, muscle development, gymnastic groundwork and riding, as well as coaching in horsemanship, communication and the use of aids. Cattle training offers a varied activity for riders of different disciplines and ages, helping develop timing, confidence and the partnership between horse and rider.

For horses staying on site during training, accommodation includes a spacious stall with a paddock, daily turnout and opportunities for social contact with other horses.
