Bitless Art of Riding

with Bart

About me


If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
Horses have always been a part of my family and I have therefore been around horses most of my life. When I was 18 I got inspired by YouTubers riding horses bridleless and carefree through nature. That led me down the path of Natural Horsemanship with a horse of my dad that was until then not ridden. In 2013 I met Jossy Reynvoet on Equiday. Straight away I felt the urge to learn more about him and his structure. In 2016, After finishing my studies, Tosca and I left our home for Belgium to become a working student at his ranch. We've spent 12 months here. He has helped me heal the physical damage that years of bridleless riding had done to my horse that has a very difficult body by nature, and introduced me to the Academic Art of Riding. I have had an amazing time here and have learned a great deal. I still take lessons from a variety of trainers, including Jossy, but I'm currently also educating myself on Positive Reinforcement and taking lessons in that domain.

Services


Things that we can work on during your lessons are:
  • Basic work, basic communication
  • Gymnastic work (AAOR)
  • Collection (AAOR)
  • Bridleless riding
  • Trailer loading*
  • Trail riding / riding out in the forest in a relaxed manner
  • Hoof trimming
*I do not like one-time fixes because I know that I'd need to be more strict than I want to be. I want to have at least one session with the horse to teach it some of the basic communication before going for a desentization exercise such as trailer loading.
