Tristan has learnt from the best trainers from dressage experts to Australian horsemanship gurus and circus trainers. He has realized that it’s of great importance to really understand a horse and have a good understanding of horsemanship. Tristan has proven with his TRT method that every (dressage) horse can be confident and relaxed but that it just takes the right training. It’s his mission to show horse owners that they don’t have to take certain behaviour for granted and that it can be changed. Due to the overwhelming demand for training and clinics worldwide about the TRT method, Tristan has launched the online program with co-founder Conny Loonstra. This way, ambitious riders all over the world can now work with the TRT method.

Motivate your horse!

A horse that is very laid-back and maybe extremely lazy, often struggles to get himself motivated. How do you get those horses to be in control of themselves, how do they learn to give themselves a feeling of having energy, of being athletic, of being something that is feeling good? That’s where my Groundwork Wednesday comes in!

Leading any horse safely

Leading your horse safely is vital when you have a hot horse or work with a lot of different horses. So I set out and recorded a video to show people how what I do to lead my horses anywhere safely and how to respond when your horse has a lot of energy and wants to run over you.
