Every ride starts with good intentions… but one unexpected sound, movement or shadow and your horse bolts or spooks.
You’ve tried every ‘desensitization’ trick, endless lunging, hand-walking… but the tension and reactivity keep coming back stronger.
You avoid trails, shows, or new arenas because you never know when the next spook will happen. You’re stuck lunging in the arena.
As the bad experiences pile up… you question your abilities and wonder if this horse is even right for you.

Traditional training is built on outdated ideas that ignore the mental and emotional side of training. You’re expected to push through fear and rely on desensitization.
But desensitization doesn't teach your horse HOW to stay calm under pressure. It only teaches them to tolerate it temporarily. That's why the spooking, bolting, and tension keep coming back.
Exposure only leads to a horse that’s holding it together… until they can’t anymore. Your horse hasn’t learned the mental skills to regulate their own nervous system when things get challenging.
The real solution? You want to teach your horse to process pressure, release tension, and stay mentally balanced – no matter what’s happening. And that’s exactly what the TRT Method does.
How TRT Method works
Groundwork & Body Awareness
Everything starts on the ground. To break the cycle of tension, you will teach your horse specific physical cues, like lowering the head and relaxing the jaw. Teaching the horse to adopt a relaxed posture physically will directly trigger a parasympathetic response, calming their mind psychologically.
Self-Management
Once your horse knows how to relax, we slowly introduce movement, sound, and touch. When the horse’s tension increases, you guide them back to the relaxation exercises. They learn: “When I get scared in this human world, I know exactly what to do with my body to feel confident again.”
Handling, Riding, Trails & Competition
Now we translate everything to the real world. Because you established this language on the ground, your horse will understand the exact same signals in any situation, whether you are loading into a trailer, hacking in the woods, or entering an Olympic stadium.

Because I'm in a wheelchair, I find it very important to feel safe when I'm around my horse.

“The TRT Method gives me the tools to prepare my horses mentally for the biggest stages in the world. It’s essential for safety and performance.”
“What I love about the TRT Method is that it gives horses the tools to manage their own tension, allowing their true expression to shine through with total confidence.”
“In top sport, the mental state of the horse is just as important as the physical training. The TRT Method is my go-to system for developing a focused, happy athlete that can truly relax under challenging circumstances.”
“Working with young horses and stallions requires a clear system. The TRT Method provides an incredible framework that takes the guesswork out of training, building a partnership based on true confidence rather than force.”
Meet your Mentor
Over the past 30 years, Tristan has worked with just about every type of horse and rider you can imagine. He realized that with every horse he helped, he was following a certain set of steps. Steps that others could use, too.
This realization grew into the TRT Method. It’s a way to bring this proven system to every rider, anywhere in the world, no matter their experience level.
Ultimately, it gives your horse the tools to manage tension and stress on their own, so they don’t have to rely on instinct or fear to navigate challenging situations.
"My goal isn't to train your horse. My goal is to give you the tools to become the mentor your horse needs."
"My ex-trotter was so stressed and reactive that trying to ride her was genuinely dangerous; she would panic and bolt. TRT helped us rebuild our connection from the ground up, especially through liberty work. She finally learned to relax without pressure, and now we can safely gallop together."

"Trailer loading used to terrify Thor. Since we started using the TRT method, the transformation has been amazing. He now happily stands in the open float, totally relaxed and stress-free. It just goes to prove that this method really works."

"My green horse Flash was incredibly reactive, and his tension made every ride an anxious experience. By using the TRT groundwork patterns, I learned how to help him redirect his tension and calm down quickly. In just a few short months, our confidence has skyrocketed, and we can finally enjoy riding together."

"I felt like I was failing my young horse. He would freeze up, and every ride became a battle that destroyed our confidence. Thanks to the TRT method, the tension release exercises helped him focus on his body. Now he has the tools to help himself, and we are finally connected."

"I started the TRT foal handling course right away. Establishing that shared language made everything so easy. Now, my nine-month-old stallion trailers by himself, stands still for the farrier, and walks in the forest with our dog. I never imagined it could be this calm and loving!"

"Lila was in so much tension that she was biting and kicking whenever you tried to touch her. She couldn't even be ridden or lunged. Thanks to the TRT method, we taught her how to release that tension in her body first. Eventually, she started to trust us, and working with her became a real pleasure."

"Many recommended behavioral euthanasia for Da Vinci. He was terrified of everyone and needed sedation for basic care. By logging a ton of TRT hours, we established a clear language. Now, his ability to process new environments has improved tenfold, he no longer needs sedation, and he's thriving in his new career as a hunter jumper."

We tend to believe a horse can’t change and that his behavior is part of his character.
I’m here to tell you that’s not true.
I’ve worked for more than 30 years with a LOT of horses. From wild horses in Australia to the sensitive warmbloods in Europe.Â
I’ve worked with horses from different disciplines, breeds and ages and they all had one thing in common…
They could all learn to feel confident and relaxed.
