Does your Gate look like someone keeps hitting pause?
Or more like a demolition derby?

Fix it with the
Master The Gate Challenge!

  • Horse drifting away?
  • Won't stand still?
  • Bumping the gate?
  • Not waiting for you?

Available Immediatly

Yes, Sign Me Up!

The Gate shouldn't be so challenging.
So why is it?

Your horse only needs to:

  • Travel a straight line with a down transition.
  • Move laterally into position and halt. 
  • Remain immobile while you (discover how flexible you are) open the Gate.
  • Move each body part with precision and flow.
  • And remain immobile again while you (try not to fall off) close the Gate. 
  • Then be ready to leave at whatever gait  you ask.

  • Oh, and do it backwards too!

Piece of cake right?

And surely you won't need those skills for any other obstacle.

I didn't even know I needed to figure out some things with the side pass! 

 Very good instruction and both my horses and mostly me figured out things to eventually do a much better side-pass.  Thank you, Trish!

Brenda Yirsa
(Former Challenge student)

As a horse trainer (that's a coach who's teaching someone that speaks a different language),

I discovered that (horse or human) the fastest way to learn a new skill is to break it into the smallest simplified tasks.

And I don't have to tell you, that helps both you and your horse stop getting overwhelmed.

You'll avoid pushing your horse through multiple steps, to do the whole Gate, and having the quality suffer.

When you finally combine the parts, you develop a flowing, efficient Gate, with a willing horse. 

HOW IT WORKS

  1. A proven start-to-finish process.
    I’ve done the trial and error for you with hundreds of horses and riders.
  2. Action steps that involve actual riding.
    Not just watching videos and making plans.
  • Whether you are New to Working Equitation
  •  New to the Gate, or your horse is
  • Find it difficult to do the Gate, or lack confidence
  • Struggle to get a better score and can't quite tell why

The Master the Gate Challenge is your solution.

WHAT YOU GET

Suitable for both beginners, coaches and those inbetween

Loads of really helpful advice here to help avoid problems, but also to deal with common problems if/when they arise.

This is not just helpful for Working Equitation, but I would recommend this course for anybody who would like to be able to open gates from their horse without dismounting.

 The advice was spot on for correcting some problems and Trish can read a photo very well to diagnose what is going on! 

So no need for video only!"

Are You Frustrated Because...

Your horse swings their hindquarters away.

Backs up, won't stop, or rushes and knock things over.

And they won't relax and stand still.

Or maybe your horse won’t even get near the gate.

Or Maybe You Want To Do It Better

You can get it done, but there's hesitation and no flow.

Or forward is easy but reverse is awkward.

Or you can do the gate just fine, but your score is lower than you'd like.

Maybe You're Frustrated...

Because your horse doesn't wait for you to direct them.

They get out of position.

Swing their hindquarters away.

Back up and won't stop.

They rush and knock things over.

They’re scared of the rope or gate.

And they won't stand still.

Or maybe none of those happen because your horse won’t even get near the gate.

Maybe Your Horse Is Frustrated!

Maybe you can get the Gate open, but closing it's a nightmare.

For both of you.

You have to do the Gate once and sometimes twice on each course.

You need them to do it equally well whether it’s a forward gate or a reverse gate.

You worry and pray it’s not going to be a reverse gate.

And your horse thinks you’ve gone bonkers when you ask them to go through it backwards...
"That’s Not how it’s done!"

It doesn’t have to be like that. 

Sure, you can keep doing what you’ve been doing.
And you can hope your horse figures it out.
But unless you're seeing progress each ride, you know that's not working.

Imagine the hours of time you can save and frustration you can avoid by...

Knowing exactly what you need to work on to help your horse figure it out and improve.

Avoiding mistakes that cause you to waste even more time retraining.

Having the answers at your fingertips so you can correct problems before they become habits.

That's exactly what you'll get with ‘Master the Gate Obstacle’

Banish the Gate Gremlins that affect your horse's performance once and for all.

You get...

Immediate access to lessons showing  you what you need to do to help your horse.

Saving both time and frustration.

Videos and exercises that help prepare your horse to listen to you at the gate.

Improving the quality of your performance.

Potential problems and their solutions explained and demonstrated.

The tools you need, when you need them.

"The gate is the one area that challenges my horse and I the most. Still a lot of anxiety especially with solid gates. I think I must be missing something in my training that keeps us stuck.

I signed up because you have a way of slowing things down, breaking them into doable steps.

You also provide a lot of valuable feedback and suggestions.
And the community connection and input is inspiring.

I especially like the “ what may happen” section. It let’s me know that I am not the only one to get incorrect responses.

And having a plan ahead to deal with what could potentially occur puts me in the position to work smarter not harder."

I wanted to sign up for the gate mini course because I often find this obstacle to be the most challenging in the EoH competitions.

 My horses are both large (over 17H+) and tend to be a bit hot, which adds an extra challenge for me at this obstacle.  

Your courses are a great learning tool and help break down the process and provide invaluable tips!

Hi, I'm Trish Hyatt 

I didn't start out to be a coach. All my life I was a horse trainer and problem solver. I was the one that other trainers, coaches, farriers and vets recommended when their owners were stuck, so I worked with horses from a lot of disciplines. 

Many of the horses I was called to help belonged to people that were in the top of their discipline but when you are an expert in something, sometimes it's hard to think outside the box. 

I became a coach as I realized how important it was to not create problems in the first place and I needed to share what I know.

I've always used obstacles in training because they are a great test of where the horse is at or the horse and rider partnership.

The last few years I have specialized in Working Equitation obstacles because of the precision that is required in the riding and judging. They are scored as a dressage test is, with a standard set of obstacles used world-wide and the same requirements for quality performance.

To my lifetime of training horses and working with coaches from different disciplines, I added to my skills becoming an International Coach and Clinician, National and International Top 10 Competitor and a  (retired) Technical Delegate and Judge of Working Equitation.

It is this combination of skills and diversity that makes me a coach that can speak to you, where you are at now, help you find better ways to reach your students, help you help them progress and build a stronger business.

I look forward to the opportunity to assist you through this course and workshop.

Trish Hyatt
