Hey Working Equitation Enthusiast!

Are you feeling stuck in your Working Equitation journey?

Do you struggle with

Where to start? What to do next? What's Missing?

No matter where you're starting from,
Let's get You to the next level!

Are you clear on HOW to...

Get started with Working Equitation?
Improve from where you are now?
NOT get disqualified if you compete (there are many ways)?

Would you love to feel confident that your training is doing right by your horse, and not be embarrassed by what he, or you, can't seem to figure out.

Are you keen to learn how to ride the obstacles correctly?

You might even want to attend shows, but you're not a trainer, and while the rule book might tell you WHAT is required, it doesn't tell you HOW.

Are the time and costs involved to get to clinics too much?
Do you wish you had resources to review afterwards?

Clinics are fun, but when you get home you barely remember 10% of what you were told and you're not positive you remember that part correctly.

If you'd like to...

Understand WHAT to do, and more importantly, HOW to do it .
Feel confident you're being clear so your horse CAN do what you ask.
Have a cost-effective way to continue learning, with 24/7 access.

That’s what the Working Equitation Mastery
(for the rest of us) Program can do for you.

You'll Get...

Step by step instruction on all 18 Working Equitation obstacles used world wide

You'll know What you need, What you should do, How to make it easier, What can go wrong and How to fix it so that all your practice is correct and confusion is reduced.
You'll no longer have to hope you're doing it right. The step by step lessons will ensure all your practice is on target to build accuracy into your rides, to improve your horses skills across disciplines, and to be competitive in WE if you desire.

Basic skills used both in Dressage and Ease of Handling in 'WE Dressage'

You'll be able to ride your horse more precisely so they go where and how you told them to, reducing embarrassment, raising scores and keeping you safe.
Correct movement isn't just about winning. Your horse will thank you as they remain healthy and happy longer.

Detailed lessons that are often not explained well, or at all, in 'Beyond the Basics'

Like the difference between Flexion and Bend. Why you need flexion to have bend, and how to teach it.
Or how to understand and apply half-halts, at the right time depending on what you are trying to accomplish which means more clarity for you so that you can help your horse to do their job better.

What makes this program different and unique is that it specifically focuses on Working Equitation, and using the obstacles to help you train your horse better.

It does not assume you or your horse already have a certain level of knowledge so it's suitable no matter what discipline you are coming from.

It is suitable for all levels, with step by step directions to make sure nothing is missed that will affect your progress later.

Relevant anywhere in the world as it is based on the 18 obstacles used by the World Association for Working Equitation.

I understand your challenges and can help you understand the best solutions for your horse.

By participating in this program:

You'll understand how to perform the obstacles with precision which is a fun challenge with your horse, that helps improve their training, making them safer and easier to ride.
You'll be better able to prepare your horse for a WE competition or clinic and feel confident they are ready.
You'll have the skills you need to participate with your friends, and not worry about embarrassing yourself or your horse.
If you're already competing you'll be able to move past what's holding you back to increase your scores, and get to the next level.

"You are so responsive! I can’t believe how you are up all hours of the day and night! I must take this opportunity to tell you how amazing your course is!

I have purchased way too many Online equine programs. I’ve found a handful of very talented trainers/communicators. But NO ONE, has put together such a comprehensive and instructional program. Your effort to get through to the rider is phenomenal...

...The half-halt lesson is worth the price of admission all on its own! This was a huge lesson (for me) because few can truly explain half-halts' execution with any clarity at all. Including it with all the other valuable information in an all-inclusive Working Equitation program is truly a gift to us students.
Thank you, thank you for putting this wonderful course together."

Got Questions? I've got Answers!

Is This Really Worth It?

I hear what you're saying. It's been a tough year and if there is no money for courses, lessons or clinics, then you have to do what you can with the free information available and your own dedication.

If however, there is money for a clinic, then a benefit to investing that in an online program is that the information stays available to you. Most clinic attendees only remember 10% of what they heard at a clinic and if they aren't sure about something, end up practicing wrong because they can't look it up, or ask for clarification.

By learning online you don't have travel expenses and time.
When you go to a show you won't feel like you wasted your entry fee because you have a better chance of not getting disqualified.

And when you do go to clinics you'll get more out of them, both because you have already completed many of the steps, and because you will have reference materials to access when you get home to help you remember what was being taught in the clinic, or what the next step is.

To help make it easier for you I've added a payment plan.

How Much Time Will This Take?

The different obstacles and skills are available each in their own lesson so you can just go to the ones you need, when you need them.

It will save you time in the long-run because you are practicing correctly, and not skipping steps that you have to go back and fix later.

It will actually save you time, money and frustration when you need to solve that one problem.

You can refer to the appropriate lesson in the program. Then pop into the community if you still need help. And you can do this every time a new challenge shows up for you and your horse.

Because you have lifetime access, it will be there for you when you do have time so it's okay if you're busy now.

Will It Be Confusing If I Already Have A Coach?

Many of the riders in my program also have coaches, and ride in clinics too. But just as each horse and rider are different, so is each coach and both their skills and their focus.

As a trainer who became a coach of riders with horse challenges, from many disciplines and levels, I have a unique perspective that allows me to explain things in a way that horses and riders can understand and apply.

There is not one single right way that works for all horses. I'm happy to discuss why something you've been told may not be working. It might just need a slight adjustment.

This will allow you to make even more progress with your current coach as you get past any roadblocks or confusion that may be keeping you stuck.

Do I Have Enough Experience?

As long as you are safe on your horse.
You can go, stop and turn, we can work on the rest.

The program is designed with the beginner in mind to get you off on the right foot.

And that's why it's also the right program for the more experienced rider.
When a rider is having a problem with a horse it's often because they are missing a step or there is a problem with balance, both of which we'll address in the course.

Are You Sure I Need This?

Just the fact that you're reading this page tells me you're interested in learning more with your horse and this course focuses on what you need for Working Equitation.
You get lifetime access to the lessons so if you are too busy right now, that's okay, because it will be there for you when you do have time.

Working Equitation is a fun way to learn the skills needed in all disciplines and the course is set up so you can work through it in order, or pick and choose what you need.
When a person needs to learn a skill, it makes it much easier for them to find the time to do it.

Even if you just get one tip from one lesson on an area that's been a problem for you, and whether that helps you get to the next level, not DQ, or makes your horse safer, that's worth the price.

What If It Doesn't Work For Me?

That's why I have a guarantee. Try the program for two weeks. If you don't find anything there that's useful to you. I'll refund your money.

"The Working Equitation training available from Trish Hyatt is wonderful!

The detailed information is divided into lessons that are easy to understand, with diagrams, instructions and demos included ridden by fellow WE enthusiasts.

Are you ready to spend less time wondering what to do, and more time doing it?

In a weekend clinic I could only teach you a fraction of what's included here.
I can't begin to imagine how many weekend clinics it would take to cover everything included.
BUT, in a group setting, we can spread out these costs so the Working Equitation Mastery From Intro To Show program is AMAZINGLY affordable.

The complete program is just $297 for Lifetime, Unlimited and Instant Access to all the lessons.

Don't let the price fool you. These are not short little tidbits that leave you wondering what to do.
Each lesson is detailed, easy to understand, and multi-part for horses and riders of all levels.
Start at the beginning, make sure your horse can do each step, and build on your progress.
There are no deadlines.

The videos (both the ones in the lessons AND the videos participants post of themselves) helped immensely! I definitely recommend this class!"

More Student Comments

Lisa Camp - Flexion or Bend lesson
I really like the picture/diagram of the horse from above, it's very helpful and I like the info about the hip and using colored tape so you can see it.

Shelly Donaldson - Bonus Single Slalom exercises
There is A LOT of information in this lesson. I especially like how the lesson is broken down into segments for learning and exercising so that the horse becomes more fit and the rider gains a better understanding of all the pieces that help with manuevering through the slalom. Clearly more than 5 days of practice will help achieve bending and flexing the horse at a tempo that works best for them. I have ridden these exercises and find them very useful to my mare and I as they set us up for success once we've established the basic foundation.

Alla Cline - Turn on the Haunches and Turn on the Forehand lesson
This lesson was well described and knowing the movement, I was able to “feel” your words as I read them.

Lisa Camp - Figure 8
I never thought to break these obstacles down so precisely. I have read this lesson at least 4 times and will come back to it. The material is easy to understand, but there is so much to remember!
I hope to take it out onto the course while riding it to help me work the obstacle.

Jane O'Boyle - Bank and Water
This section had very good training information for me based on my knowledge and experience and will be helpful.
Again, you gave me additional advice on managing problems:)

Daphne Carter - Forward and Back from the seat
Excellent dramatizations. Learning subtle things. Very productive.

Alla Cline - Single Slalom
Very thorough distinction on flexion vs. bend. What I appreciated more was the description on how to “build” in better bend using the ovals exercise. An excellent, thorough lesson. And thank you for pointing out that poll flexion is minimal - 1 inch.

Jane O'Boyle - Jumping for the human lesson
The hardest part about equestrian learning is forgetting what tools you have in your tool box. This was a great reminder for self checks and I need to incorporate this every ride.

Lois Shaw - Go and Stop with Bend
Great explanations and easy to understand. Well written!

Jane O'Boyle - Softening, yielding, giving to the bit lesson
If the horses head goes too low or behind the vertical use TOH to bring it back up. This is what i needed.

Daphne Carter - Single Slalom
After reviewing the video's and comments a few more times I am getting more aware of the preciseness for the obstacle. Have started working Rose more frequently on this obstacle.

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 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, and help you find better ways to work with your horse.
