A philosophy of working with horses based on the horses’ natural instincts and methods of communication.   Horses do not learn through fear or pain, but rather from pressure and then the release of that pressure.

The object of Banana Bank horsemanship is for the horse to be calm and feel safe throughout the training process. A horse that feels calm and safe with his handler is quick to bond with that person and the results can be remarkable.

At Banana Bank, we emphasize communication with the horse by establishing “Ground Work” to create boundaries that relate to “Trust” between the two.

 “ TRUST” – PREDICTIBLE, POSITIVE BEHAVIOR PROVEN OVER TIME
