Sandi Simons Training

If you’ve ever been to one of my clinics, you’ve probably heard me talk about the head down cue.

It’s honestly one of my favourite things to teach… and I think it’s one of the most underrated cues you can have.

Why? Because once your horse really understands it, you have relaxation on cue.

It makes bridling easier. Clipping easier. Even just handling your horse around the head becomes easy.

It helps if your horse steps on a lead rope or needs to stand tied up. Instead of panicking and pulling back or throwing their head around, they learn lowering their head is the answer.

And if you're a dressage rider? That all important double-points long-rein walk across the diagonal, becomes a whole lot better.

You start teaching the head down cue on the ground. Lift the rein lightly and the moment your horse lowers its head, release.

The release is the reward and the teacher.

When you get in the saddle, you do exactly the same thing. Same cue, timing and answer.

Don’t change your story!

I promise, once you've taught this well, you'll find yourself using it everywhere. It's one of those tools that changes everything!

🩷 REGAINING CONFIDENCE CLINIC 🩷
🩷 With Sandi Simons 🩷

Have you ever found yourself feeling nervous around your horse, lacking confidence in the saddle, or wondering why things that once felt easy now seem overwhelming?

You're not alone.

Sandi Simons understands this journey because she's lived it herself. After taking time away from horses while raising her family, Sandi returned to riding only to discover that her confidence wasn't where it once was.

Rather than accepting that as her new normal, she developed the Creating Confidence program that has since helped thousands of women reconnect with their horses and rediscover the joy of riding.

This 3-day clinic is designed for riders who:
✨ Have lost confidence
✨ Are returning to horses after a break
✨ Feel nervous or anxious when riding
✨ Want to build a stronger partnership with their horse
✨ Are looking for a safe, supportive and judgement-free learning environment

Over the 3 days, Sandi will guide you through practical groundwork and ridden exercises designed to improve communication, understanding and trust between horse and rider. Her training focuses on creating calm, willing and responsive horses while helping riders feel safe, capable and confident again.

No matter your age, discipline or experience level, this clinic is about meeting you where you are and giving you the tools to move forward with confidence.

Most importantly, you'll be surrounded by like-minded people in a supportive, encouraging and judgement-free environment where everyone is working towards the same goal—becoming more confident and enjoying their horses again.
