Frances Dixon Independent Equine Consultancy

Helping driven and determined Equestrians be the best versions of themselves.

"change your life, not just your riding..."

My way...

I have developed my own style of horsemanship and equestrianism around what I refer to as "The FDIEC 4 Key Aspects of the Overall Equestrian Picture".

These are: Nutrition, Behaviour, Management and Training.

My aim is to provide my clients with a greater mental and physical understanding of their equine friend to ultimately help in facilitating a more harmonious relationship between horse and human.

Training Principles

Ways to work with me

FDIEC provides a huge variety of services and coaching packages to suit any horse and rider combination.

I specialise in Confidence Coaching for the rider using NLP techniques and Groundwork Training for the horse based around behavioural principles in particular.

There really is something for everyone though! Whether you have a specific issue on which you would like some advice or would like to dig deeper into your understanding of Equine Biology or Psychology, each session can be tailored to suit your needs.

Both online or in-person training and coaching is available - here's some examples below...

Groundwork: The Basics

4 x in-person sessions covering the basics of handling from the ground

The foundations of your horse's training begin from the ground. This is where Trust and Respect are built and earned. Groundwork is one of the most important things to teach and understand but so often over-looked! "Groundwork: The Basics" will provide an introduction for both the horse and handler where they can begin to start "speaking the same language" and creating mutual understanding. Focusing on Body Language, Proprioception and Coordination of the horse and handler.

Duchess's Mum

"Not only is Fran very knowledgeable, but she massively promotes self-confidence, which I have been lacking. After only a few sessions, my pony (who is 5 and still learning) has learned some new techniques, I have learned to trust myself a bit more and our bond is stronger than ever."
