Horsemanship Resources
Here you will find links to information and articles from a number of different voices. The Non Ridden Equine Association UK is a platform for diversity and sharing. It is a collective of people be they novices to professionals. Links are always checked once added, however articles can get removed and websites close, so if the links to a resource do not work please let us know.
If you have read an article or seen something that should be included in the resources please Get in Touch we would love to hear from you. The more of us who can contribute to the resource bank the richer it will be. We are always delighted to add more resources to the library.
The founders of the Non Ridden Equine Association UK are passionate about training that uses Positive Reinforcement. Horsemanship comes in many shapes and forms and not all approaches use positive reinforcement. Therefore we recognize there is much debate on ethics in horsemanship. Here is not the platform for this debate. We simply provide resources for you to enjoy.
We encourage everyone to become students of the horse as learning is lifelong. With this in mind we have other sections in our Library that compliment this horsemanship section. Please check out these sections as well.
We are passionate about supporting horsemanship practitioners who support people without riding on the agenda. Click here to see our list of Non Ridden Equine Friendly Horsemanship Practitioners.
