When we were invited to visit horse trainer Mel Beckmann, in the beautiful Gloucestershire countryside, we couldn’t wait to learn all about her fascinating methods. A brilliant hybrid between dressage and natural horsemanship training, Mel taught us how they think and how we can work with our horses’ natural instincts to get the very best out of our equine friends. The lovely Morris was the perfect model for the photoshoot, and you can read all about the things we learned in the first part of our series on p56 – prepare for some amazing results if you decide to give her methods a go!
