Five unforgettable days of exclusive coaching, adventure and inspiration.

Imagine spending five days immersed in Emma's world.

Not as part of a large clinic, but through a completely personalised experience where the week is built around you, your goals and your horse.

Our Private Training Weeks are an exclusive opportunity to spend quality time with Emma, learning alongside her horses, ponies and other animals while experiencing the unique lifestyle that has inspired her training philosophy. Whether you are looking to improve your relationship with your own horse, develop your liberty skills, solve specific training challenges, or simply gain inspiration from living and working alongside Emma, these weeks offer an experience unlike any other.

Bring Your Horse... or Come Without One

You are welcome to bring your own horse or pony and enjoy five days of tailored training together.

If travelling with a horse isn't practical, you can still join us and enjoy Emma's experienced liberty horses and ponies throughout the week. Many people discover that observing different horses often provides fresh perspectives that they later take home to their own horses.

The week is designed around your experience, regardless of whether your own horse accompanies you.

Come Alone... or Share the Experience

Private doesn't have to mean by yourself.

You can book as an individual for one-to-one coaching with Emma, or come with a friend, partner or family member who shares your passion for horses and adventure. Training can be adapted so that each person gains maximum benefit whilst still enjoying the experience together.

Whether there is one of you or two, the atmosphere is relaxed, personal and completely focused on making the most of your time here.

Learn Beyond Techniques

Emma has always believed that extraordinary partnerships aren't created by simply learning another technique.

They are created by understanding horses, embracing adventure, exploring different environments and experiencing life together.

Throughout your week you'll gain a genuine insight into how Emma develops her horses from youngsters through to her world-famous liberty teams. Depending on your own goals, your training may include:

Liberty foundations and advanced liberty work
Building trust, confidence and communication
Groundwork and problem solving
Positive reinforcement and motivation
Trick training and creative behaviours
Developing confidence in new environments
Reading horse behaviour and herd dynamics
How to manage multiple horses
Bridleless and relationship-based exercises (where appropriate)

There are no fixed lesson plans. Every day develops naturally around your progress, your interests and your horse.

Experience Emma's World

The training doesn't stop when the lesson ends.

One of the greatest benefits of a Private Training Week is simply spending time together. Between sessions there are countless opportunities for conversation, questions and learning while helping with the animals, walking through the herds or enjoying meals together.

You'll experience the beautiful North Cornwall coastline, wild moorland, woodland trails and beaches that have become the backdrop to Emma's adventures and training over the last twenty-five years.

Weather permitting, we may also include some optional adventure activities, such as kayaking, paddleboarding, coasteering, wild swimming or other outdoor experiences that reflect Emma's philosophy of stepping outside your comfort zone. These activities are always optional, but they often become some of the week's most memorable moments.

Stay in Beautiful Surroundings

Your accommodation is just moments from Emma's home, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience while enjoying comfortable accommodation in one of Cornwall's most spectacular coastal locations.

If you're bringing your horse, suitable paddocks and facilities are available nearby, allowing you to spend as much time as you wish with your horse throughout the week.

Who Is This Week For?

This experience is ideal for:

Riders wanting dedicated one-to-one coaching.
Horse owners facing specific training challenges.
Liberty enthusiasts wanting to develop their skills.
Anyone seeking inspiration and a fresh way of thinking about horses.
People travelling from overseas who want an unforgettable equestrian holiday.
Friends wishing to share a truly unique horse adventure together.

Whether you're just beginning your liberty journey or have years of experience, every week is individually tailored to meet you where you are.

A Truly Exclusive Experience

Unlike a traditional clinic, these Private Training Weeks are offered on only a very limited number of dates each year.

The focus is entirely on giving you time, space and individual attention, allowing you to ask questions, explore ideas and enjoy a relaxed learning experience that simply isn't possible within larger groups.

By the end of the week you'll leave with far more than new skills.

You'll leave with renewed confidence, lasting memories, new friendships, and a completely different way of seeing your relationship with horses.
