Sonja Biada trains horses and riders by using trust and respect as a tool to show the horse the right thing is easy, and the wrong thing is difficult; using techniques commonly known as natural horsemanship but referred to by Sonja as training through trust. Sonja is a stickler for good ground manners. With consistency the horse becomes a pleasure to be around and generally respectful and polite. Add to this the concepts of dressage - centered balance for the rider; balanced movement for the horse; the subtle communication and deep connection between the two. All of these things are beneficial for horses and riders of any discipline.
