Emma Tarrant...
Emma has been around horses for most of her life.
Attending pony club as a child and then going on to ride racehorses from the age of 14 and throughout her teens, showjumping and managing competition yards, but her real interest has always been ‘problem' horses.

Emma had always felt there was something 'missing' from her early training and this was confirmed to her when she moved to Devon in 2005 and met Vanessa Bee who showed her a whole new perspective on handling and training horses, she was hooked from that first meeting and subsequently qualified as a positive horsemanship trainer in 2007.

Since then Emma has ridden and trained with some of the top horsemen & women in the world, including Vanessa Bee, classical riding coach Perry Wood, Dr Gerd Heuschmann, Mark Rashid & Lucy Rees among others. As well as studying the work of masters such as Philippe Karl, Ray Hunt, Bill Dorrance & Buck Brannaman, and not forgetting the greatest teachers of them all - the horses.

Emma has spent time abroad and in the UK observing and training wild horses and believes that studying the behaviour and interactions of horses in their natural environment allows a much clearer insight into the true nature of the horse and therefore our domestic equines.

Emma is a founding member of The Good Horsemanship Society and an instructor with the Equine Language School  which aims to educate by studying the behaviour of wild horses. Emma has also been working alongside Vanessa Bee founding the sport Horse Agility which has been very successful and is proving to be hugely popular not only in the UK but worldwide. She is also a Horse Agility Accredited Trainer and Judge (HAAT).

Based in Mid Devon and working across the UK Emma helps a wide variety of horses and their humans from first time owners to world class competition riders. Loading, ridden and ground handling issues and wild horse handling are several of the areas in which she specialises.
She uses a quiet, positive approach, instilling confidence in both the horse and handler, creating a balanced partnership based on understanding and trust.
