Want better results

with Reward Based Training?

Have a look inside the Classroom

 

You put your relationship with your horse first, but you also want your reward based training to work and get somewhere with your best friend.

Those two things can go together

And we are here to help you with that

Get unstuck & level up!

The Classroom is the very heart of the Reward Based Riding School. It's our membership program where we teach our approach to reward-based training and support you along the way.

Our on-demand video library guides you step by step through the essential foundations that everything else is built on. Learn at your own pace, without pressure.

And when you need support, we’re right there with you. We won’t let you get stuck; we’re here to help you move forward.

Submit your questions and training videos for personal feedback. Learn by watching others, sharing progress, and growing together inside our supportive community.
 

Plus, join live sessions with guest speakers, lectures, live training sessions and coaching for extra inspiration, fun, and deeper learning. 

 

Build skills. Stay motivated. Keep progressing.

Here is what current members of the Classroom say:

I have some more questions: 

So the classroom is not a course you rush through. Not something you “fall behind” on. It’s an ongoing learning space: for training, thinking, asking questions, and figuring things out together.

But is it for me?

I am new to reward based training, is the Classroom for me?

 

Yes, and this is exactly where we recommend starting here if you want to train with us.

For us all training starts with PAUSE. The Pause course is included in your membership.

Pause is where we build relaxation around food, clear communication, and give the horse their first real choice to opt in or opt out of training. It’s also where we teach the horse when training is on and when it’s not.

This is hands down the most overlooked part of reward-based training, and also where we see most people struggle — especially with:

  • horses getting over-excited around food

  • mugging, tension, or frustration

  • feeling unsure about food delivery and timing

We keep this very down-to-earth and practical. If you’re new, you’ll learn how to use food in a way that helps your horse feel calm, safe, and able to think, not stressed or pushy.

You don’t need experience — just curiosity and a willingness to slow down and build things properly from the start.

I trained reward based for many years, what can I learn from the Classroom?

 

A lot — and not just “more basics.”

While we place strong emphasis on core skills and foundation behaviors, the Classroom (and the coming lectures) covers much more than the basics. We’re continuously building a growing library that spans:

  • behavior, biomechanics aspects of your basics

  • refining criteria and timing

  • gymnastic thinking and movement quality

  • troubleshooting common and uncommon training challenges

In the our coaching sessions, we always meet people where they are — whether you’re shaping your first pause or refining advanced work. Same goes for the videofeedback.

In our live training sessions you can see how we approach a real training session, going into several topics. Our lectures & guest speakers will also address different subjects.

Besides that you'll become part of a likeminded community to help you stay motivated, and keep on track. 

Members also get first access to all new courses and School Terms, plus significant member-only discounts.

Who's teaching this? 

It's us: Angelica and Do 🙂

And every now and then our invited speakers.

We’ve been teaching together for years. With different focus areas—Angelica coming from a background in dressage and Do specializing in husbandry and cooperative care—we complement each other in a way that brings depth and balance to our teaching.

What connects us is a shared philosophy: that emotional balance and relaxation aren’t something you add later—they’re the starting point. Whether we’re working on movement or medical training, we believe good training helps the horse feel better in both body and mind.

Next event in the Classroom:

Classroom Lecture: To Click or not to Click

For members of the Classroom

Some people feel very strongly about this. Clicker = correct. No clicker = sloppy. Or the opposite. Clicker = mechanical. No clicker = “more natural.” But what if that was never the real question?

In the Classroom lecture 23rd of March we’re breaking down how we work with this and the reinforcement loop itself. Because a click ends ONE behavior. But starts another.

We’ll also look at the rider. And whether you use: 🔔 a marker or 🥕 the reward delivery itself …the structure matters.

We’ll look at:
– How to shape in different ways
– How reward delivery functions
– When mechanical precision is useful
– When just feeding might be better
– And how to work cleanly with both systems
