What would you like you and your horse to do?

Ellen Ofstad is from Fredrikstad, Norway. She has worked as a full time trainer and instructor since 1984 throughout Scandinavia, the Middle East and the United States. Ellen has, during this time, studied horses and their psychology, and many training methods. She speaks English very well and is easy to understand.

Working with Clicker Training, Ellen was asked by the Stockholm Zoo to work with their Keepers and the animals they care for.

Ellen holds individual lessons where the owners themselves work with Ellen and their own horse. So anything is possible. Want to learn to ride without tack?

Since there is only room for 6 horses per day, it is important to register early.

Ellen will work with you and your horse to create a better relationship and understanding between you. She will work on exercises from the ground and in the saddle.

There will be horses to work with, if you are not able to bring a horse. 

There is a lot to learn from watching others and listening to Ellen if you aren't able to work personally with her.
