Becoming the partner your horse needs you to be

Welcome to Eager Ears

We are dedicated to enhancing the well-being of both Horse & Rider. We do this by offering Coltstarting, Online and Offline Courses and Private Lessons (waitinglist). With our expertise we make sure your horse becomes Eager to cooperate. In other words; we’ll help you win your horse’s Eager Ears!

We achieve results with Horse & Rider in the following 4 ways:

Mentally

Your horse becomes smart and rational

Relational

Your horse becomes cooperative and likes you

Emotional

Your horse becomes calm and happy

Physical

Your horse becomes strong and healthy

In our instruction we make use of principles from Classical Dressage, Natural Horsemanship and Straightness Training. These principles are first applied through groundwork exercises that later on translate into riding techniques. Every horse & rider combination should be proficient in these techniques. The rider learns this by communicating effectively with the horse, understanding and influencing his way of thinking, understanding how the rider’s body works body and what he needs to get a solid connection with the horse.

We spent a lot of resources on the development and constant improvement of our services. We’re proud of the results we achieve and thankful for the cooperation with hundreds of riders and horses who’ve made this posible for many years.

Because of geographical- or financial circumstances not everyone will be able to receive our instruction in person. We understand this completely. Also in a situation like that we like to provide plenty of material so you can get started with your horse. Subscribe to our Online Courses (available soon). And subscribe to our educational and articles and media that can be found on our Free Blog & Newsletter.

“I now see my horse in a totally different way and I’ve experienced how progress can be set in motion. Trailer loading, bitless riding or even groundwork is a lot of fun to do. You continue to learn more from your horse and yourself in the way Elvira taught me. An extraordinary experience, I’m never going back to anything else. ”

Cheryl & Riva

“It’s rare in life to find someone that has so much feel, talent and skill and that remains completely true to their principles. Elvira wins the heart of every horse and has an ability to share that gift and lift others so that they too can have wonderful relationships with their horses.”

Rina & Shaba

“What a relief to experience such a way of training my horse. Calmness, friendliness, no pushing or pulling anymore, just wonderful Elvira! You have to put in some effort at first but you get such a high return on investment, to start with…..a horse that you never want to give up.”

Fred & Phoenix

“All my previous experience seemd to be pretty much useless and ineffective when it comes to training. Sometimes taking a step back but then a leap forward. Elvira adjusts easily to the needs of the rider. Lots of repetition and question are no problems. Clear explanation to rider and animal.”
