Focus and harmony
At Megalong Icelandic Horses, our training is built on two key values: focus and harmony.
We aim for every horse to be fully present in the session, focused on the handler and the task at hand, rather than distracted by what is happening around them. To support this, we keep training sessions short, clear, and engaging. Horses quickly learn to switch into “work mode” and develop a positive attitude towards training.
Harmony is just as important. We believe in being fair and consistent in what we ask of the horse. When something goes well, we reward that effort by finishing on a good note rather than pushing for “just one more”. True progress, to us, is a horse that remains soft in the body, confident in the mind, and willing to respond to the rider’s aids without tension.
Starting young horses and schooling green horses
Starting a young horse or developing a green horse is a rewarding journey, especially when it is approached with the right knowledge, patience, and timing. We are here to support you and your horse from whatever stage you are currently at.

Establishing correct basic riding aids
Introducing gait training when the horse is ready
