Workshops at Black Horse Ranch — two days working with horses

Several times a year, Black Horse Ranch in Pušća near Zaprešić hosts workshops for small groups. Two days of hands-on work: communication with the horse, groundwork, and practical solutions to situations every horse person faces — in the spirit of the K3P method, without force and without rush.

What the workshop gives you

  • 01Two days of intensive work with horses in a small group
  • 02Groundwork: leading, energy and body language
  • 03Hands-on work on real situations — not just theory
  • 04Understanding horse behaviour: why horses do what they do
  • 05Skills you can apply with your own horse at home right away

Workshop themes

Each workshop has a focus theme, and part of the programme is shaped by participants' questions and the horses with us. The most common themes are:

01

Groundwork — the foundation of communication

Leading, changing energy, body language. How the horse reads you before you say a word.

02

Trailer loading without stress

Why horses refuse to load and how to build cooperation step by step — without pulling the rope and without fear.

03

Trust and respect

The first pillars of the K3P method: how the horse becomes a partner that cooperates because it understands and trusts.

04

When the horse is afraid

Working with fear and tension: the vet, the farrier, traffic, new environments.

05

Working with your own horse

Bring your own horse and work on the situation that causes you trouble at home.

06

Preparation for riding

Preparing horse and rider through communication — a safer start in the saddle.

You come with your own horse — horse accommodation is included in the price — and we work on everyday themes and situations.

You ride, but feel something is missing between you and the horse. The workshop shows you how to start talking to your horse.

Boarding stable owners

You work with many different horses every day — learn how to lead, load and calm them more easily through communication.
