Horse Starting Course

Discover How to Start or Re-train Any Horse
Safely, Gently and Calmly from Scratch…
With NO Bucking!

Our 'Horse Starting Course' isn't about "Breaking" horses - it's about building genuine partnerships through proven biomechanics.
You'll discover how correct posture and hind-quarter engagement actually reprograms your horse's fight, flight, or freeze response, transforming them from tense and reactive into a calm, willing partner. (Sound confusing? Don't worry, we make it easy to understand)
Steve works directly with you and your horse, guiding you through each step. From reading your horses body language and teaching them to Self-Medicate™, to that incredible moment when your horse chooses to trust you completely.
By the end of the week, you won't "just" have a started horse under saddle - you'll have the knowledge and confidence to continue the training safely on your own. Most importantly, you'll have built a partnership with a horse who genuinely wants to work with you.
When you can earn that level of trust and respect from 500-kilo animal, it changes something fundamental about how you see yourself... Not just with horses, but in every area of your life.
You can do this (We've taught hundreds of people how)

Meet Steve Brinkworth

In 1979 Steve's parents bought a pony named "Charlie". Wow, did that little horse change everything!

Steve and his family got completely hooked on horses. They built "Flinders Rides" - taking groups on epic horse-trekking adventures through South Australia's rugged outback for weeks at a time.

Here's what happened next...

Steve didn't just play tour guide. He became a serious endurance rider. We're talking literally thousands of hours in the saddle. The result? Countless awards, including multiple 'Tom Quilty' buckles (that's like the Olympics of endurance riding) and Steve's favorite: receiving the "High Point, Pure Arabian, Endurance Horse of the Year" award with his Arabian stallion 'Paladdin Sayyid’.

Then Everything Changed...

After 20 years of success, insurance problems killed the horse-trekking business.
Steve moved to Victoria and discovered something interesting...

People Were STRUGGLING With Their Horses...

Everywhere he looked, horse owners were isolated, frustrated, and desperate for help. Problems with every type of horse you could imagine. Steve put up some ads around town offering help. Word spread like wildfire and in 2001 "Horsemanship Essentials" was officially born.

But Here's Where the REAL Magic Happened...

Working in SA with his herd of seasoned trekking horses was one thing.
But helping people with their own horses and horse problems… that was a completely different ball game.

And that's when Steve had his breakthrough moment...
While every second trainer was telling people to ‘bend’ their horse and DIS-engage the hindquarters, Steve discovered something revolutionary:

The exact OPPOSITE is the key to success with horses!

For the past 25 years, Steve has lived and breathed one fundamental truth:
When you understand that a horse's Posture Dictates Their Mental State...

When you understand how a horses Body and Mind Work Together - Everything Changes

This isn't just theory. It’s been proven on thousands of horses in front of live audiences time and again. Steve's unique and proven program creates willing cooperation, WITHOUT forced compliance.
And he can teach you how to do it too.
