Training with Fin

"In my lessons and clinics, you can learn to communicate with your horse through body position, groundwork and response training to build relaxation, suppleness and trust. You will then translate this into the saddle for improved performance for both horse and rider. A sport horse only performs at its best when it is relaxed. Stress triggers tension and their natural flight instinct. I communicate with horses using a question and response technique that encourages horses to relax so they can trust and work with the rider to perform in challenging situations."

Demos & Clinics

Fin produces performances at equestrian events to showcase his training methods. Working in conjunction with fire jugglers, dancers and smoke/pyro-safe projectors, the spectacular shows demonstrate that an independent horse who has been trained to focus on the rider will, quite literally... go through fire for you! Venues include CDI International Zeeland, Equestrian exhibition Niederrhein Kalkar, Expo Houten …and more.

Fin Jopson verweeft het grondwerk in het rijden en het effect is verbluffend. Mijn paarden zijn veel sensibeler geworden op mijn zit. Een zeer ervaren trainer, veel techniek met veel gevoel.

I was impressed by Fin’s knowledge, his total commitment to his art and his determination to develop his own style. I wish Fin every success, he has worked very, very hard and has a passion for dressage that is rarely seen.

Fin Jopson, een paardenman in hart en nieren

Topfithorseevent.com

Fin Jopson, een paardenman in hart en nieren. Hij heeft zich volledig toegelegd op het trainen en werken met paarden. Een goede communicatie is daarbij cruciaal. Hij laat zien dat grondwerk voor iedere discipline toepasbaar is en het vooral draait om respect en vertrouwen in het opleiden van een paard.

Ook hebben we grondwerk-trainingen gedaan met Fin Jopson

Nelleke van Zon

... Ook hebben we grondwerk-trainingen gedaan met Fin Jopson. Fin heeft jarenlang gewerkt bij Tristan Tucker en is nu stalruiter bij Bert Rutten. De combinatie van kennis die hij heeft opgedaan bij deze experts zorgt ervoor dat zijn trainingen perfect aansluiten bij mijn rijden. Je kunt zonder erop te zitten heel doeltreffend je paard verbeteren. Het geeft veel inzichten en het is een fijne afwisseling!

Kim Gubler

Fin looked after me when my horse became stressed. Through calmly talking me through straightforward exercises - that I wouldn't have thought of myself - my horse was able to find himself. We left the arena calmly. Thank you Fin. A very talented trainer/rider.

AC Bongers

Fin is a real horseman, he makes you look at your horse at a different way. He helps you communicate better, understanding your horse will lead to success.
