"A free horse is a happy horse" - Ben Atkinson
We are thrilled to bring you an action packed educational evening with Ben Atkinson of Atkinson Action Horses, and his equine team! What does it take to create an 'Action Horse' for TV, film and performance, and how to get started, from training a young horse to progressing an experienced horse.

'Learn their language and only be limited by your patience and capacity to communicate'

Ben will be bringing his team of top horses and with their help he will guide us through his in depth training techniques and methods, which he uses to create confident, happy, and bomb proof horses! Once your horse is bomb proof, you will be prepared to excel in Liberty, Classical dressage, the madness of the film and TV world, or purely enjoy your horse. From happy hacking to Hickstead, Ben's methods are sure to help you reach your goals.

Ben is a professional equine stunt rider, trick trainer and rider from East Yorkshire. He has been riding his whole life and is a key member of the family business, Atkinson Action Horses, who have spent nearly three decades training horses and riders for Film, TV and live events. They pride themselves on being ready for any task that comes to them and they provide to the industry, horse master and lead actors horses, stunt training for riders and horses, liberty horses, carriage driving horses and classically trained dressage horses.

"When I see a horse I see something that is pure and free, untainted by greed like humans are. I see something that will do anything for you and always love you no matter how many mistakes you make or how little you understand. They are the kindest and most generous creatures on the planet."  Ben Atkinson
