The Biggest Misunderstanding In The Horse World
Ready to understand your own horse more clearly?
Train Your Eye is a guided seven-day challenge designed to help you recognise the posture patterns that influence your horse’s balance, movement and muscle development.
You’ll learn what to look for, why it matters and how to assess what is happening in front of you, so you can stop relying on guesswork and make more informed decisions for your horse.

Learn From Tara Osborn
Tara Osborn is the founder of Long Drove Holistic Horse Training and specialises in helping horse owners understand the relationship between posture, movement, and long-term soundness.
Her work focuses on functional movement, musculoskeletal balance, and the compensation patterns that develop when a horse’s body is not working optimally. Through years of working closely with horses in training and rehabilitation, Tara has developed a strong ability to recognise the subtle signs that reveal how a horse is truly functioning.
A core part of Tara’s work involves posture and movement assessments, analysing how horses stand, move, and load their bodies in order to identify the patterns that often precede injury, tension, or performance issues.
What makes her approach different is her ability to translate complex biomechanical concepts into clear, practical observations that horse owners can understand and apply.
Rather than overwhelming people with complicated theory, Tara focuses on training the eye — helping owners recognise the key indicators that reveal what is happening within the horse’s body.
Through her teaching, Tara guides riders and horse owners to develop a deeper awareness of:
• posture and alignment
• loading patterns
• compensation strategies
• early warning signs of dysfunction
This observational skill is one of the most valuable tools a horse owner can develop, allowing them to make better decisions about training, management, and rehabilitation.
Train Your Eye has been designed to share these insights in a way that is accessible, practical, and immediately useful for horse owners who want to better understand their horses.
Learn To Recognise What’s Going On In Your Horse
Imagine looking at your horse and understanding why they stand the way they do, why certain muscles have developed, and why they move the way they do.
Throughout the challenge you’ll learn how to assess five key posture markers, recognise common compensation patterns and understand how balance, alignment and movement influence one another.
Rather than relying on guesswork or conflicting opinions, you’ll have a simple framework that helps you assess your own horse with greater confidence, whether you’re monitoring progress, planning your training or simply trying to understand what your horse is telling you.

-
No. The challenge focuses on observing and assessing your horse’s posture and movement rather than riding. Whether your horse is ridden, retired, in rehabilitation or just starting their training, you’ll learn a framework that helps you better understand how they’re using their body and what it may be telling you.
Ready to understand your horse with greater confidence?
Your horse is already telling you what they need. The question is whether you know what to look for.
Join the Train Your Eye Challenge and learn a simple, repeatable framework that will help you assess your horse with confidence, recognise posture patterns and make more informed decisions about their training and long-term wellbeing.
