True change starts with COMMUNICATION
it's the bridge to solving problems
and building real connection.
Hello!!!
I am Tom, an experienced and passionate horse trainer and instructor based in canton Luzern, Switzerland 
. My goal is to help horses to fit better and horse owners improve their relationships with their equine companions through the power of communication. With my guidance, you'll learn how to understand your horse's non-verbal cues and build trust with them. My program is for everyone, whether you're an experienced competitor, trail rider, or just starting to socialize with horses. My approach emphasizes a strong foundation in communication, trust and respect. That is the keys to a successful partnership between you and your horse. By positioning yourself as a trustworthy and respectful leader, you can foster a deep bond where your horse feels confident and focused. This bond enhances not only your horse's happiness and communication but also their willingness to follow your lead. That is resulting in a more obedient and cooperative companion.

Working with Difficult, Distrustful or Shut-Down Horses
Not even one horse is “bad” — but many are misunderstood, confused, or never learned how to trust. With the Ride with Tom method, I help horses regain calmness, clarity, and responsiveness through clear communication and respectful pressure-release techniques. For effective communication with horses, it's essential to understand their psychology. Horses have clear behavioral norms within their herds, including hierarchies and leadership roles. By positioning yourself as a trustworthy and respectful leader, you can build a strong bond of mutual trust and respect with your horse. This results in a happy and communicative horse that feels confident, focused, and better equipped to handle challenges, completing any type of training successfully.

Teaching You to Communicate with Your Horse
Training the horse is only half the journey — the real progress happens when you, the owner, learn to communicate clearly.
With my guidance, you’ll learn how to use your body, energy, focus, and timing to give your horse messages he understands — whether you're on the ground or in the saddle. It’s not just about riding. It’s about being understood in every situation:
Leading your horse with calm, confident energy Visiting the vet or farrier without stress or resistance Loading into a trailer willingly Asking for stillness, movement, or softness — and getting it Building a partnership that’s based on trust, not force
Your horse listens to you more than you think — the question is: what are you really saying?
Let me help you speak your horse’s language — and turn every interaction into progress.
