Nicole Sherwood | Urban Horse School

Nicole Sherwood, founder of Urban Horse School and contributor to Horsemanship Journal. 

Specializing in young horse training, Nicole's unique approach emphasizes patient groundwork before transitioning to riding. Her expertise lies in developing a horse's mental and emotional balance, often quoting Martin Black: "It doesn't matter how many times a horse gets stressed, what matters is they come back down to relaxation, this is when they learn something positive from the situation."

Nicole has developed a training style that blends traditional wisdom with modern understanding. She advocates for training outside the arena, believing varied environments are crucial for a horse's development.

Through her work at Urban Horse School and her series for Horsemanship Journal "Nicole's Horsemanship Hangouts", Nicole shares her knowledge widely. She challenges conventional arena-only training, encouraging riders to expose horses to real-world situations for a well-rounded education.
