“Simplify life for man, make it pleasant for horses“
The Blondeau Method was developed from a simple observation:
the relationship with horses is based on a shared approach between two living beings, each endowed with capacities for observation, adaptation, and intelligence.
It seeks to make situations understandable for the horse.
It relies on the coherence of human interventions, the gradual progression of learning stages, and careful attention to the horse’s responses.
Our approach aims to foster lasting cooperation, enabling the horse to engage, and the human to become a true horseman, capable of reading situations and building over time.
The Blondeau Method applies to all horses, across all disciplines, at every stage of their journey, from the young equid to the experienced horse, and at all levels of human practice.
A scientifically studied method :
The Blondeau Method has been the subject of scientific research conducted on a panel of one hundred foals, observed interacting with men and women within the framework of the CHEVALEDUC programme (2017–2020), led by Jocelyne Porcher (INRAE) and supported by the Normandy Region.
The results of this programme continue to inform and shape the ongoing development of the method.
Gentleness with horses lies in human coherence :
The Blondeau Method prioritizes understanding and thereby contributes to greater safety for riders, grooms, and all professionals working with horses.
The horse engages its strength, energy, and intelligence within a clear, legible, and coherent framework.
Work then gains in fluidity, efficiency, and continuity.
"Rather than just addressing the animal's body, we must also address his mind" (Jack Le Goff).
We need to think like a horse.
