What is Nevzorov Haute Ecole?
NHE is a philosophy with emphasis on the horse and human relationship based on putting the horse first, with the understanding “the horse is always right” (Alexander Nevzorov). Putting the horse first means we are listening to the horse and have educated ourselves in the complete physiology of the horse. This enables us to know the when and what to ask of the horse, that is age and developmentally appropriate, plus always listening to the horse as well. Building a relationship with the horse on the horse’s terms which opens the door to greater mutual communication. The use of bits, spurs, whips, halters, horseshoes, etc. is strictly forbidden as these items all do damage to the horse. The horse is not to be “USED” in any way, pleasure riding, equestrian sports, show, or entertainment; the horse is not here for our pleasure. Our first and foremost concern is the total well-being of the horse enabling them to live a glorious life expressed in the pure joy of being.Carole Graham* * * NHE
