I joined The TRT method because I wanted to start my own 2 horses.
It will gide you through the different steps. If you have questions you can ask them in the community.
The response time on the question from a moderator takes sometimes a few days and if you react on the reactions below your post you don't always get an answer. But from other members is quicker. Maybe I have to tag someone?
For now I am very curious about how the process of starting my young horse will continue.
The TRT method helped me when I got stuck with my young horse. The human learning and delivery to the horse was incremental and worked to calm my very sensitive mare. Directing energy at the space not my mare was so such a simple fix for some of my issues. I highly recommend the TRT method. Value for money as well.
I started TRT training when I felt alone and over horsed by my 16.3hh warmblood. Due to only having one eye, she was full of fear and continuously imposing on my space rearing it was dangerous. I began this course, and I'm pleased to say the behaviour stopped and she become my best friend. I'm now using the young horse modules for her 2 offspring and fully enjoying training them. I highly recommend this course for anyone with any type of horse or pony. Anything is possible when you have TRT in your pocket 💞
I have been following TRT method for a number of years and have found it invaluable in handling and training my young warmbloods from foals to under saddle and beyond.
The TRT Method program is amazing training and supreme support and so much contact and active staff support. This business is all about positive training of horses and supporting clients through every exercise and challenge. The training modules, community groups, and live Q&A and printable worksheets and quides are so supportive. The cost is reasonable for average income. Tristin is so clear and thorough in demostrating and explaining his training with many videos and case studies.
Tristan and his team, through the courses and curated Q&A sessions, have been a huge help to me and my horses. Tristan's approach resonated with me when I started to see his social posts at a time when I was struggling with the horse I ride most, That was over two years ago and through following Tristan's approach I've not just been able to form a better connection with my horse, but also found a better horseman within myself.
The way his approach is set out through remote learning is easy to navigate and the video content is well explained. The TRT community is equally important in helping users to understand what they are doing right as well as wrong, and how to improve with their individual horses. I highly recommend the TRT Method.
I love TRT and the videos <3 and having a community to get real live feedback is just amazing. At first I knew that I liked TRT, but never wanted to spend the time to watch the videos and learn. But then I did, and it helped me so so much. And the community is so supportive. It's awesome. Definitely worth the investment for those that are wondering!!
Tristan and his team are great people that understands the horses and their owners (caregivers). In that way they can really help you. Because you can only really help them if you understand both.

I would highly recommend Tristan and the TRT method. This method completely transformed my horse from being crazy nervous and not being able to do anything with him to him being able to understand that he can relax on his own. The more you practice it and watch the videos, the more knowledge you will get out of it and the more you will understand it. It took me a bit to really understand what Tristan was looking for and that I wasn't controlling his calm but allowing him to find his calm. Once I figured that out, everything clicked. That came from me watching and analyzing what he was doing and looking for in the horse every time he sent out a video of him working on the horse. I love that I can rewatch the online course and then go out and practice. I have learned so much from TRT, and I am building a relationship with my horse I never had before. I only wish I had found Tristan and the TRT method sooner. I highly, highly recommend his courses.
I bought a 2.5 year old whose body was a little too big for his brain. It was a different experience starting him than with other horses I've brought along. Signing up for TRT helped me gain confidence on the ground and helped him find his balance. He's now 3.5 years old and going well under saddle and he enjoys his time with people which is the most important thing. Well worth the investment as the insight you gain will be with you forever.
I got to know my horse in all aspects. Building relationship strong. Gave me new knowledge about horses in general. New ways off handling “problems”. Knowledge about have my horse moves on its legs and have I can help my horse to get self control in the bony and in the Braine. My horse learns bye starting to think and uses mentally. Amazing and something that helps me as a leader off the horse. It gives me as a rider self confidence and makes me relax in the sadel in the area an and on tour in the nature. I use all TRT Tools and it helps a lot to work with them and it gives my horse experience with noises and being all around my horse. I love my rope halter, that thing is so important in training, leading to the field or as an extra safeguard on top off my bridle with the bit when I am at new plays / competitions. It do the ground work before getting on and my horse gets relaxed and in focus. So I TRT is gets My highest recommendations 🤩
TRT has genuinely changed the way I approach horses. What I particularly value is the focus on understanding tension, awareness and the horse’s emotional state, rather than simply correcting behaviour.
I’ve been applying the principles with particularly sensitive, reactive horses and the changes in thier ability to process pressure, release tension and regulate have been fascinating.
Tristan gives you a framework, but also encourages you to observe, think and develop your own feel. For me, that’s what good horsemanship should be about.
Highly recommended!
Customer service from Christy is world class. She is professional and prompt in responding.
I have benefited from the life time membership option because some things happened with one of my horses and I was not able to continue right away. When he was healed, I was able to go back and start over for a refresher and then pick up where we left off. Being able to go through the modules at your own pace is perfect. Not all of my horses progress at the same pace.
Having Q&A sessions is so very helpful in making me feel successful and able to progress through challenges. Tristan has answered my question live and that felt like getting a personal one on one. But I also learn from other people's questions and challenges.
Having space to chat with others has been encouraging at times when I was feeling discouraged. There are some amazing people in there that have always said the right things or have provided links to information from past videos.
The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because things got moved around and it became harder to find things because they weren't where they had been. I hope that is not something they do often as it was and still is frustrating. I often learn where something has been moved to from the chat because it is not always intuitive.
I have shared TRT with others and I hope for their continued success and growth.
A sustainable and for longterm great education for everybody that loves beeing with horses in every way.
I have seen Tristan in Netherlands and I bought his method 4 years ago. I was a rider for a long time but I had to improve the connection and it comes from the ground where a lot was missing. This method helps me so much to understand the horse and to improve even if I had a lot to go on. The huddle is very clear. I loved the part with Alizee Froment also 🥰
I hope every rider can follow these knowledge for the horses😊
I have been working with horses for 35 years and I am always searching to improve my training/communicating with horses... I found it with the TRT method! It has been such a transformation in my training and communicating with my horses!
Thank you to the TRT group!
I have a mare, own breed which was so spooky that I lost all confidence. She was allways tensed, even on the field. After bying TRTmethod, I started working with her, not even very intense and I have a whole ohter horse now. She still has her moments, but I can take her tense away and continue without running around in the arena or even comming down. I trust on the methode and love riding again.
The course is detailed and technical in the best way, so I'm learning a lot while feeling supported along the way.
I didn't expect to find this much support in an online course. I'm dealing with real people who are always available and who genuinely listen. There is a community where I can share my problems and my wins, and everyone is supportive.
For sure I'd highly recommend.
It works! The system is clear and understandable. Individual cases that show how to adapt to different types of horses, the fantastic demonstration as events and the short video clips as well as the blog/pdf helped me to be clear and consistent. I think the Q and A is a useful format. I always find clues that I can think about. The community is really supportive.
As a new 4 years old arabian owner, I wanted him to get the best education and to be able to share the best relationship together. Not only for me to feel safe outside in riding but mostly for my horse to know how he can selfmanage his emotions and energy by himself. (I wish someone taught me how to do it for myself as I was a kid !)
I learned about this method through Facebook. I was curious as it seemed "not conventional" and actually filling the gaps I was missing with other methods.
Every horsmanship technique I learned through the past 30 years whispers about horse selfmanagement but actually never adress it properly. The TRT Method allows a deeper understanding of the horse mechanisms and physiology to really know your horse and yourself in the end !
Even for an experienced horse/rider with "small problems" or just to level up your relationship awareness, I'm sure that the TRT Method can bring something to rise your game in complicity and in performance.
It's been 4 weeks now that I began the TRT Method and I am so happy to realize what brings my young horse into tension and to know how to teach him to release it by himself and relax. I've already seen a difference in his management and I know how to react for example when he becomes forward and pushy to bring him back to a neutral state.
With the TRT app, I can follow many video courses, ask questions and post videos to get some help. I usually get complete answers from TRT administrators within 24-48 hours. The help is warm, quick, efficient and personalized. I feel good in the TRT community, we are supporting eachother through good wibes and encouragements.

As seen in
WHO IS THE TRT METHOD FOR?
Your horse is sweet in the stable, but the moment you head to the arena, the field or the trailer, you feel him grow. Head up, body tight, eyes everywhere except on you.
You have learned to manage the tension. Avoid that corner, skip the windy days, keep the leg on and hope. It works, until it doesn't, and it never feels like the partnership you wanted.
You've tried riding through the tension. You have done groundwork before. Circles, yielding, repetition. But no matter how hard you try, nothing seems to lead to lasting changes.
THE REAL PROBLEM
Nature gave your horse one answer to pressure: leave. Then came stables, trailers, shows and a rider on board. When tension rises, your horse does the only thing nature taught him, and we call it spooking, bolting or being difficult.
That is what the TRT Method is: the mental training of the horse.
In small, controlled steps your horse learns to notice his own tension and find his way back to relaxation. First on the ground, then with the tools, then under saddle.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Tristan trained horses to Grand Prix level and became world famous for showing that a calm, confident horse is made, not born. His method has reached over 122,000 riders in more than 90 countries, from anxious owners with a spooky cob to Olympic riders.
TRUSTED BY PROFESSIONALS
"What I love about the TRT Method is that it gives horses the tools to manage their own tension, allowing their true expression to shine through with total confidence."
Alizée FromentGP Dressage & Liberty Artist"The TRT Method gives me the tools to prepare my horses mentally for the biggest stages in the world. It's essential for safety and performance."
Julia KrajewskiOlympic Gold Medalist Eventing"In top sport, the mental state of the horse is just as important as the physical training. The TRT Method is my go-to system for developing a focused, happy athlete that can truly relax under challenging circumstances."
Marten LuitenEuropean Dressage Champion U25"Working with young horses and stallions requires a clear system. The TRT Method provides an incredible framework that takes the guesswork out of training, building a partnership based on true confidence rather than force."
Matt HarnackeEquestrian Influencer & Dressage RiderRIDER STORIES
From bolting to riding again
My ex-trotter was so stressed and reactive that trying to ride her was genuinely dangerous; she would panic and bolt. TRT helped us rebuild our connection from the ground up, especially through liberty work. She finally learned to relax without pressure, and now we can safely gallop together.
Trailer loading without fear
Trailer loading used to terrify Thor. Since we started using the TRT method, the transformation has been amazing. He now happily stands in the open float, totally relaxed and stress-free. It just goes to prove that this method really works.
Young horse: from frozen to forward
I felt like I was failing my young horse. He would freeze up, and every ride became a battle that destroyed our confidence. Thanks to the TRT method, the tension release exercises helped him focus on his body. Now he has the tools to help himself, and we are finally connected.
From biting and kicking to ridden
Lila was in so much tension that she was biting and kicking whenever you tried to touch her. She couldn't even be ridden or lunged. Thanks to the TRT method, we taught her how to release that tension in her body first. Eventually, she started to trust us, and working with her became a real pleasure.
From needing sedation to thriving as a hunter jumper
Many recommended behavioral euthanasia for Da Vinci. He was terrified of everyone and needed sedation for basic care. By logging a ton of TRT hours, we established a clear language. Now, his ability to process new environments has improved tenfold, he no longer needs sedation, and he is thriving in his new career as a hunter jumper.
Forest trail rides, enjoyed again
My mare arrived very anxious and hot in her head, basically a mirror image of myself. Working with the TRT patterns helped us gain confidence in one another. We can finally enjoy trail rides in the forest and it helped me find joy in my riding again.
