Our Founders
Claire Waldron
Rachel Bedingfield
Their unique connection and the bridge they have built between online learning and a safe haven for hands on positive horse training
Rachel worked through her loss by helping Claire and her horse Segura deepen their mutual trust and strengthen their connection. In turn, Claire’s family welcomed Rachel with open arms and gave her a safe haven to mourn her loss.
Claire becomes the first Connection Training Instructor
A year later Claire experienced her own traumatic loss when her beloved horse Segura died suddenly. Rachel spent time with Claire, keeping her focused on her dream of becoming a Connection Training Qualified Instructor. They worked together with other horses in order help Claire through her loss, and to fulfil the requirements Claire needed to become an instructor. In September 2016, that dream came true.
Positive Horse Training Spain is born
Our farm is named after Claire's beautiful rescue mare Segura.
Cortijo de Segura means Segura's Farm. Segura means "safe" and our haven is in her memory.
Becoming a Registered Charity
After three years of offering training courses to general horse owners, we realised that our specialism had become equine emotional rehabilitation. We both coach online and have worked with many equine rescue charity staff all over the world.
So we began to think that we could best use our expertise and practical knowledge to specialise in teaching people the best, fairest and most ethical way to rehab rescue horses to secure their long-term happy futures.
Hence, we became a Registered Charity in March 2020.
Our mission is to stay small as a Rescue Centre, but to have a BIG impact on rescue centres all over the world. Our hearts are fully engaged in changing the world for horses and we feel
we can best do that by educating and supporting front-line horse rescues and adopters. We hope you share our passion and want to support us in any way you can.
