Let’s get to know a little more about all-round horseman, Ross Cooper of Rosca Horsemanship!
Unlike many who grew up riding before they could walk, Ross did not find himself in the company of horses until his teenage years, and as the best things happen, completely by chance! Whilst some may deem this otherwise, Ross has always seen this as a benefit; he never did feel quite right about the way traditional and conventional ways were taught, therefore his own ‘late starting’ allowed him to ask question and carve out his own path.
Now over a decade later working professionally within the industry, and as a continual student of the horse, the approach of Rosca Horsemanship is not one built on methods or modalities, but one that seeks to work compassionately and practically with the individual equine in-front of him to create safety and soundness in mind and body within his teaching, encompassing everything that makes up the horse-human relationship.
To Ross, the art of a great horseman is not to master the horse, but to master yourself.
From foundation through to advanced horsemanship, Ross works alongside all manner of horses, from pleasure to performance, big to small, over a variety of disciplines covering a wide range of training aspects that include hands-on training on the ground and in the saddle, to dynamic ridden coaching for all ages, skill-sets, styles and disciplines, helping you to reach your full potential as equestrians, riders and individuals.
Having been fortunate enough to work alongside a number of world-renowned horsemen, Ross has also worked alongside a multitude of organisations and horses around the world including in the United States of America and Southern Africa.
Ever adding to his repertoire of skills to enhance his own development, Ross has gained accreditation over the year as, including but not limited to, Equine Behaviour Consultant, Level 3 in Equine Psychology, UKCC Level in General Riding, UKCC Level 2 in Western Riding, Level 4 in Lameness and Rehabilitation, Equine Sports Massage and Rehabilitation Therapist, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and multiple CPD courses focusing on equine behaviour, biomechanics of both equines and riders, trauma and the nervous system.
Centrally located in the United Kingdom, Rosca Horsemanship is based on the border of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, The Midlands, offering commutes Nationwide to you for private lessons and sessions as well as residential training stays.
Ross holds a number of public clinics, demonstrations and workshops through the year and is always approachable to discuss public or private clinics, new venues and collaborations in the UK, EU and Worldwide.
In addition Ross offers a number of energy healing and manual therapies, such as Reiki and Human Sports Massage Therapy, is an International Horse Agility Accredited Trainer (HAAT) and author, regularly contributing to several of the UK's leading equestrian magazines.
