Horseman Forsman
The Forsmanship Method by Stefan Forsman
Natural, psychology-based horse training built on trust and clear communication. A method for every horse.
Over the years, riders from all levels have experienced the Forsmanship difference: calmer horses, clearer communication, and deeper trust.
Here are a few of their stories.

“Stefan Forsman is one of the rare people on this planet who truly understands how a horse thinks. When in the USA, Stefan taught many people who had never been exposed to his way of thinking, people that thought they knew it all – but were awakened when they experienced his methods. It runs deep in his body and mind and to be able to learn from him is a true gift. We must seize the moment these great teachers come along. I am glad I did and forever thankful my path crossed with him.
These horseman, people like Dave Jones and Stefan were teaching natural horsemanship skills back in the 80’s. They have given so much of their knowledge and hearts to the horses.”

“Stefan — In all the times I was around you, you treated everyone you met with integrity. You were friendly, outgoing, and honest. You always did your best to help others. You never tried to be or acted in any way that gave the appearance of being better than anyone else — regardless of race. You lived humbly and treated everyone you met with respect. Your training practices were of the highest caliber. You loved the animals and always treated them with respect as well. You worked with your clients to help them understand the nature and behavior of horses — so that the humans could be more effective in their human/horse relationships. I have nothing but the greatest respect for who you are and what you do to help your clients and their horses! I also know your love of dogs. I gained so much more skill and understanding of horses after working with you — to this day I thank you for all you taught me!
Thank YOU. You gave me a gift that can never be replaced — my love and understanding of horses was taken to a new level and that is something that I will have forever! Thank you!”

“Har haft lyckan att få lära känna Stefan personligen o fått tagit del av hans enorma kunskapsbank!! Jag vill påstå att han är en av dom nu levande största hästkarlar vi har!! Har på mina resor runt världen lärt känna ett x antal stora profiler i dom flesta av hästsportens discipliner men ingen med den enorma bredden av kunskap som han även gärna delar med sig av.”
English translation: “I’ve had the privilege of getting to know Stefan personally and tapping into his enormous wealth of knowledge!! I would claim that he is one of the greatest living horsemen we have today!! On my travels around the world, I’ve met quite a number of big names and top profiles in most equestrian disciplines, but none with the incredible breadth of knowledge that he possesses—and gladly shares with others.”.
