Do You Feel the Same?

  • You care deeply about the relationship with your horse

  • You care about using methods based on understanding and connection

  • You don’t care much about competing but just want to enjoy your horse doing things together.

  • You have a young horse and you wish to build a partnership for life.

  • Maybe you dream about playing at liberty with your horse and enjoying the connection.

  • And it makes you happy when your horse enjoys every moment spent together.

But it's not all Sunshine and Roses in  Horse World, isn't it?

  • You got a new horse, everything seems to be so different, even with years of horse experience, you feel like a beginner again and your confidence starts fading.

  • You have a youngster and are worried about making mistakes with your horse's education and teaching him bad habits by accident. What should you teach when? When is it too much and when too little?

  • You are worried about making mistakes with your horse's education and teaching him bad habits by accident.

  • Your rescue horse seems to have a lot of baggage from the past and shows some unwanted behaviors. How to fix this without adding more trauma but gaining trust and respect?

  • You are experiencing problems with your horse such as pulling away, pushing you over, spooking or refusing to leave the herd and you wonder how to address those problems without damaging trust.

  • You and your horse are like an old couple and sometimes you wish to be more creative and progressive, but you lack imagination.

  • You have got a new horse and you want to do things differently than with your previous horse. You want to have  a better relationship and you don't want to make the same mistakes as before.

After 20 years of working with horses and coaching hundreds of students with their horses, I found that the reason why people get stuck or run into problems isn’t dedication, passion, time or money:

The number one reason is that owners don't have the complete picture or information.

The second reason is not taking the right action consistently.

Meet Gabi:

The Heart and Soul Behind Operation Dream Horse

Hi, I am Gabi and I am working with horses professionally since 2008.

My passion is young horse education - from foal to versatile leisure partner. 

I love to guide youngsters on the path to becoming happy, and reliable partners for their humans. 

From 2009 till 2022 I worked at a large horsemanship center in France.

I started youngsters, gave lessons, workshops and courses. 

In August 2019 I published my N°1 Best Selling book “Understanding is the Key”.

The book won an award at the Kentucky Equus Film Festivals 2019 as best international horse training book. 

Since late 2019 I am sharing my knowledge and passion with horse lovers like you all around the world through my online programs.  

By now, more than 5500 horse women worldwide have had success through my programs. 

Every horse woman has a dream. As you are reading this, I guess you have one too.

 And I want to support you on the journey to reach your dream with your horse through Operation Dream Horse. 

Successful Students With Happy Horses

My dream is to have the perfect trail ride horse so that I can safely trail ride on my own and in company of other horses.

I have been following Gabi’s programmes since my foal was born. I started with the Roadmap from Foal to Dream Horse, which helped me to have better plans and not leave any holes in my yearling’s education. 

The different Colt Start Documentaries give me guidance, motivation and problem-solving tips. I regularly use them for my other horses too, according to each horse’s personality.

I had experience in horsemanship before, but with Gabi’s programmes I have discovered a whole new level of communication with my youngster.

Nathalie and Jafhar

Bretagne, France

I have always had the dream to form a lifelong partnership with a young horse but never thought I would be able to do it.  Gabi’s courses for young horses have helped make my dream come true!

My partner is Wilson, a 2 year old Appendix Quarter Horse gelding that I adopted from a horse rescue when he was 10 months old. 

Having always had “trained” horses, I have taken for granted all the basic skills that a young horse needs to learn including learning to lead, stand for farrier, wearing tack and blanket, getting used to baths, trailer loading, and more.

Gabi’s videos have helped me get all these basic skills accomplished.  Her charts with guidelines for each year help to make my training plans.

I’m not sure where we will end up, trail riding, showing, chasing cows, but I know these courses will provide a great foundation for whatever we do! 

Lynn Sebek

Illinois, United States

Blues came into my life in April, 2022. He was just about to celebrate his 3rd Birthday. Looking back over the past 10 months, I couldn't imagine not having Gabi's training to learn from.

I resonated with her methods from the first video I watched, and knew she was a person I could put my trust in. Blues isn't my first horse, but he is my first baby that I wished to mostly train myself.

I didn't realize I was in a little over my head until he first came home to me, but at each step, I followed Gabi's trainings.

Building a strong relationship with my horse has always been a primary goal, and Gabi shows you how to consistently and confidently attain that, with love and boundaries.

One of the wonderful things about Gabi's teaching methods are that she shows you how to do things on different horses, and ones that aren't always behaving perfectly. It teaches you ways to deal with situations that arise.

I'm just so very grateful for Gabi's guidance and for helping me lay this foundation. I'm so excited and looking forward to continue learning from Gabi as we progress this year under-saddle, and fine tune the direction we are working towards.

Ashley Gamarello

New Jersey, United States

I was looking for new ways to train and educate my horses, as I am no longer able to ride broncos. 

I have had horses my whole 43 years of life. We now have 10 horses with varying ages from 34- 6.  Two years ago I bought a 9 yr old, that only some halter training for a replacement for my old guy.

I came across Gabi's book and became inspired by her story. I then sought out more educational videos she had available.  The more I saw, the more intrigued I became. I now have all her videos, and can't wait for the next series she creates.

Her ideas on emotional fitness of the horse, to her methods on being able to communicate with our horses and read their behavior is amazing to say the least. 

 We should all want this type of dream relationship with our horses.

She has inspired me to become a better horsewoman, seeking all the information I can to give my horses a happier,  healthier life. I now have a goal and training program set in place for spring.

I believe in Gabi and her methods!

If you are planning to bring your horse to a professional for starting, the documentaries will give you a great overview of what the process should look like. You will gain important knowledge about the specifics of riding young horses and how you can prepare your horse on the ground before sending him off to the professional of your choice.

Tara, unconfident extroverted Shagya Arabian mare

Not Sure if Operation Dream Horse Is Right for You?

WHO IS ODH FOR

  • You own a Youngster, a Rescue Horse, a new horse or you have owned your horse already for a long time

  • You care deeply about the relationship with your horse

  • You care about using methods based on understanding and connection 

  • You don’t want to use old school methods based on dominance theory anymore but you are still a bit unclear about how else horse training can look like.

  • You are dedicated to work on yourself and your qualities as your horse’s leader so that your horse can feel confident and happy 

  • You are aware that horse training takes time, dedication and commitment. There are no quick fixes.

  • Instead of fixing problems, you prefer to look for the root cause to help your horse be at his best

  • You care about your horse’s emotional and physical well-being above achieving competitive goals.

WHO IS ODH NOT FOR

  • Your primary goal is to take your horse out on competition. Nothing against competition, but I am just not the type of trainer you need to support you with this goal.  

  • If you are searching for support to train a specific discipline: jumping, western, dressage competition.

    I am not going to teach you specifics of a certain discipline. Rather, I will give you a broad foundation that will enable you to educate your horse into a safe, happy and easy to ride companion. 

  • You are a stop and go type, tend to quit or change method when things get difficult. There will be difficult times on your journey with your horse. No doubt. ODH is there for you to support you through these times. 

  • You want to dive deep into R+ only training. While I am using a lot of R+, I am not exclusively using R+ only. 

What Other Students Say

Emily Ryba

Minessota, USA

"My biggest takeaway is breaking up the training into very small interactions. It’s easy to be a little overwhelmed with “the plan” but this gives me confidence by how simple each step really is."  

Steph Lingen

Iowa, USA

"I have learned that anything is possible with the proper foundation and assessing where the horse is at the day you are working. Have a goal in mind for the session and making adjustments as you go. Having the horse be an active participant in each part too with kindness and compassion. "

Mary Karom

Georgia, USA

“Your training with different horses are giving me the tools and motivation to successfully communicate with confidence. I am thrilled to have found your site and very appreciative that you offer it at such a reasonable price.” 

Paula Zima

New Mexico, USA

I LOVE your happy calm way of working, but still firm on the non-negotiables; how you invited, understood; recognized and encouraged the horse’s need  to investigate and play. 

Penny Oberneyer

Ohio, USA

"It is amazing to see how you break everything down into little steps, how very thoroughly you explain what you're seeing, thinking, and doing . . . "

Andrea Kraus

Sardegna, Italy

I feel “safe” as I can always go to any of your sessions and courses and get the explanations and instructions/tasks I need. Plus, I have also clear step-by-step plans at hand, which are extremely helpful e.g. when thinking about starting to ride my youngster Hashtag soon.

You Still Have Questions? Here Are the Answers.

Please click the arrow to expand the answer.

Q: Is there a minimum time to stay a member?

No, there is no minimum time to stay a member inside Operation Dreamhorse. You can cancel anytime. 

Q: Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, you can cancel anytime yourself inside your account. I even made a video to show how you can do this. 

Q: How is the billing cycle? Is it automatic?

Your card or your PayPal will be charged every month on the same day. For example, if you join on the 7th, your card or PayPal will be billed again on the 7th the next month. It happens automatically.

Q: What’s the difference to your lifetime access courses?

The main difference is that there will be new monthly videos, a monthly challenge, a community and monthly Q&A sessions.

 

Another difference is that you don’t have lifetime access to the courses included by joining Operation Dreamhorse.

 

My aim is to make my courses more accessible to more people around the world. You will have access as long as you are a member. 

Q: Will I keep access if I cancel after a few months?

No, once you cancel, you won’t have access to any of the courses anymore.

 

Except the courses you bought for lifetime access prior to joining Operation Dream Horse. 

Q: When will the Q&A sessions be?

The Q&A sessions will be on every last Tuesday of the month. You don’t have to be there live. You can pre-submit your question via a form.

 

My team and I will answer every question submitted. The replays will be uploaded to the platform so that you can watch later and get the answer to your question. 

Q: Can I have feedback on videos?

Video coaching takes a huge amount of time. I have to be careful with my time because we have no team to support us for now.

 

This is why there is no video coaching option inside Operation Dreamhorse.

 

I do have a private coaching group, kind of the big sister of Operation Dreamhorse, where video coaching is included. 


The number of members is limited to 35 in this group. You can ask to join if you need intense support when going through a major step of training with your horse.

 

The monthly membership fee is 100$. This included video coaching, unlimited questions inside the community group and bi-weekly coaching calls. 

Q: Can anyone start her own youngster using Gabi’s methods?

My method of starting and educating young horses is not a magic bullet either that will allow anyone to start her own horse. Starting horses takes a certain level of skill, feel and confidence.

 

Even though my methods are simple with a strong focus on safety for horse and rider, starting a young horse yourself might not be the best idea for everybody. 


Owners who lack facility, have confidence issues, don't have enough experience and skill as a rider, have no experience with groundwork, aren’t able to commit enough time, experience health issues and who are still learning themselves, are better advised to bring their youngster to a professional they trust for the initial start. 


Nevertheless, this program will allow you to make lots of progress with your young horse so that you can build that partnership you always dreamt of having. Educating a youngster is about way more than just the start. 


In-person help from a trusted instructor is part of this journey and a critical key to success with your young horse. So, get help if you need help!
