Elsa Willans-Davis

Elsa has been a full time trainer at AEBC since 2004 when she was offered a position after completing her 2 year traineeship. Elsa has grown into a remarkable trainer and teacher of the AEBC system with extensive experience in foundation training, re-training of problem behaviours and more advanced dressage and jumping schooling.

Elsa's experience is very diverse, her training toolbox includes not only effective in hand and under saddle techniques that employ negative reinforcement (pressure release), but also positive reinforcement (reward) and secondary reinforcement (clicker training) techniques. Elsa has worked on the nuisance training of mounted police horses, reforming horses that don't load, racehorses with barrier problems, advanced level dressage horses with contact issues, all manner of ridden behaviour problems, performance horses, started countless young horses under saddle,  trained  high level FEI dressage movements, schooled horses for showjumping and cross country and all in between.  

Elsa is in high demand as a trainer due to her ability to consistently produce relaxed and obedient horses. She is also a sought after instructor who teaches here at AEBC and also visits Tonimbuk, Gisborne, Geelong,  Albury, Tamworth, South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania.
