Tristan Tucker is an Australian horseman and Grand Prix dressage rider, who is now based in the Netherlands. His popular, step-by-step training program, the TRT Method is studied by 37 000 students across 64 countries.

Motivated by the principle that riders must focus on the mental training of horses before other training, Tristan has developed a set of tools to solve any equine behavioural problem.
