NAGTrader 'natural' horsemanship & horse-related articles and classified adverts

Buying or selling a special kind of horse or pony?

Interested in the more 'natural' approach to horses and horsemanship?

NAGTrader is dedicated to promoting a more Natural approach to the horse and pony with Authentic articles from some of the most respected authorities in the equine world for your Guidance and our Trader classified ad section to buy or sell horses and ponies.

Dr Cook Bitless Bridle™ is now available in the UK!

The horse world is gradually coming round to the idea of more Natural methods of keeping, schooling & riding horses & ponies for example:

• the Natural Horsemanship movement
• barefoot trimming of horse & pony hooves
• the Dr Cook crossover Bitless Bridle, (no experience necessary!!)
• treeless saddles
• the Chiron Style of horse riding and jumping
• Western riding for its more relaxed style of riding (especially suitable for people with leg & back injuries, arthritis etc who find themselves no longer able to enjoy the traditional ‘English’ style of riding)
• natural, herbal & homeopathic treatments for horses, ponies, cats, dogs etc
• round-penning & so-called ‘horse whisperers’ (see The Len Judd Effect)
• 24-hour turnout (as much as possible)
• photonic therapy for horses (& other animals & people!)

Our Trader section (coming soon) welcomes ads for all horses & ponies from all disciplines, but we felt there was a need for somewhere to bring all of the Natural ideas together, and particularly to offer facilities where you can advertise and buy or sell a horse or pony (via the Trader section) which has been brought up in, or ‘converted to’, some, or all, of these more Natural ways of horsemanship - as well as horses and ponies that have had a more traditional upbringing.

NAGTrader is always pleased to read articles and personal equestrian experiences from contributors. We will publish these as time and space allows.

NAGTrader also offers a wide range of help and advice, through articles, links, our own team of experts and our forum.
