Jenku has provided me with the ultimate tool in my training box, the key to great communication with my horses! Using Clicker training allows me to instantly reward my horse when I get what I want, which is very useful in all aspects of training. I love the way Jenku can break down a very complex movements or behaviours into very small little easy to achieve steps.


Jenku started helping me with a very sensitive retired racehorse Mark In Time who I was busy training as an event horse, he would often blow up in a competition environment and he hated the warm-up arena as he was afraid of thing behind him. Jenku helped me train him how to cope with things he found scary and how to approach un-known objects. Time responded so well to the training and me being a sucker for a challenge decided to enter Working Riding/Utility at shows in order to prepare him for Compleat Horse Derby. Being an Event horse he could jump and do dressage but was always very suspicions of walking over foreign objects, picking up flapping things and noise from crowds. Our training focuses on making Time bomb proof and learning some “tricks” for the Free Test. Over the years I trained Time to do Spanish Walk, Piaffe and Passage and I must add it was all just for fun! This training system is totally stress and tension free. After ending 2nd twice in the Compleat Horse Derby, finally we won in 2018. Being a Thoroughbred without big movement Time has done exceptionally well in dressage placing 3rd in the Advanced DSA Challenge with 67,67 % as well as placing 4th in the Advanced Championship at SA Dressage Championships. Training Spanish Walk has freed up his shoulders a lot helping us achieve high marks for the Extended and Medium trot. Passage has helped develop the quality of the trot. Mark In Time and Claire also won the SA Working Hunter Championships in 2014.


Today Jenku’s methods form an integral part of my training system from young foals from 2 weeks of age to older horses who have a fear of water jumps. I am a hobby breeder and my foals are halter trained by a month old and can stand tied up by 3 months of age, this helps stops them eating their mothers feed which is detrimental to their development. Early training makes life so much easier! Jenku has also helped me back my homebred horses in a calm relaxed manner.

It seemed impossible to me that I would be able to load my horse into a horse box and take him on an outing.  Jenku made it possible!

Jenku broke down the loading process into small, simple, achievable steps for me and my horse.  This included teaching my horse (and me) to return to a calm body posture if my horse became stressed.  As we practiced the steps (with plenty of rewards and praise), my horse and I became increasingly calm and confident in performing the steps.

Over time, all of those successfully executed small steps added up to easy, happy loading and trucking.

Jenku's extensive knowledge, practical expertise, creative problem solving, enthusiasm and kindness made the learning journey fun and safe for me and my horse.  Thank you, Jenku, from the bottom of my heart.

Love, Julie van Rijswijk

Do I need special equipment for JenkuMethod?

It is important to keep things simple. Jenku believes, the smaller the toolbox - the bigger the skill. Apart from your normal equipment, all you need is a reward bag, a knotted rope halter, a 4.5m horse handling rope and an in-hand whip. Rope reins would be nice, but they are optional.
