TRAIN · UNDERSTAND · PRACTICE
Benjamin Aillaud’s teaching, wherever you are.
A complete method, not just a video library
Benjamin Aillaud’s teaching, accessible wherever you are and at your own pace.
Created for riders, drivers and horse lovers who want to understand, practise and progress with their horse.
More than 80 video lessons are available 24/7, with new content added every month.
Understand before you act: learn the purpose, method and expected result of each exercise.
Observe, then reproduce through clear demonstrations you can apply at home or at the stable.
Build a genuine partnership based on respect, trust and your horse’s willing participation.
Your horse is not a tool. The Academy helps you become the clear, fair and consistent partner your horse needs.
Do you want to understand what creates genuine cooperation with your horse?
Would you like to progress with clear guidance, without forcing or doubting every gesture?
Would you like to feel guided even when you work alone?
You love your horse. Yet something still feels unclear.
You ride, you try, you apply advice… but you do not always know why it works — or why it does not. You sense that your horse could progress further, but you do not want to force or act in their place.
You are looking for a clear method to move forward step by step, with fairness.
Aillaud Horse Academy gives you that framework: understand, practise and build lasting cooperation.
YOUR TEACHER
Benjamin Aillaud
“Dream transformer.”
That is the profession I imagined for myself at the age of six and a half, when I bought my first pony with money earned from performing in shows. With him, I discovered a life of adventure and genuine connection.
Forty years later, after years of learning, competition, performance and teaching, I have one desire: to share this vision with you.
Today, I am still a dream transformer — but the dream I want to help fulfil is yours.
You love horses. You want to understand them, progress together and build a relationship based on trust.
With every lesson, you will do more than perform exercises: you will develop clarity, fairness and a lasting partnership with your horse.
That is what I want to help you experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this platform for?
The Academy is designed for riders, drivers and horse owners of every level who want to understand their horse better, progress with clarity and build a relationship that respects the horse’s physical and mental well-being.
Who are the trainers?
Benjamin Aillaud is the Academy’s sole instructor. A qualified riding instructor, international four-in-hand driver and dressage rider, he brings more than 30 years of experience in training horses and riders, equestrian performance and international competition. He also coaches competitive riders and shares the principles that guide his daily work with horses.
How are the lessons organised?
Lessons are organised by subject so you can find the guidance you need while following a coherent learning structure. The Main Training Programme covers ridden work, groundwork, lunging, long reining, liberty and driving. Privilege members also receive guided sessions and Fireside Conversations with the Great Masters. You can watch every lesson as often as you wish while your subscription is active.
Can I learn without in-person supervision?
Yes. The lessons are designed for independent use. Watch the demonstration before working with your horse, then revisit it as often as needed. Always adapt each exercise to your level and your horse, and seek qualified in-person help whenever safety or a specific difficulty requires it.
Can I ask questions or interact with the instructor?
Yes. Each lesson includes a comment area where you can leave your question. Benjamin is notified and replies as soon as possible. Other members can also benefit from the discussion.
Which devices can I use to access the training?
The Academy is accessible on desktop, tablet and mobile, so you can learn at home or at the stable.
Is there a trial period?
There is no free trial. Both monthly plans have no long-term commitment and can be cancelled at any time. You retain access until the end of the period already paid for.
Is the content updated regularly?
Yes. New content is added every month across the Academy’s three modules, and members are notified by email when a new lesson is published.
Do you offer certified training?
The Academy does not issue certifications. In specific cases, Benjamin may help riders prepare for recognised equestrian qualifications.
