Training Barn

Training Barn At the Training Barn we offer 1:1 guidance, group courses and online training. The Training Barn is also run by Hannah Freeland.

The Training Barn was created by the extremely talented Emily Hancock FBIPP since creating this haven for training and progressing budding equine photographers Emily has stormed the art world and has an incredible array of Limited Edition Fine Art prints for sale. Hannah has been running her successful equine photography company for the past 16 years and has been asked time and time again to talk

to up and coming equine photographers and to conduct courses. These 2 work together beautifully, constantly laughing and helping other photographers with their creative or business needs.

When was the last time you picked up your camera... just for you?

No client.
No deadline.
No brief.
No pressure to create something that would sell.

Just the freedom to explore.

Looking back over my career, I can see that some of the biggest shifts in my creativity didn't happen during paid jobs. They happened on the days I gave myself permission to wander, experiment and photograph purely because something caught my eye.

For me, Iceland has been one of those places. Every trip has quietly shaped my work in ways I didn't even realise at the time.

The funny thing about creativity is that it often works beneath the surface. You may not see the impact today, but years later you'll look back and realise those photographs you took simply for the joy of creating changed the direction of your work forever.

I've written a new blog sharing why I believe making time to create without expectation is one of the greatest investments you can make in your creative journey.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is...
"If I just keep posting on social media, clients will eventually come."
The reality?
Successful equine photography businesses use a combination of marketing strategies.

Over the years we've developed marketing plans that continue to fill our diaries year after year, and it's one of the biggest reasons our delegates leave feeling confident about growing their businesses.

Inside the mentorship you'll learn how to market both online and in person, including:
🐴 Making the most of equestrian events.
🤝 Building valuable collaborations.
📱 Using social media with purpose.
✍️ Creating blogs and content that attract your ideal clients.

Marketing doesn't have to feel like guesswork.
With the right knowledge and a clear plan, you can stop hoping for enquiries and start creating a business that consistently attracts the right people.

Are your inbox and diary a little quieter than you'd like?
You know you can create beautiful equine photographs.
You love what you do.
You've invested in your camera and your skills.
But the enquiries just aren't coming.
Here's the thing...

Finding clients isn't about luck. It's about having a marketing strategy that works.
Inside our 1 Year Mentorship Programme, we dedicate entire modules to helping you:
✨ Identify your ideal client.
✨ Learn where to find them.
✨ Build genuine connections.
✨ Create marketing that encourages people to book, not just scroll past.

There isn't a secret place where all your dream clients are hiding.
They're already out there—you just need to know how to reach them.
If you're tired of wondering where your next booking is coming from, maybe it's time to learn a different approach.

Hannah and I have been working alongside each other for some many years now I have lost count. Finding someone who gets what you do why you do it and wants to help you thrive is a gift 🎁 so many of our delegates have said one of the best things about the training barn is the people they meet to share the journey with. As we all know being self employed can be a lonely business but if you can find friends and people who understand the struggles the barriers the hurdles that we all want to leap over and do it together it’s so much more fun ❤️ come join us not only to excel in your business but to find those people that will be your second family cheering you on from the sidelines…..

Picture this.

It's one year from today.

You're confidently photographing horses and their owners.

Your portfolio reflects your unique style.

Clients are reaching out because they love your work.

You're surrounded by like-minded photographers who cheer you on, support your growth, and celebrate your wins.

Now ask yourself:
👉 What needs to happen today for that future to become reality?

Every successful equine photographer started exactly where you are now—with a dream, a little uncertainty, and a decision to take the next step.
We won't pretend that stepping outside your comfort zone is easy.

But we do know this:
The photographers who succeed aren't always the most talented when they start.
They're the ones who decide they're worth investing in.

If you've been thinking about joining our next 1-Year Equine Photography Mentorship Programme, we'd love to chat.
No pressure.
No obligation.
Just an honest conversation about your goals and whether it's the right fit for you.

💬 Send us an email at [email protected] and let's talk about where you want your photography journey to take you.
