Training

What training services do we offer? We offer training for miniatures, ponies and full sized horses. I primarily teach horses and owners to work together which builds confidence, trust and a willing partnership. I believe that leadership does not transfer therefore I feel it is very important that the owner learn how to work with their horse, after all you will still be working with the horse long after I have finished my work and I want you to be successful leader.

Will consider horses, ponies or miniatures for training without owner participation if:

  • the horse is for sale
  • for the first 30 days to help the horse get going in the right direction but the owner will still have some involvement
  • the owner is several hours away but can take some lessons at the end of the training process

There is an initial consultation for new clients as we both need to make sure we are a good fit for each other. I reserve the right to decline any client or horse, just as you have the right to decline my services.

Training Method

My approach for training is positive reinforcement (clicker horse training) combined with my style of Natural Horsemanship which is working with the horse’s natural language, their instincts, personality plus we also look at saddle fit, dentistry, hoof care and nutrition.  

**Attention: All horses accepted in for training must have a current coggins, current hoof trim, sound and in good health. If you use traditional vaccinations they must be given 30 days prior to coming to our facility no exceptions! A training contract and liability release form must be completed before the horse begins training.   

Rates DO NOT Include Board: Training Fees as of January 1st, 2012(subject to change)

Due to the drought and the drastic increase in hay prices we've had to increase our prices.
