Training
My training techniques are very quiet and calm. I do not use any harsh training methods. Our facility prides itself in our gentle methods of colt starting and training.
We encourage you to have your ground work started and going solid so that we can focus our attention on riding and training. Some Horses need more extensive ground training and will need extra time on this and would take away from our riding time. If you would like ground work first before training, we will give you a discount for this.
I start all of the horses myself and will set aside 10 hrs of training time each week on your horse. Usually it is 5 days a week 2 hrs a day. After the horse has a good solid foundation going I will have another assistant ride them a few times so they get the feel of another rider.
Once a horse is going good in the arena, we will start them on the trails behind our facility. If you would like more extensive trail riding experience we can take them to other locations for a small fee. Some days we will go on 4 or 5 hr trail rides. This gives your horse solid trail experience.
During the time your horse is at our facility you are encouraged to come by any time to see the progress of your horse. We will give each client lessons on their horse to show what progress has been made and any problems that still need work.
We also offer 2 week tune ups at a discounted rate. These tune ups are designed to get your horse back into shape and performing in the way it was before being off for any length of time. It will also help when you are looking to sell a horse.
I have an assistant Shandi who helps with grooming, tacking up, feeding, stall cleaning, ground work, and accompanying me on the trail rides. A friend Chenelle comes out and volunteers a few days a week to keep up her skills. My Husband JD also helps with the round pen work, tune ups and trail rides.
We only have 4 spaces available at a time for training and 2 spots for ground work each month. We offer monthly, bi weekly, weekly, daily and hourly rates. Also special rates for Weanlings and yearlings. We will travel to you when needed.
