Our goal is to develop horses that want to work - horses that will accept the different challenges we ask of them and trust our decisions. You have invested a lot in your horse - we offer practical, proven training development for your horse and are confident that you will be satisfied with the results.
     
    Method
   
Training is started in a round pen, working on trust drills, leading, and basic ground work. After the horse is settled in a comfort zone, we include driving in the round pen and eventually in a big area, over logs and miscellaneous obstacles. Once a horse responds willlingly to what is being asked, we begin riding.
     
   
Safety for both horse and handler is consistently stressed. By avoiding bad or stressful situations, the horse has a more pleasant and positive training session.
     
   
We assess each horse daily to determine how its training should be modified. Our motto is, "Don't make the horse fit the program, make the program fit the horse."
     
   
To maintain horses in peak condition and in their best performance attitude, fitness training is done using our state-of-the-art- hot walker, in addition to regular, daily workouts. We also believe that horses should have their own time, so all horses are turned out in pasture at least 3 - 4 hours each day.
     
   
We are proud of the success achieved through our personalized care and training program and invite you to contact us for further information.
