We take on very limited amount of horses in for training. At this time we are offering advancing, conditioning, and groundwork. We currently are not accepting any horses for starting. If you are interested in sending your horse, let me know your goals so that we can create a plan. I try and provide a individualized program and schedule. I prefer to charge per session, rather than a monthly rate.
My goals for any horse, is that they can leave my program not only improved, but also mentally and physically sound. I want a foundation that is build on trust and understanding, not force or enticement. I want a horse to feel safe, soft, and confident. I want a horse to respond in a respectful but relaxed way. Let me help you build strong pillars to create a lifelong and versatile partner.
Boarding options are private pen, semi private paddock, or group pasture board. All horses must be up to date on basic care such as feet, teeth, and worming. Exceptions are made for young and unhandled horses going into the development program.
ADVANCING/FINE TUNING – $40/ride + board:
Horses that can walk/trot/lope under saddle, and know the basics, but are in need of more buttons. I build off what the horse already knows, keeping the foundation solid, and educating the horse through the process. I work off the seat and legs, and help to develop a supple and relaxed horse that responds to cues. All the fundamentals of body control are worked on. Whether you just want a broke and safe horse, or you want to enter the show pen and need you horse tuned up – I can help you get there. You will need to ride and demonstrate what the horse can do, and I will take it from there.
CONDITIONING/MAINTENANCE – $30/session + board:
For the older horse that is broke to ride and has no issues. Just simply needs some riding time to get back into shape. This program will get your horse fit and in work mode. I really take into account your horses body condition, cardio, strength and flexibility and tailor a program that suits their needs. There is more to this program than just getting on your horse and getting them sweaty. You will need to ride and demonstrate what the horse can do or have video proof of the horses training level, and then I will take it from there.
YOUNG HORSE DEVELOPMENT – $30/session + board:
For weanlings, long yearlings and 2 year olds that need to be halter broke or have some manners installed. I work with these kindergartners calmly and consistently so they become friendly, quiet, and respectful. When they have the proper handling from a young age, they are that much easier to start later. They will learn all the basics such as catching, leading, tying, picking up their feet, trailer loading, ect. I also start desensitizing them to tarps, ropes, plastic bags ect. I also spend some time ponying them along side another horse. They will be saddled if they are ready. Please note this is not a riding program.
