Stable

Year round horse training is available for your needs. Whether it is starting your new horse under saddle, gait development for a started horse, trail experience for the sensitive horse, or fear issues for the human or the horse, help is ready and a customized program can be set up for your unique requirements. Remember winter is a great time to prepare for spring riding activities.

Horse well-being and understanding without force is emphasized as natural methods of communication are used. Desensitization is critical for relaxation and confidence so horses are brought along in an arena, then small paddocks, then larger fields and finally on trails as appropriate. Similarly rider/owner issues can be addressed because fear and inexperience often contribute to difficulties around horses.

You will be told how your horse has been taught so you can maintain improvement at home, a vital way to retain the benefits of the training. Changing some of your habits or the next steps in a progression might be suggested to continue positive development. Learning for all of us is an ongoing project! The goal is to help you have a happy, safe, and fun relationship with your horse.
