All Training Done with YOUR Horse
(No Lesson Horses Available)

Is your horse too young to be ridden? No problem. Any horse at any age can benefit from early training for better ground manners and developing an overall willing attitude, with an easy, gentle approach.
Each horse (and owner) is evaluated for a tailor-made lesson plan.  

Training for Unbroke or Troubled Horses: From Arena to Trail. ALL TRAINING (regardless if it's a week or a month or more) includes as many lessons as possible for the rider. Come out and watch/participate in the training every day, every other day or at least once a week. The more you're a part of the training, the better you'll be able to understand your horse. No extra charge.

Some training lessons may be video-taped as well. No extra charge. A DVD can be made and you'll have the step by step training lesson to take home.

Not your typical riding lessons. There's a lot more to it than just steering, stopping and backing up. Stop a wreck before it happens. Want to know more about why your horse does what he does? Learn how your horse thinks, why he reacts and know what it means to be an active instead of a reactive rider.

Take control from ground to saddle. Gain confidence through easy step by step instruction at your pace.
Ground Manners, Trailer Loading, Riding in the arena/trail, Anything you need to work on.

Got Fear? Uncertainty? Frustration? Is riding turning into a battle of wills? It's not about force, gimmicks or pain or punishment. It's about learning how to use body language and simple cues to communicate better. The more you know, the easier it gets with practice.
