TRAINING

I offer a full range of training options for the horse and the human so that you can get the results that you want.

 

Colt Starting 

Have your colt started the natural way through confidence and understanding.  Give them a solid foundation that will stay with them the rest of their life.  Colt starting goes way beyond the horse accepting a rider on its back.  It includes being respectful on the ground and having your horse act like a partner.  I will train your horse to think his way through problems instead of panicking through situations, and build his confidence with change.    Full time training with board starts  at $650 a month and  $550 for part time training.   All colt starts require fulltime training for the first month  after which a reduction in training will be considered based on the horses progress and the owners preference.

Problem Horses

 

Problem horses get this label when the horse has either a dominance or confidence problem that stems from past handling.  Bottom line is that there is a problem with the human's relationship with the horse.  I will step in and right the relationship and teach the human how to maintain the progress. Full time training with board starts  at $650 a month and part time training with board is $550. All problem horses require fulltime training for the first month  after which a reduction in training will be considered based on the horses progress and the owners preference.

Trailer Loading   

If it's taking longer than a couple of minutes to load you horse into a trailer or you must get in the trailer with the horse to load, then I recommend this training.  The techniques I use builds your horses' confidence about the trailer.  I charge a flat rate and I work with your horse for as long as it takes to get safe, consistent, confident loading.  Then I teach you, the owner, how to have the same results. I also show you the most effective techniques for trailer loading that protect you and your horse. Usually one month of training fixes most of the worst cases with board the total is $650 for a month.   Home page  Join my mailing list

Bomb Proofing Clinics

These clinics give riders a strategy to take the spook out of their horses.  The horses will be exposed top unusual sounds like fire crackers, air compressors and dogs. Visual obstacles like tarps, plastic bags, cars, bridges, water and balls.  The goal is to teach your horse to get calmer when things get scary. The change in confidence will improve your horses performance in every thing he will do. Prices for these clinics very based on location and number of riders. Home page  Join my mailing list

 

Saddle Fitting Clinics

Proper saddle fitting  can make or break your horses performance under saddle.  I will  show riders how to saddle in a way that does not inhibit the movement of the scapula and front leg.  Simple changes  in saddling can mean the difference between a horse that moves on the forehand and one that is balanced.  Prices for these clinics very based on location and number of participants.

Beginning and Advanced Horsemanship Clinics

Learn the technique and skills I use to achieve a language with horses.  Improve your relationship with your horse through better communication.  Learn the psychology of how horses think and use this psychology to  teach your horses advanced maneuvers on the ground.  Then take what you have learned and apply it in the saddle. Prices for these clinics very based on location and number of riders.
