Ground Training
I have to develop awareness within myself so that i can have it with my horse later. Discipline, trust, tolerance and respect needs to be accomplished before I get on their back. 80% of training is getting in the horses mind.
Colt Starting
" A foundation isn't anything on a Horse; it’s everything" (Don Dodge).
I follow some of the best techniques from top trainers when starting a young horse. This teaches them that humans are trustworthy. Proper groundwork training prepares the horse for a smooth transition into saddle work.
Horse Behavior Training
Fearful or Disrespectful Behavior
Kicking, biting, bucking, rearing, trailer issues, spooking, all these problems come from a lack of training. I apply a number of exercises to get the horse in the right mind set. Then i will spend time with the owner so i can transfer the knowledge so they can gain their horse's respect. The ultimate goal is a respectful relationship between the horse and the rider.
Intermediate Exercises Training:
This is a perfect option for horse owners who are ready to take their horsemanship to a higher level. This set of services involves working with you and your horse as a team. We will work towards vertical flexion at a walk, vertical flexion at a trot, side-pass from the standstill on the fence, shoulder in/shoulder out, yield the hindquarters and bring the front end through, suppling exercises, steering exercises, yield and bend, hand and feet coordination, draw to a stop and give vertical, post and circle, and much more!
Training Information
During training horses are being worked minimum 5 days a week. Depending on the horse, some may be worked twice a day. I usually like to spend from 1 to 1.5 hours per session. Once the horse is conditioned and under control, I take them out on trails and riding time increases to 1 to 3 hours sometimes more. I encourage horse owners to get involved during training so we can do a knowledge transfer and help you gain respect and confidence throughout the process. Horses will also be exposed to obstacles and water. Once we have the horse using the thinking side of the brain, soft and supple, I encourage the owners to go out with me on trails. My ultimate goals are to create safe, willing horses as well as educate people on proper horsemanship.
