Training Info
We use a gentle approach to training horse. We are as firm as nessacery but light as possible when training horses. The objective of training should be to end up with a safe,calm dependable horse that will willingly do what we ask it to do, when we ask it to do it. I believe in establishing a solid foundation on a horse. Like the foundation under a house, solid and correct reining is essential to avoiding riding problems and helps in solving difficulties should they arise. A solid foundation includes softness in all movements of a horse. We start horses from the ground up. Ground training and round pen work prepares a horse for work under saddle by teaching them to relax and to respond when pressure is applied. The result is a horse that is a willing partner.
Colt Starting
Designed to build trust and confidence in the horse, the colt-starting program will allow the horse to overcome the natural flight instinct and to view humans as leaders that can be trusted. The horse will be exposed to the basics of becoming a riding horse and helped to accept these things in as stress free a manner as possible.The horse will develop a foundation of skills that enables him to be comfortable in the human world. We work with horses on the ground with ground work and then the rest is mounted work with working on reining and cues. Some horses may get more riding or less riding depending on how quickly they advance. We teach horses to be soft and respond to pressure on the ground before mounting.
We ususally pony horses from another horse to get him used to the environment before riding them out. Some times it is just safer to have help. We work as a team when we introduce the rider for the first time. The first couple rides, many times are with one of us in the center repeating the commands that the horse has learn on the lounge line as the rider applies the signals. Horses then will be rode in the arena then and we take horses on trail rides, through streams, up hills, down hills and everywhere. We try to expose horses to as much as possible.
