12 Week Program

The 12 week program is designed for:
*Colts *Green Horses *Restarting horses with training problems.
- Beginning with building connection on the ground, key groundwork exercises and ponying exercises with a careful consideration given to integrating with a lower amount of stress at the beginning and gradually building workload.
- All horses learn to tie patiently, pick up their feet, bathe, load in the trailer, and have stall manners.
- They also learn to be quiet by themselves and with others, riding outside of the arena, hauling out to nearby locations for trail practice, obstacles, and larger arenas/facilities.
​-The owner receives one on one instruction at the end of this program with the option of more and a lengthened stay if the need is there.

 Foundation Program
*The foundation to establishing a safe and enjoyable partnership with your horse*

•  This is dedicated to teaching your horse the entire Foundation from groundwork and riding exercises designed to earn your horse’s trust and respect.
• The Foundation Program is for those who are serious about getting results. A truly broke horse needs equal doses of long rides, wet saddle pads and concentrated training.
• We dedicate 2 hours a day, 5 - 6 days a week to each training horse in order for them to be safe and respectful partners.
• Your horse will learn:
  • essential groundwork exercises,
  • be ridden in the arena,
  • to be ridden on the trail, with or without other horses,
  • and worked extensively over an obstacle course.

- By the end of their training, your horse will have a great foundation in place for you to build off of and go on to excel in the discipline of your choice.

So, you don’t ever have to worry about not being in the loop about what’s going on with him. You would also receive a private lesson dedicated to you and your horse at the end of his training, free of charge.
