Our goal is to meet all of our clients horse needs. We believe in a gentle hand with all horses. No matter the nature of the horse,we believe that all horses have the ability to learn and strive to want to please people. Troy has over 15 yrs of experience in horsemanship We use slow work focusing on bridle acceptance, reactions need to be responsive as opposed to reactive, and Troy teaches the horse how to move their body through gentle pressure. We also offer tuning up and exercising for those who don't have the time to get their horses back in shape for competition.

Our goal is to establish each individual's learning curve and physical abilities so to maximize their training. Our philosophy is to maintain a healthy balance between arena training and field riding. The horses spend as much time as possible on the trail, exposed to everything nature has to offer. Cattle, dogs, deer and ponds are all an important part of teaching your horse to be confident and trusting.

 

Ground Training
Haltering, tying, leading, lunging, trailer loading, bathing, clipping, standing for farrier. We can address any of these issues according to the owner's needs.

Starting Under Saddle
Colt starting-Horse training: minimum 60 days riding and ground work. Teaching your horse to be respectful, soft and supple , moving your horse forwards backwards and left and right. At the end of their training period, you will have a quiet, confident and respectful partner who has been ridden outside the arena and is ready for your particular interest - be it competition or just a good solid trail horse that is a pleasure to be around. Each horse is an individual and the training program is adapted to suit their needs mentally and physically. The youngsters are started in an arena and out on the trail as soon as possible.

Refining Skills Under Saddle
We work with horses on refreshing their skills, teaching new ones, or addressing problems the owners may be having with their horse. It is a pleasure to ride a horse with "handle". Once a foundation has been laid we can begin refinement. A superb stop, rollbacks and spins are the rewards you get from taking the time to build a relationship with your horse.
