Why wouldn't you?

A curious question.  I have been working and training horses for 40 + years and so many times I work with a horse and the owner gets the horse back but doesn't fully understand how to work with a young horse, inexperienced horse or a horse that just needs that extra time before working.

I come to you and help you learn.  I teach you techniques and guide you through the steps.

Ground work, lunging, ground driving, halter training, showmanship, trailer loading and most of all...I help you be patient :)

You will learn a process.  Training a horse is in stages.  Skipping steps only causes problems later on, so we might as well do it right the first time.  It doesn't happen over night and why should it. 

It is an art, an understanding of both the horse and yourself.  You will be amazed at things you just never really knew or you just took for granted.

I usually visit 1 - 3 times a week depending on your needs.  It saves you so much on training costs, transporting costs and you gain such a great sense of satisfaction

Do you have a horse that hasn't been ridden in a while and you need him/her back in the swing of things?

I can put quality time on your horse to bring him/her back up to where you want them to be.  I ride English and Western.  I do Dressage, Hunter, Equitation, Pleasure and Trail.  I, also, have done my share of Gymkhana as well.  I have always tried to be as versatile as any given horse can be :)

~*~ HORSE TRIVIA ~*~

 

DID YOU KNOW...

  1. The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days of yore when the engines were pulled by horses.  The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases. 

  2. If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes. 

  3. Where did the expression "to get one's goat" originate?  Owners of high strung race horses would place a goat with them to help them calm down. Unscrupulous people steal the horse's goat *friend* in order to upset the horse so it would not race well. 

  4. Draft horses are the strongest animals in the world next to the elephant. 

  5. There are over 300 different breeds of horses and ponies around the world. 

  6. That the practice of mounting a horse from the left side began in ancient Greece.  Warriors always carried their weapons on their left side, which made mounting on the right side impossible.  

  7. Horses produce approximately 10 gallons of saliva a day.
