Our training methods are based on Natural Horsemanship principles,
respect, trust, willingness to try and reward.
No matter if your horse is green or well-trained, at some point you may
need help, because your progress is stagnant or going downhill. In most
cases we can address this during lessons as well.
Bottom line; We don't use band-aids to cover up a symptom, but find
and fix the roots of any underlaying problem or gaps in your horses
fundamental training. Then we'll teach you to maintain it and further
progress within your choice of riding discipline, be it competitive or
recreational.
Reining & performance:
Any horse, green or seasoned, will improve from our program which is
based on a strong foundation and series of exercises to improve
performance. From softness in the bridle, responsive cues and body
control to lateral movement, collection and lead changes. If you are as
passionate about reining as we are, we can develop this into rollbacks,
spins and sliding stops or further refinement in other riding
disciplines.
