Individualized
programs are available for a variety of training
needs. We will work with your horse, work with you,
or show you how to work with your horse yourself.
Our specialty is behavioral challenges, including
trailer loading, disrespectful attitudes, ground
control, and other issues, as well as traditional
and non traditional training requests, from help
with lunging, in-saddle techniques, or teaching
your horse unusual but cool behaviors. We also
start horses and work with riders and competitors
in a variety of disciplines. Discounted private
training packages are available and come with an
extensive written training plan for you and your
horse.
Our in-board
program is a comprehensive, whole-horse educational
experience. With most in-board programs, the
training consists of a half hour to an hour of
someone riding your horse every day or so at the
training barn. Where these programs end, ours only
begins. Our program includes extensive handling of
your horse in as many conditions as we can come up
with, according to your horse's needs. We will
evaluate your horse and sit down with you to
determine your needs and together come up with a
comprehensive program to make your horse all he can
be. We try to anticipate all of the activities you
will do with your horse and prepare your horse
accordingly. Depending on your needs, this may
include manners, daily grooming (including tying,
clipping, foot handling, flyspraying), catching,
leading, trailering, hosing, de-spooking, riding at
different locations, exposing your horse to
different environments, as well as addressing your
horse's behavior and performance under saddle,
mounting, water crossing, handling obstacles,
reducing or eliminating resistance,
responding/yielding to the leg (moving forward and
laterally), seat and leg cues, or teaching your
horse tricks such as bowing, laying down, or
performing at liberty.
Clients entering an in-board training program will
receive an extensive written training plan as well
as a training log that details all of the work we
have done with your horse.
Our in-board training program is priced by the
week. While most other trainers have monthly fees
only, we have discovered that not all horses need a
full month's work so we have made weekly in-board
training available starting at $150/week with board
starting at $50/week. Each in-board program comes
with a complimentary Introductory Clinic tuition
for the handler/rider. Discounts are available for
longer-term clients. Horses on in-board training
programs are eligible for equine massage services
at half price while they are in their program.
Spring tune-up special! In-board training is
available through March 1, 2009 at a discounted
rate of $125/week including basic board. Regular
price $200/week). Limited slots available so

Private instruction is available at $60/hr at our
facility and $75 an hour at your barn (travel fees
may apply if you are outside our area; please call
for details). Discounts are available if we can
arrange more than one client at your barn, so tell
your friends! Package plans are available for sets
of 10 or 20 lessons.
