Training Plan Options
Every horse deserves a custom well thought out training plan based on a number of items. It's important to sit down one on one with the owners and discuss a solid training plan to truly set them up for the most success in their future looking ahead.
Colt Starting
When starting a young or green horse, there is a long list of things to work on while in the care of our facility. Every horse gets daily handling, full care stall board, in training 5-6 days with the 7th day for rest, and plenty of turnout. They will fall into our farrier trim schedule depending on what the owner and trainer agree on based on current hoof conditions. Every horse learns collection, flexion, proper side cues, WTC, be able to lunge, as well as drive off longlines. We take horse nutrition, muscular health, conformation, dental history, as well as mental health into consideration when developing a training plan for each horse. Not every horse will advance the same as another. Their age, current mental capabilities, and how they handle pressure is all put into consideration when determining timelines. Well fitting tack, proper bit introductions, and correct conditioning and fitting procedures are important to aid in a long and healthy lifestyle for years to come.
Problematic Horses
Horses, as they grow and add age can have a tendency to develop bad behaviors and traits in lesser trained hands. It's important to handle the issues sooner than later if you are experiencing this. It could be pullback/setback issues, trailering issues, food aggression, poor collection or confusion with bit contact, dull sides to cue contact, bolting/rearing/bucking, etc. It's important to let a skilled horseman or woman handle the issue that knows the proper way to address AND handle the issue from beginning to end.
