Young Horse
Program
Do you need a baby
started undersaddle or a tune up for a youngster?
We
are now offering jumping as part of our young horse program!
One of the biggest
problems in the United States is the lack of trainers who are able to
start young horses correctly. This issue has been highlighted in equine
magazines and via the various breed societies. Our program starts with
the basics of introducing the bridle and saddle until the rider is able
to work with the horse independently. Upon completion of the program,
the horses are able to walk, trot, canter forward to the bit, ability to
lengthen and shorten stride, start of lateral work, free jumping, and
hacking in the field and woods. We specialize in preparing young
warmbloods and recently mares and stallions for inspections and the
performance tests. We help build the confidence of the horse and rider
so they will continue down the training road to success.
We
also have a training program to develop the young horses to higher
levels. Barbra specializes in creating training programs based upon the
horse and rider's individual needs.
Our traditional methods of starting
young horses under saddle lead to happier horses and better long term
results. Whether you need your horse started for dressage, eventing or
pleasure riding a proper foundation in training is required that
progresses at your horses individual learning rate. We measure success
by our clients' abilities to take the young horse home and continue
training towards their goals.
Our training style is flexible
enough to use the methods that are best to achieve the desired goal for
each individual. We
have several different "styles" of training (natural
horsemanship and traditional German dressage) and therefore have a large
repertoire that has helped many horses and riders in many different
situations.
The cost is $750/month which
includes board and 2 to 4 days of training per week depending on the age
and progress of the horse. It does not include the extra fees for
special feed, holding for the vet or farrier, blanket or boot changing,
worming, etc. The owner is responsible for maintaining a healthy horse
while it is in the program.
A minimum of 60 days (90 days is required for
horses under 4 years old or those not quite saddle broke) Send your horse to us now and get him back
to enjoy this spring!
