Young Horse Program

Do you need a baby started undersaddle or a tune up for a youngster?

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.) Send your horse to us now and get him back to enjoy early summer!

This program is available to NEW clients only!
