Young Horse Starting Program

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. Not every horse, will respond to the same training. 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 a minimum of 60 days (90 days is required for horses under 4 years old.) Send your horse to camp now and get him back to enjoy early spring!
