 What do I get in a month's training?

TRAINING: 22-25 rides per month if ground work is completed.
• We will build a young horse's foundation or improve an older horse's foundation
• Exercises: Circles, Flexes and Counter Flexes, Half pass, lead changes to advanced: Slide, 

   stop and turn around: Travel on a light rein, soft in the face, responsive, flexible and broke 

   at the poll.
• Some arena work: Plenty of outside riding, some rough terrain
• Cows, if requested
• Shoeing training - will be able to pick up their feet
• In the event a horse may be mean about picking up his feet, we may take longer on this issue.
• Trailer - Horse will load
• Rider will be able to lunge their horse on the end of the bridle reins.
• Horse will learn to stand quietly - for rider to mount and dismount

 

  Horse will experience rough terrain - will help him become handy and calm,  through rocks, boulders, etc. Horse will travel relaxed - he will get miles, experience, exposure to livestock, traveling through the brush, dogs and critters and ditches. He will be exposed to swinging a rope. We  really want to know from the customer what he or she wants and will  individually customize the training. For instance, if a customer wants a rope  horse, we will accentuate swinging ropes and exposure to cattle.

 We will accept a horse for a 30 day training period, but 90 days are usually best to build a firm foundation.
