Our program gently gains results. Start the right way, the gentle way. We produce solid all around horses everyone will enjoy. A safe, healthy environment, that guarantees results.

Step one: controlling movement (getting the feet to move / inside turns / outside turns)

Step two: “pardner’n-up”

Step three: ground work (circle, forward, back, left and right) feel of the lead rope

Step four: sacking out

Step five: refined ground work (learning to give to the bit, ground driving, etc…)

Step six: saddle-up

Step seven: prepare to ride

Step eight:  first ride

Step nine: move forward

Step ten: engage/disengage the hindquarters

Step eleven: discovery (tarp, logs, bridges, etc.)

Step twelve: riding control (basic turns, stop, back, walk, trot, and loop)

Step thirteen: learn to stand tied

Step fourteen: owner training

The above outlines our basic program.  As every horse is different we modify the program to best suit each individual horse and each owner’s objective.
