We are no longer offering
training. My wife Tammy has suffered a severe stroke and I am
wholly dedicated to her recovery and have no time to train horses.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
We believe in a light hand. What you can achieve with a horse who
works with you as a partner, rather than out of fear, is amazing.
From the very beginning we teach our horses to move off the feel of
the rider, rather than simply pulling on their mouth's. The goal is
to be able to ride with as little use of reins as possible. It's a
gratifying feeling to be able to sit, say "WHOA! ", and have your
horse stop for you. Or, to turn with leg, rather than rein
pressure.

.
Wouldn't it be frustrating and even dangerous if
every time you stopped your car you had to yank on the steering
wheel and then the hood flew up? That's what it's like when trying
to control our horses by yanking on their mouths, causing their
head to go up. It's not that reins aren't necessary, but the less
you use them and the lighter the hand is with them, the better. The
result of this type of training is a "low headed", relaxed horse,
willing to try for you, without fear.
