Training Information

Our Mission

We strive to produce well rounded, well prepared horses. We train horses to be respectful, useful, and good minded members of society. Even if horses are coming in to be trained in one area, they will experience many other aspects and disciplines to widen their perspective and broaden their resume. All horses that train with us will be rode in the arena and outside in the hills and sandwash. Among a large list of tasks they will learn to stand tied, they will see children & cattle, they will be ridden out alone, and they will practice patience.

Requirements for Training

-Horses must be UNDER 4 YEARS OF AGE if they are in training to be started under saddle. (Tune ups and halter breaking exempt)

-Horses must be healthy to the owners knowledge and have had no sickness or lameness issues 30 days prior to arriving.

-If horses have been previously started or messed with, dangerous behavioral problems must be discussed during scheduling.

-A pre training vet check, farrier visit, and dental float/ wolf teeth extraction is highly recommended prior to arrival.

-A training, emergency, liability, and payment contract must be signed during drop off. 

WE DO NOT ACCEPT 

Arabians, any gaited horses, mustangs, ponies or mini horses, known "flippers", horses 5 and older to be "fixed" from dangerous behavior or started under saddle, horses that have been to more than 3 trainers in under a year. This may also include draft/ half draft horses depending on situation.

Owner Interaction

We encourage our owners to visit their horse in training every 30 days. Our ultimate goal is for a horse that YOU can ride and enjoy!

Owners are also encouraged to bring other personal horses to ride with us up the sand wash, in the arena, or in the round pen if desired. Interaction while your horse is in training is not required if not desired.

Real Life Experiences

We believe that horses need arena work but real life interaction as well. With 25,000 acres of BLM and a 30 mile sand wash out our backdoor we have the country! We have real life ranching opportunities that horses have the chance to experience while in training with us. This can include, shipping, doctoring, hunting, packing, and much more valuable experience that working horses need.
