Everything we do with a horse requires a relationship based on leadership and trust.  Every horse, like every human, is unique.  We discover who your horse is, what their strengths are and where they struggle.  We learn exactly what to help them with and precisely how to support them.  In doing so we eliminate any potential snags before they have the opportunity to develop.

Just like a young human, we can help shape the thoughts of a young horse.  We can develop their enthusiasm, their ability to try and experience success, their desire to be with and follow you.  We can show them alternatives to fear and anxiety so you'll not have to deal with that in the future.  Thus, our eventual transition to riding can be seamless, as our horses will have an understanding of everything they need to know by the time you swing a leg over for the first time.
