TRAINING
Taking Your Horse to the Next Level
When training horses, I strive to find where each horse excels and create the best version of themselves.
​
Using equine behavior, psychology, and natural methods anyone can develop a partnership with their horse.

Clover - 30 days
Ground Manners
When I first met Clover, she tended to be impatient and pushy. I knew when I met her that she was smart because she would push around her owner who was unsure of when to discipline Clover. Clover's owner decided to do 30 training days with a heavy emphasis on ground manners as she was meant for her 9-year-old daughter to do trail riding and possibly E-Team.
After 30 days of training, Clover no longer pawed and would stand quietly for as long as I asked, no longer spooked at random objects, and even developed a cue for eating grass.
She had done so well that I even took our last few sessions getting her simple riding cues under saddle.
The goal under saddle was to not blow through turns, balance on a circle, woah, and a backup cue without pulling on her.
Regretfully - I do not have more videos of our earlier training sessions for comparison, but please enjoy the progress that I captured!
Ellcie- Ongoing
Restart
Ellcie is a horse at the Ranch I primarily visit. I saw a lot of potential in her and the barn owner was not completely happy with her behavior. She typically is pushy and spooky.
Currently, we are still progressing on the consistency of preventing pushy behavior, but she is no longer being obnoxious on the ground.
We've moved on to under saddle training in which she is completely quiet at the mounting block, patient after mounting, and listens extremely well under saddle.
The goal is to make her less reactive to typically spook factors such as wild animals and high winds, and hopefully see her become a great athlete for riders.
The most recent video I have she is now voluntarily staying a circle-free lunging!
We've been taking her out to the arena solo and off the lead to work on her self-confidence and look to her handler for answers. Instead of us as handlers pushing for her attention in high-stress situations.
We've got her restarted under saddle and are taking it slow to make positive associations with riding.
