Specializing in Hunter Under Saddle and Western Pleasure, we emphasize excellent ground manners, mental and physical balance, and a solid foundation that lasts—in and out of the show ring.

However, please note that certain issues and training may have minimum requirements to ensure your safety and maintain our reputation.
Behavior Training
We can help you with multiple behavioral problems, such as trailer loading. Our approach involves identifying the root cause and guiding you through the correction process. If necessary, we may be able to come to your location for an extra charge.
***Lifetime Training Guarantee***
Our program offers a lifetime guarantee on all training. If you encounter any issues, please contact us immediately before it becomes an engrained habit. If the horse needs further training after evaluation, we will provide it at no extra, and the owner will only be responsible boarding expenses.
Personalized Coaching With Training
Our training services go beyond simply working with your horse—we’re committed to developing both horse and rider as a team. We ensure you fully understand what your horse has learned and how to maintain consistent results at home. One of the core elements that sets us apart is our emphasis on correct collection and biomechanics, achieved without shortcuts or training crutches. We prioritize softness, balance, and willing responsiveness through proper foundational work. Additionally, impeccable ground manners are a cornerstone of our program, creating respectful, confident horses from the ground up. Clients often tell us they’ve learned more in one lesson with us than in several with other trainers, thanks to our personalized, results-driven approach.
