Training

Pin It

Training is available for green horse starting as well as horses with issues/challenges.

Our trainers specialize in 'real life' experiences for your horse. Horses are exposed to the beach, trails, the arena, and even highway riding right beside traffic if that is what you desire! Horses are exposed to wildlife, cattle, dogs, elk, deer, road traffic, kites, humans at the beach, the occasional 4-wheeler, seals, dead sea life, birds, and other stimulating sights up on the timber roads, in the arena, and at the local beaches.

A totally green horse will be ponied to and/or at these places until they are mentally able to handle being ridden there. We start colts and take in horses that are already trained to ride, but need a refresher, and also retrain horses with issues or special training challenges.

RATES

$550 per month for green horses six years of age and under (With a 90-day minimum).

$450 for refreshers (if not buckers) no minimum.

$750 per month for retraining horses with issues or special training challenges. (With a 60-day minimum)

$750 for untrained horses over six years of age. (With a 90-day minimum)

*Call for dates of availability and reservations for training*
