best, practical horse trainers. No gimmicks, no tricks - solutions you can understand and use on your own!

Currently our Clinic format is completely flexible and unrestricted so as to make this opportunity available to as many

horses and owners who need it. We WILL improve your horsemanship skills, equitation skills and or IMPROVE your or

your horse's confidence or behavioral issue! No where else will you find a Satisfaction Guaranty by a horse trainer let

alone a Clinician! If you're not satisfied with your experience at our facility or we don't address and begin to resolve your

desired issue with some significant, visible level of improvement - WE WILL REFUND 50% OF YOUR CLINIC FEE or allow

you and the same horse to repeat the clinic one time in the future at no charge.*

Each Clinic involves the supervised use of our training facility and techniques.

Email with your concern, idea or issue and we will do our best to respond right away!

Aahhh - first time blanketing - patience, technique and confidence are ALL critical! Miss one and 'Houston, we have a problem'.

We'll help quiet your pony the way you

would like it!

We know how to make and trai

BOMBPROOF ponies!

Common issues, activities, techniques and tools used AT EVERY CLINIC REGARDLESS of mix of horses or owners:

 

       - PLUS any other issue that may arise or that may exist!

Body language: Disrespectful horse. Communicate with the horse in a language he understands, his not ours.

Mouthy, biting behavior: we 'block' only, NO striking the horse! Work softly, methodically, consistently WITH the horse and he or she WILL respond appropriately.

Horse starting: proper position,

proper body language!

'Soft Touch' Training works!

This retired TB race horse USED TO: charge, drag you on the lead rope, rear & strike; 60 days later...he's a nice trail horse!

Behavioral issues when starting young horses are very common. However, after applying our 'Soft Touch' Training Program, any horse can be set up for a successful long term career!

First moment with a saddle - 3yr old. We start 'em all softly & gently. If they buck then we did something wrong, not the horse!
