Due to popular demand and past experience, we have condensed our Program into a half day, 4 hour intensive

session to eliminate downtime, lunch, breaks, etc and enable us to better focus on and serve the riders & horses.

We are also limiting the number of riders to only 4 to ensure your experience is as productive as possible. We

are also only requiring a minimum of 2 riders (maximum 4) to schedule a clinic so get a couple friends and give us a call.

WE GUARANTY YOUR SATISFACTION* - no one else does that.

Cross training and versatility means

ALL our horses: show, trail, jump,

Confidence Course & can be around

ALL members of your family!

Teresa's 20 years as a Professional rider, Horse Trainer and Riding Instructor have made her eminently

qualified in multi-discipline riding and training, behavior modification, confidence building in both horse

& rider as well as colt starting, trail introduction, bombproofing your horse and family horse versatility

training. With advanced Professional CERTIFICATIONS in multiple national & international organizations, 

NO ONE else in Southern California carries such credentials, skills, abilities and proven success.

Take advantage of these unique opportunities for condensed, intense training with one of America's

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 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 use of all of our training facility and techniques.

Email with your concern, idea or issue and we will do our best to respond with 48 hours!

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

Mouthy, biting behavior: we 'block' only, NO striking the horse!

Horse starting: proper position,

proper body language!

This horse USED TO: charge, drag you on the lead rope, rear & strike.

After round pen techniques, behavior modification & body language & respect issues - he's now a LOVER!

First moment with a saddle - 3yr old. We start 'em all softly & gently. If they buck then we did something wrong!
