Horse and Rider Training

St. Cloud, MN

I put emphasis on helping the rider achieve a wonderful and long-lasting partnership with their horse through better training and instruction. I put a solid foundation on all horses using calm techniques, which makes for a safer, more willing horse in the end. All breeds welcome, but I do specialize in gaited breeds. References and training history are available upon request.

If you answered 'yes' to any of the above questions, I can help you and your horse!
All horses are taught to soften up their whole bodies, not just the face or neck, in response to pressure, through consistency and releasing the pressure as soon as they give. They are also taught consistency of gait, rating of speed, turning, lifting their shoulders and moving over while maintaining forward motion, how to collect and carry themselves while in motion, and stopping and backing off of the seat. The goal is to get a horse more calm mentally, thus making for a safer, more reliable, willing, and responsive partner. I also work with the rider to help them understand the horse's training, and learn to work with the horse.
I work the horse 4-5 days a week, about an hour of actual training time per session. I adjust the time depending on the horse
