What's the difference between a well-broke horse and a well-trained horse? A lot, we think. A well-broke horse is child-safe; they spook in place and cross obstacles. But a well-trained horse offers more. This finished horse yields to leg pressure, has a soft mouth, pivots and performs lead changes.

It's important, we believe, to have both a well-broke and a well-trained horse. So our training program teaches horses to be safe and willing. While flexible to your goals, we focus on developing equine responsiveness.

And we'll work with you as well. We can teach you how to understand what your horse tells you and how to maintain your horse's willingness and respect.

We offer various training:
*Colt starting
*Riding instruction
*Show horse training and tune-ups
*Problem solving
