Training


Michelle and Bella

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.

"..I have found Michelle to be a very talented and able trainer as well as an honest and forthright person in every way. I highly recommend Michelle for your training needs."
--Trainer Ken McNabb, RFD TV

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.
