REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Groundwork is the key to developing the connection you'll need under saddle in the years to come and will teach your baby to trust you when he's insecure.

All horses shown below are trainers that have been in my training program for anywhere from 30 to 90 days.

MY TRAINING PROGRAM CONSISTS OF:
IMPRINTING, LEADING PROPERLY, BACKING PROPERLY, TYING, CROSS-TYING, BLANKETING, PICKING UP ALL FOUR FEET WITH JUST A TOUCH, CLIPPING (INC. EARS AND BODY), GIVING LEFT/RIGHT, HEAD DOWN, WALKING ON A TARP, CARRYING A TARP, CROSSING WATER, CROSSING LOGS, MOVING HIP/SHOULDER OVER,
STEPPING OVER ANYTHING,  ALLOWING SCARY THINGS TO BE THROWN ALL AROUND, SETTING UP FOR HALTER, TROTTING OFF ON COMMAND, LUNGING AT WALK AND TROT, CHANGING DIRECTIONS, STOPPING.
THIS IS A BASIC OUTLINE. THERE IS TOO MUCH TO LIST IT ALL.

RIDERS: ALL THE ABOVE TRAINING IS DONE FIRST AS A REFRESHER OR TAUGHT IF THE HORSE DOES NOT KNOW IT .
WE START ANY HORSE OVER TWO YEARS OLD TO WALK, TROT, CANTER, SIDEPASS, FOREHAND TURNS, HAUNCH TURNS, CROSS WATER,  BRIDGES, TRAIL READY.

I HAVE AN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR ARENA, SO WE CAN TRAIN ALL YEAR LONG.

WE TAKE PHOTOS THE ENTIRE TIME YOUR HORSE IS HERE FOR TRAINING, SO YOU CAN HAVE A CD OF HIS TRAINING.

OWNERS ARE URGED TO SPEND AT LEAST ONE HOUR A WEEK WITH ME AND THEIR HORSE LEARNING WHAT I TAUGHT THE HORSE THE PREVIOUS WEEK.  THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THIS, IT IS INCLUDED IN THE TRAINING FEE.

I DO LIVE IN OREGON SO, I AM READY FOR RAIN

COTTON SAYS,

"I'M NOT AFRAID OF THIS TARP".

EVERY HORSE LEARNS TO DRINK OUT OF THE HOSE AND ENDS UP LOVING IT

EVERYONE LEARNS TO GO THROUGH WATER, OVER ROCKS AND LOGS

BEFORE

AFTER

THIS TRULY IS THE SAME COLT!

YEE! HAA! I'M READY TO GO!
