Lessons, Colt Starting, Problem Solving, and Foundation Training for the Performance Horse
"I start each horse on the ground so that I can see what the horse needs. We then begin to build a relationship of trust through communication that makes sense to the horse. Once the horse understands the ground work, we advance the communication through our riding excercises. The horse becomes a willing and dependable partner that you will enjoy being around. Bad habits like rearing, bucking, bolting, biting, kicking, etc. will disappear as the relationship of respect, and trust continues to build.
Recommended amount of training for most horses is at least 2 months or longer depending on your goals".
