All horse’s have an individual learning pace. Some already have a good
understanding and are ready to learn with a long attention span. Others
have shorter attention spans and need a little more understanding and
patience to help them though their learning process.
Training is done in steps. When a horse understands one step he then can
start the next and so on. Again each horse learns at a different pace;
what may take one horse a week to accomplish may take another horse
three weeks. If we tried to rush training on a horse that is not ready
it would only cause confusion and frustration for the horse, with no
enjoyment. When working at the horses pace they enjoy the lessons, want
to learn, please you, and they look forward to the next lesson.
Training sessions can be done at your place, if you have a flat area we
can work or at mine. If at your place I will work with your horse and
teach you each step of his training. Your job will be to work your horse
on what I have shown you through the week. This way you learn to work
your horse, know and understand him and what his learning pace is. If
you choose to bring your horse to my place I want you to come out at
least once a week and learn what your horse knows. That’s so when the
training is finished you know how to work with and understand your
horse. |
Your horse will
learn in a relaxed environment where the training is set at the horse’s
individual learning pace.
Price:
$15 per hour, plus feed if boarding at
my ranch, and plus mileage if working at yours.
