Training is taken in three major steps: groundwork, starting under saddle, and finishing. The goal is a rhythmic, relaxed, confident mount that is happy with his job. At this moment, I will only be taking off farm horses to train. Price is $20 a session or $100 a week (five days consecutively based on weather). Please check back as I will be searching for a temporary place to take horses!
