TRAINING

Our training philosophy is based upon the horses ability to reason or sort its way through a situation that we set up. Almost like pruning a vine, we allow the "life" or reactions of the horse to go in the direction we choose. Using this process we can construct a horse's expected responses or habits, and these habits  will eventually override instincts.
     During the training process, we keep adrenaline out of the equation by keeping things simple and consistent.  We believe that horses have no concept of good or evil, therefore none of their behavior merits punishment. We are benevolent and
patient with them, and we feel that it takes several years to produce a well broke all around horse.
