GB Equestrian is now taking in training horses at our facility in Macclesfield NC!
What I do:
Do you have a horse who needs to be tuned up after having time off? Or maybe you have a green horse that needs to be brought to the next level? Or a baby that needs to be started? Or even an older horse whoâs never been ridden? Trail riding miles? Foundation work? Behavior issues? If so, feel free to give me a call! I specialize is foundation training and problem solving. I focus on building a solid relationship with each horse and using that relationship to fix issues, teach new behavior and achieve goals.
How I train:
I don't focus on a specific discipline, but a specific level of willingness, softness, and confidence. We all know that riding is a team sport whether you compete in english or western, trail ride, or just mess around in the ring. We all want and need a horse that understands us and willingly and respectfully does what we ask and goes where we want. So, if you can get that level of understanding with your horse then you will be much more likely to excel in whatever style of riding you choose. I focus just as much on a horses mental strength as I do their physical strength. Training always should begin on the ground, that is where the communication and relationship begins. Odds are if you have a bad relationship on the ground climbing onto your horses back isnât going to go as well as it could or should. Foundation is everything! I always make sure my horses are prepared before moving to the next step, I want them calm, confident, responsive, and respectful. When you take the time it takes, it takes less time.
What to expect:
Horses that are in training with me will go through extensive ground and under saddle work both on the trail and in the ring, they will learn to ride alone as well as in a group and do it all calmly and respectfully. I focus a lot on âlooseningâ their whole body and teaching them to be responsive to all cues as well as loosening their âbrainâ and getting them engaged in what you are asking.
Cost:
Problem solving/Colt Starting: $600 a month
Tune ups/restart: $500 a month
Owner supplies, hay, grain and sawdust. Price includes stall and field and free lessons once a week, although I encourage owners to come and watch me work as much as possible. I believe that owners should be involved in as much of the training process as the horse. After all, you are the one working with the horse once they go home!
Let me know if you would be interested in sending your horse to me for training or taking lessons on either my horse or your own! I have tons of references!
Trailering available for extra fee.
