Training     

• My goal as a trainer is to make horses the safest they can possibly be so they are ready to be used in any discipline desired by their owner.   I focus a lot on desensitizing when starting young horses.  It is so important to teach horses not to be afraid of things they might encounter on a trail or anywhere they are ridden.  I want very safe horses that won't shy from every little thing they see when I’m riding.  I get them used to flags, tarps, plastic, different things touching their bodies, dragging beside them and coming at them.  I have an obstacle course set up in the woods where I take them over bridges, teetering bridges, boxes of cans, over tarps and mattresses.  I also like to get them used to vehicles, ATV’s and gunfire. 

  I teach every horse to respect my space when leading.  I also focus a lot on flexing, bending, collection and making a soft and supple horse. I teach them to turn on their hind and front ends. Neck reining, side passing, ground tying and trailer loading are other things I work on in my training program. 

  I have certain things I hope to have every horse doing at the end of their training.  Every horse is different and how far each horse gets in their time with me, depends on the horse and its learning ability.  Horses are like people; they all learn differently and at different speeds.  Some catch on faster than others.  My job is to treat each horse as an individual and train according to how the horse learns best.           ~Amanda
