Two-Year Old Training

We begin training under saddle at two years of age with more ground work and progress to riding in larger and more challenging arenas, leading ultimately to the trail. Horses trained here are easy to mount and are trail-wise. We expose them to "horse-eating" rocks, birds, dogs, traffic and other horse spooks. We train them to load and ride in trailers. Our horses are taught to "move off the rider's leg" and to be responsive to the rider's hands. We prepare our young horses for families , trail riding and flat-shod show performance.
