Training
Training with Stephanie Smith
(All of the horses in the pictures below came to me with either no training or very little training u/s)
Horses can come for re-training or training from the ground up or anywhere in between!
My philosophy behind training a horse is that communication counts!! You must be able to understand your horse, and relay your thoughts and requests to the horse in a manner in which he understands. A horse should be able to work, while relaxed and responsive.
I like to be able to control every part of the horse while on the ground as I would need to control under saddle (everything)! I provide a lot of ground work and provide a very strong foundation for a well rounded riding horse (for show or pleasure riding)!
Issues will be worked with-- and the horse will be taken back to the basics to fix the issue!
Training per month is $300 on top of any board option you choose!
Owner is responsible for the cost of insurance, veterinarian care and farrier work!
Here are some video clips of the horse in the above picture (CG Cantata) two weeks into training at a coming 7 year old. There is also two new videos at the end 3 weeks down the way.
