Horses have a memory only second to an elephant. Start them out correctly and they will remember the rest of their lives, and the rest of their training will be a great experience. Break them and they will remember that for the rest of their lives as well.
At Symphony Stables we don’t break the spirit of the horse, we work with it. With the horse’s spirit intact and on our side we create winning partnerships.
By the end of our "Starting Program" the horse/human partnership will be doing the following:
Standing quiet for grooming and picking up feet
Walking quietly in hand
Lunging quietly in proper form
Standing still for mounting
Walking off level headed
Trotting off level headed
Cantering off level headed
Stopping level heading
Bending in both directions at all gaits
The time needed to accomplish the above would depend on the individual horse and their past training / experiences. For more info and pricing with regard to our "Starting Program" please
