Creating winning partnerships where the horse comes first and foremost

RETRAINING HORSES

Probably one of the most challenging aspects of horse training is that of retraining horses that have developed dangerous/bad habits.  In order to help a horse and handler  work through the “problems”, a lot of time, patience, understanding and knowledge is required.

 

The good news  is that a lot of the so called “problem horses” are really some of the most intelligent horses with the most potential.   When we finally get the horses to realize that we know their language and how to use it, they will often come around and become great partners.   Horses will forgive and develop tolerance if we are willing to handle them properly. 

One of the most important steps in re

training a horse is to understand what may have been causing the unwanted behaviour.  In knowing the cause we can help the owner remedy the situation through retraining  and then develop a level of forgiveness in the horse.

 

Our “Retraining Program” will help you with some of the following problems:

· Not willing to stand still in the cross ties

· Not willing to pick up feet

· Not able to lead safely

· Pushiness

· Not able to lunge

· Does not want to take the bit

· Will not stand still for mounting

· Not willing to go level headed under saddle

· Not willing to bend under saddle

· Not willing to stop, or not willing to go

· Bucking

· Rearing

· Biting, kicking

 

The time required to work with a horse could be difficult to determine and will depend on the horse and the circumstances related to the issue.  Please contact us for pricing and information with regards to working with the issues mentioned above.
