Training from the start to be safe...
Most of us simply want our horses to be respectful and obedient. When we ask them to go, they go, when we ask them to stop, they stop ~ no questions asked, no problems. I don’t want my horse to step on my toes, knock me over with his head or refuse to get on the trailer. I want him to stand still while I saddle him and when I mount. In our opinion a respectful, obedient horse is a safe horse.
To give you an analogy of exactly “what type” of training we teach in my 30 day program, I would say that I teach your horse how to be a good citizen. Very similar to our own “basic” education Kindergarten through twelfth grade. Just like we learned how to function socially at school, raise our hand to speak, stand in line quietly, respect ourselves and others, I teach the horse how to be respectful and obedient. We learned the basics of reading, writing and math, I teach the horse the basics too, such as walk, trot and canter on a loose rein, load in the trailer, stand quietly while tied, ride safely in a group of horses and negotiate obstacles. Basic respect and control, that is what we all need from our horses in order to stay safe, on the ground and in the saddle.
Once a horse has the basics, like us graduating high school, then we can take that horse to “college” so to speak. Now we can teach the horse reining, cutting, dressage, jumping and extensive trail riding with the confidence that the horse has a solid foundation, in other words, he’s graduated high school.
Using structured exercises and techniques, We can help you and your horse create a harmonious, respectful and trusting relationship that allows you to enjoy every minute you share with your equine partner.

Rocky Acres Horse Training
Whether it's a colt that has never been ridden, or a horse that displays problem behavior, we establish basic rules on the ground first.
Then provide the fundamental basics that works for all kinds of
horses and every discipline!
Once under saddle, our horses are exposed to a wide variety of situations. We ride in the round pen, out on the rugged, beautiful Bureau of Land Management trails just behind us.
Riding Lessons We offer riding lessons on your horse or ours.
Horse Training We offer colt starting to behavioral problems
We require a $500 deposit when a horse comes into training that will go toward the last month of training when we do 60 days or more depending on the horse and specific needs. In most cases we take horses in for a minimum of two months of training. We require a minimum of 3 months if the horse is untouchable, barely handle able or a stallion and you want them started under saddle. If you just want to get one gentled or have some groundwork done, or an evaluation on an already broke horse we would do just a month.
Once the horse is in they can stay for as long as they need or as long as the owner wants. The longer we have them the more we can teach them and we try to train for what the owner wants. We occasionally have a waiting list and can sometimes out 2 to 4 months at any given time and sometimes longer. If you think you would like to bring your horse in or get on our waiting list please give me your name, number and a short description of your horse and what you would like accomplished.

The purpose of my "BLOG" is to make a connection with you. I can connect with people all over the world, thanks to the computer, and we can explore and correspond with one another on the experiences we’re having with our horses in our life! This blog is a way, to educate, to raise consciousness, and to use philosophical viewpoints that will lead to a better relationship with horses; for training, partnering, and performance."CLICK BLOG TO VISIT"
The blog is also here to help support interested people and my students who are learning my methods. Feel free to ask questions on horse behavior, pecking order, leadership, self-realization, meditation, and the training and performance of horses. I may answer your question, or I may choose it for a blog topic for a later date. Of course, I can’t answer everyone’s questions, but I will read all your comments and I will respond to several questions on each blog.I look forward to dialoging on the subject of what creates a better connection with a horse. Enjoy! |
