Training is only part of the picture. I also want every horse in my care to be comfortable and well taken care of throughout their stay.

Horses stay in a stall with an attached run, giving them room to move around freely. They have 24/7 access to fresh water and alfalfa provided in half-bale Hay Chix nets, allowing them to have hay available around the clock. A salt block is also provided for every horse.

Stalls and runs are cleaned twice daily, and I personally take care of every horse staying with me. This allows me to keep a close eye on each horse’s eating, drinking, behavior, and overall condition.

Horses are worked consistently throughout the week with one scheduled day off to rest and recover.

There’s also not much you need to bring when dropping your horse off. Hay, grain, and tack do not need to be provided. If your horse is currently on supplements, I’m happy to continue feeding them as long as you provide the supplements.

While your horse is here to learn, their everyday care and well-being are just as important as their progress in training.

Before Sending Your Horse to Training

A little preparation before your horse arrives can help me get the most out of their time in training!

Before coming to me, I ask that horses have:
• A recent Coggins and health certificate
• Recently trimmed feet or be appropriately shod
• Good overall body condition
• Any relevant health, injury, soundness, or training history shared with me

I also highly recommend having vaccinations up to date and having their teeth checked, especially when sending a young horse for c**t starting. Making sure they’re comfortable before introducing a bit and increasing their workload can prevent unnecessary issues during training.

When it comes to weight, I’d rather have a horse arrive carrying a little too much than not enough. Most horses will have a significant increase in activity while in training and may naturally lose some weight as their workload increases.

Having these things taken care of beforehand allows me to focus their time here on what you’re sending your horse for: training, learning, and building a solid foundation.

Stetson is always happy to grab a drink after a ride!

These hot summer days mean I pay extra attention to keeping my horses hydrated. Along with unlimited fresh water, I always make sure they have access to a salt block, and I offer electrolytes when needed, especially after they’re working and sweating.

Little things like encouraging them to drink after a ride can go a long way. Staying ahead of dehydration is much easier than trying to catch up afterward
