Bio

Even though horses can be a lot of fun I know they are costly, and if not handled properly, dangerous. Each horse has its own personality and should be treated accordingly. Before I start working with a horse I try to learn more about the rider. I need to know what the owner's main goal is/or what the main problem is the horse is having. Sometimes, after talking to someone we learn that the horse is not the problem after all. To save time and money I also try to ask questions to learn more about the horse's characteristics. This helps me get an idea on how to approach the horse. Asking the owner/rider questions also helps me give an estimate on how much time I will need to spend with your horse. No one knows the horse better then the rider/owner. After listening to you about your horse, I will also be able to give an estimate on my training fees. Again, horses are different so my rates differ to fit each horse. I will give a "low side" and a "high side" dollar amount. I do not feel someone with a horse that is eager to learn, or easy to work with should be charged the same as someone with a horse that is a little more stubborn or not as eager to learn.

I would like to tell you a little more about my place and me. I do not have a big fancy facility, or huge riding arena, or a lot of high priced tack. I do not beat, or scream and yell at a horse. I do use the lightest tack as possible. I also believe in lots of sweaty blankets and patience. I use kind but firm hands with the horses I ride, and always show the horse respect. I do most of my breaking and teaching a horse to handle in a round pen. Then I take the horse and start riding in an open field or pasture.

This is a little about my beliefs, and training style. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you for visiting "3b Training"
