Training your gaited horse
 

We do not take new training horses in till fall 2011...                              Reserve your spot now for spring 2012...

At Pleasure Gaits we offer the opportunity to train your gaited horse to a higher level. Is your horse mixing gaits? Do you want your gaited horse schooled in his gaits? Whether you want some gait training for your green broke Walking Horse, conditioning your Mangalarga Marchador on the trail, or certifying your Rocky Mountain Horse or Kentucky Mountain Saddle Horse, there are many options available despite the breed of your gaited horse.

All horses will be trained both from the ground and under saddle focussing on the gaits of the specific breed. We have an outside arena of 18 x 45 meters and a roundpen of 16 meters diameter. Further more we can take your horses on the trail in our beautiful area. Your horse will stay in a paddock during its stay at our facility. 

We prefer riding bitless but on request we ride your horse with bit. During the training we will work from the ground and from the saddle working on correct balance for your horse. We use both classical dressage and Centered Riding techniques for this. The pronouncement 'It takes two to tango.' is definately important training horses. When training the horse, the owner also needs to be schooled in order to continue the training once back home. We emphasize how important this is and stimulate the owner to grow along with the horse. Therefor we offer 1 ridinglesson per week for free during the time of training as soon as the horse is established in his gaits. Minimum age of the horse is 3,5 years. We advise to start training at the age of 4 or older. Please also take a moment to read the article of Dr. Deb Bennett regarding maturation in horses. It is our goal to give your horse a proper education that will keep its value for the rest of his/her life.

Your horse needs to have a passport and current on vaccinations including the Rhino Pneunomy twice a year and deworming. If treatment of osteopathy, vet etc are necessary in order to further educate your horse in a humane matter, costs are for the owner.

Contact us in advance to discuss the options for your horse or make an appointment for a personal introduction.

More information about my own education and experience with gaited horses can be found here.
