I believe in a solid, thoroughly-built groundwork foundation, establishing a horse that is accustomed to an active environment while maintaining a light sensitivity where it's important. Soft, flexible head, neck, and body with strong hind end impulsion is encouraged and enforced throughout groundwork. I do not "cowboy break" or quick fix, so there is never any "bucking it out" or driving a horse to exhaustion. I teach very low contact on the hands for English, and no contact at all for Western. Body language is a huge part of my training. While firm and focusing on respect, I am not aggressive and have a lot of patience. I encourage owners to visit or sit in on sessions and even take on some hands-on learning experience so that when the horse goes home, the owner is able to continue progressing with their horse.

$850 5 sessions/week (N/A for march)

WILDWIND HORSEMANSHIP

---

COLT STARTING / TRAINING ENGLISH / WESTERN / DRESSAGE / JUMPING / REINING Wildwind Horsemanship is now taking bookings for horse training and colt starting. We have over 20 years experience with horses and specialize in starting and performance training. Stephanie has 20+ years experience with horses. She has lots of experience working with young/green and "problem" horses. She herself is working under one of Canada's top Dressage Coaches and has lots of professional experience working with all levels of horses and riders. Learn from someone who is dedicated in her own training as a rider and can bring to you a new and refreshing program.  Stephanie's goals as a trainer and coach are to develop a partnership based on trust, lightness and harmony. Regardless of your discipline of choice or whether you’re a beginner or an experienced horse person we can develop a program to suit you and your horse. Training includes all care, feed, and boarding costs including supplements and minerals. Horses have large private paddocks during the day and come into stalls with runs for the night. They have access to hay and water at all times. Our goal is to ensure that horses receive the best care and are happy and healthy throughout their stay. Training programs are designed specifically for you and your horse. Lessons throughout the training period are included in the price and you can have as many lessons a week as you would like. I recommend at least 1-2x a week if possible you come for a lesson. This is however not necessary if you are unable or live far away. We are a smaller operation and therefore have the time to devote to each horse ensuring the best care and quality. If you have any questions feel free to email or call  or find us on Facebook under Wildwind Horsemanship.

Ten years experience training horses and am a certified equine specialist with many references available upon request. Worked with horses from all walks of life and all different breeds.With horses being an energy based animal especially revolving around their nervous system in how they work/react, I work with horses in such a way to build a solid foundation starting on the ground. Each horse progresses and moves forward in different ways making having different techniques vital to carrying through the training needed.

GEMINI EQUESTRIAN

I am taking on 2 more clients for the November/ December months for colt starting, problem solving, trailering assitance, or for your older horse that needs a refresher with some groundwork basics and miles. Because I don't have yet have my facility estabilished, I am travelling to you and your horse and I can provide all tack and equipment if need be, English or Western. I highly suggest that owner or rider spend a couple sessions with myself and the horse so I am able to fully explain aids I have used, and give a couple lessons. If you have access to an indoor arena/ round pen, thats always helpful! If not, we can always make arrangements to travel locally.

I offer a $30 flat fee ( inlcuding mileage within reason ) to come to your place to meet your horse/horses and do an assessment.

Rates are as follows:
- Colt Starting ( Horses with 0 to Under 30 days ) : $700 a month for a minimum of two months.
* This includes working with the horse 4-5 days a week*

- Groundwork Refreshers and miles : $400-500 per month
* Includes working with the horse for 2-3 days per week *

- Problem Solving : $30 per session (up to 1.5 hours), per horse, plus mileage @ .50 Cents per Kilometre traveled.

I follow natural horsemanship techniques from the horseman that started it all; Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt. I always put the horse first and I don't believe in using tools to force horses to do anything. With the proper foundation on the ground, and a kind heart with understanding to how the horse thinks, anything can be accomplished. Feel free to check out my website, and facebook page. Tons of pictures and referances avalible upon request.

Spots are filling up quickly! I look forward to meeting you all and helping you with your 4-legged friends :)
 

JENSEN PERFORMANCE HORSES

Brady excels in training cutting horses;

However, he also breaks 2 year olds, puts basic training on horses of all ages, and gives lessons.

KYLE FISCHER HORSE TRAINING

I am looking to take on new clients during the evenings (or full time if the pay is right) this winter for Colt starting, problem solving, riding lessons and horsemanship lessons. I will travel to you, as I do not have a barn or personal facility yet set up. I do have the option of you trailering to my arena (indoor, heated) as long as horse has 5 way shots, dewormed and strangles vaccine.

The way I train follows 3 principles/rules:

1. Making the wrong thing hard and the right thing easy
2. Take the time it takes for the horse to understand
3. Don’t ask a question the horse doesn’t already have the answer for

I break down what I am teaching into small steps using previously learned answers. I am not a “natural horsemanship” trainer (Nothing natural to the horse about riding him) but I train to give the horse the best deal and as much opportunity to learn as possible. This gets you a willing, calm, athletic and worry free companion that has the confidence to do any discipline you want and enjoys it.

Colt Starting (horse with 0 – under 30 days): $600/Month not including board (4 lessons a week, time depends on horse) with half up front.

Problem Solving (e.g. trailer loading, picking up hooves, head tossing, laziness, bolting, rearing, etc.): $30/hour – Will drop to $25/hour if there are more than one person for the hour!

Riding/horsemanship lessons: $30/hour (this is with you and the horse, or just myself training your horse)
Each horse I train will know the below regardless of discipline. These are things each horse gains though my training program/style:

- loose reined walk, trot, lope (canter)
- neck reining
- halt (stand for mounting, ground tie)
- back up
- side pass
- turn on front, turn on rear
- collected walk, trot, lope (canter)
- extended trot and canter
- Slow off the seat

Once your horse has the basics I can orientate to specific disciplines:

Lower Level Dressage
Beginner Jumping
Reining
Trail Riding
Cow work (if you have access to cows/flag/mechanical it would be better)
Basic Western Pleasure

I like to have the owner/rider spend a few lessons with me and the horse so that both are on the same page if I am to be training the horse without your presence. Horse will require its own tack as well. I do have a few saddles, but my boys are fairly wide withered and saddles may not fit many horses.

Mileage fees will depend on how far I have to drive. 

HORSE TRAINING

Gentle, Reliable, and Affordable Horse Training

My name is Hailey and I have been working, training, riding and showing horses for 8 years. I have the strong nature and soft hand needed to get a colt or full grown horse successfully through the training process to become a well mannered, level headed riding partner.

I am willing to work with horses of any age, size, and amount of training including drafts, ponies, older or younger unhandled horses and horses that have bad fears, behaviours, or have had a negative upbringing.

Depending on the horse and the discipline of your choice the time needed to successfully bring the horse to that mind frame can vary.

I can help you and your equine partner to become a better team in the following disciplines listed below.
 
Basic Western
-loose reined walk, trot, lope,
-neck reining
- halt, back , side pass,
- turn on front, turn on rear
- trail riding
- bareback
 
Basic English ( horse must have own tack )
- loose walk, trot, canter
-collected walk, trot, canter
- extended trot and canter
- halt, back, side pass
- jumping introductory
- trail riding
- bareback

I can also work with your equine under a certain or specific discipline once comfortable, and knowledgeable of the actions asked of him/her including :

. Basic Reining
. Barrel Racing and Gymkhana
. Intermediate Jumping
. Intermediate XC

I have reasonable rates that can be discussed and altered for the needs of the horse and rider and I will be training over the winter.

Please contact me if you would like an assessment and you can watch me work with your horse and decide if you approve of my training methods and handling of your horse.

If you are interested in having your equine worked with or have any questions what so ever please feel free to contact me by any of the sources below. I would love to hear about you and your horse and let you know how I can help.
