HORSE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
AT HORSE CREEK RANCH• Dates: Sept 4-30 • Fee: $700 – includes board and training. Also included is one lesson with your horse (on pick-up day). • Feed: $6/day or bring your own hay • Deposit: $350 must be paid to hold your spot. Balance will be due 30 days prior. This will be an exciting opportunity for a select number of horses to participate in our exciting new program. During these months Steve will be working side by side with a small number of apprentices working on several areas of horsemanship, from beginning to advanced principles. These horses will participate in this program - every step of the way. Rather than seeing just a quick 30 minutes to one hour a day, as with most training barns, these horses will actually be partnered up with Steve and his students. They will become a part of the daily activities on the ranch. These horses will receive more than just training; they will have a purpose, which is a priceless key to their development. Some activities will include: Groundwork
Desensitizing
Confidence Building
Liberty
Horsemanship with Snaffle Bit
Freestyle Riding
Cattle Work
Basic Roping
Mountain Trail Riding
Trail Course
Pond and Creek Crossing If you are looking for your horse to go the extra mile in their development, this is your chance. At the end of the month, you will receive one afternoon lesson with your horse to review the things that they have learned. Interested applicants can send in a short description (one page if possible) of why they would like to send their horse, as well as some background information such as age, breed, current level of training, problems needing to be addressed, etc…
Please put Horse Training in the subject of the email. New for this year, the ultimate in cross training! Send your horse for the first three weeks in Sept, and then join us for an entire week with your "new" horse. (If you send your horse in June you can come back for this week Oct 1 – 5 and still receive the reduced price). You will be riding side by side with Steve and the apprentices to improve your communication skills between you and your horse. Last year this very successful and popular program was completely full for both sessions.
Due to space, only a select number of horses can be accepted. Thank you for your interest.
