Develop Your Horse

ULTIMATE IN CROSS TRAINING

Send your horse to Horse Creek Ranch for 3 months AND for the ultimate in cross training, join us for lessons with your “new” horse. To make sure you both get started off on the right track. Your horse will become part of the ranch: ridden out on thousands of acres, getting gates, crossing creeks, working cattle, along with specific issues you would like worked on (i.e. arena work, trailer loading, herd bound behavior, etc.). This has been a very successful program for horses of all breeds and disciplines.

CONCENTRATED LEARNING TIME

What a great opportunity to help get your horse some concentrated learning time.  This is not a 'horse training' program, but rather a 'horse development' program.  We will work each horse on their specific development needs.  They will be encouraged to reach both mentally and emotionally in order to become better partners for their owners.  They will be worked some on specific maneuvers and techniques.  However, the majority of their experience will be based on having a real job and a purpose for the duration of each month.  We feel that many horses lack a purpose and understanding of why.  This is a great opportunity to help reach deeper than a normal training program.  This program has been extremely popular and very successful.
