We begin working with our foals at birth, habituating them to human interaction. Working in small increments of time we are able to establish an early partnership of trust and respect.
By the time they are yearlings, they have been on a regular schedule with the Ferrier, know their way in and out of the trailer, lead, tie, and know some basic ground school games that aid them in finding balance in their gaits.
In all aspects of training we focus on both the physical and emotional fitness of the horse. Whether on the ground or under saddle, we are about equipping the young horse with the skills they will need to deal with their future careers.
We have two gifted trainers that work with our horses, both of which have a tremendous amount of experience and education, Angi Brashler and Katie Lay. As the program has developed, I have been continually impressed with how each horse’s needs are individually met.
