Training

About Training

Horses, as well as riders, need their education continued and refreshed, which is why we offer training in conjunction with lessons.  It is integral that a horse understand its job, so that the rider can focus on theirs.  This is why we also continue our education on our own lesson horses and ponies as well as our clients.

Having been a behavior therapist for children with autism previously, as well as having a degree in Psychology, Krissan has a lot of experience with Applied Behavior Analysis Training.  She uses this on a daily basis with not only her students, but the horses as well.

Krissan’s training philosophies include these key points:

  • Creating a relaxed, balance horse that accepts contact through the gaits and engages the hindquarters during work
  • Building a horse’s confidence and trust through positive reinforcement and working at a pace that is suitable for each individual equine
  • Keeping consistency!  Horses need to learn with consistency, so that each behavior either good or bad, receives the same, consistent attention each occurrence, to either reinforce or retrain that behavior
  • Creating a partnership through mutual respect, not with domination

Along with Krissan’s training, which is only one piece of the puzzle for success, we utilize chiropractic and acupuncture care from Dr. Milton, regular and specialized shoeing when needed from Joel Ondrusek, and veterinary care from Equine Sports Medicine and Surgery with Dr. Danny Dutton.

Sammie and Action Man were on absolute 🔥 FIRE 🔥  this week at Final Chase! They won the speed rounds in the 1.05m and 1.10m resulting in champion of both those divisions, won both their rounds in the High Adult Jumpers, resulting in ANOTHER Champion for the division and finished off the week with 3rd in the High Child/Adult $2,500 Classic. The impressive part, was that was their first 1.15m class together! 

But the biggest brag of all, is she did all this AND GROOMED, FED, LUNGED AND CLEANED STALLS all week for all the horses at the show. Watch out everyone, this girl is the real deal.
