What to expect
All training starts with what the client's goal is some are specific
and some are general.....goals differ from client to client:
- I just want a quiet horse so that I can trail ride.
- My horse will not load in a trailer.
- I want to show at the 4H level and possibly go to state.
- I want to show at the Class "A" level
- I want to win at the World Championship Horse Show in
Louisville Kentucky
Each of these goals are different and require different training
tools. Our trainers know that the same technique will not work
with every horse. Each horse requires different tools to be
successful. Over a trainer's career they add many "tools" to their
toolbox to ensure that they can help both you and your horse.
Evaluation
All training starts with an evaluation of both the owner's goals
and the horse's abilities. The trainer will evaluate the horse's
strengths and areas for improvement. After that session the
trainer and owner - together - will create a plan to achieve your
goal.
Cost
Training includes boarding at Hillcrest Equestrian Center; the
cost of training is determined by the goals that the owner is
trying to achieve. Some goals are short term (trailer loading)
some goals are long term (winning at the Kentucky State Fair)
therefore rates will differ depending on what you are trying to
achieve.
