Aw Performance Horses

The goal in my program is to send all training horses back home with a solid foundation. All horses that come in for training go through a series of ground work to encourage respect for his or her handler and confidence when it comes to �scary� objects. I do this by teaching them not through force but rather repetition and using a method of sensitizing and desensitizing. When it comes time to start riding them I try to get them soft in their face and sides. As a result, they become extremely responsive and comply naturally to your cues, not radical or intimidated. I teach them to ride on a loose rein and perform the task without much help from the rider. After they have been in training for a while they all usually can go on and learn any discipline and perform according to their natural abilities. Being "broke" is the most important thing a horse can learn before becoming anything else. I like the horses to be happy while in training and they do get worked just about everyday, but they don't know it and that is key to our success!

Plenty of open fields to ride and and only 1.5 miles from quail Hollow State Park
