Training Philosophy
Training packages are available in several forms. We offer general lesson packages for training clients, training ride packages completed by our trainer Madison Klinkose, and mixed packages that combine lessons and training rides. We place great importance on a strong dressage foundation paired with balanced, patient riding.
We prefer to use minimal to no training tools such as draw reins, side reins, or rigging. While these tools have a place, we choose not to rely on them. We require a minimum of one lesson or training ride per week for every horse, as well as a minimum of three exercise sessions per week. These requirements promote consistency in fitness and ensure horses can comfortably handle their workload.
Most jump training is done at lower heights, as we believe the majority of learning and conditioning can be achieved without jumping at height and helps preserve the horse’s legs. We do enjoy occasional bigger jumping days, but we are mindful not to overuse them. Flatwork with correct body usage is heavily emphasized, with jumping limited to two to three times per week. We also accept horses on full training board for clients who would like us to maintain their training.
