Natural Gaited Horsemanship Training |

|
|
|
Our farm is dedicated to training gaited horses in a supportive, honest environment. We help horses and riders develop a willing, respectful partnership together with natural gaited horsemanship training from start to finish, for pleasure riding or show.
The horses are much happier, perform better, and true partnerships are created that can last a lifetime.
Training Facility
We have 14 matted stalls, a 65 x 144 well lighted indoor arena, and a round pen. Training takes place both indoors and out to give the horses exposure to a variety of surroundings. All breeds are welcome.
Contact us to make an appointment or check for available openings.

Our Skills
Our training is based on Richard Shrake resistance free horsemanship, natural horsemanship, and basic dressage. We have 15 years experience developing and refining our training and riding skills with a variety of gaited horses for show and pleasure riding. With hard work, a successful show career, continuous learning, honesty, and a passion for quality, we have set a standard in the Northwest for others to follow.
Every time you handle or ride a horse, you are teaching them habits. It is up to you if they are good or bad habits. We help you learn good habits.
 Natural Horsemanship Lessons
Our lessons will help you learn effective communication and riding skills that create trust and respect with your horse. This process takes practice and effort and is the foundation to maintaining positive experiences with your horse.
