I am currently looking for a free horse to take in and train through the Clinton Anderson Methods. I will put 45-60 days of proffesional training on this horse and then advertise it to find a forever home. I have many clients that are always looking for well-manered, good looking, horses. I have tons of experience with problem horses and I will work with them through their problems- The problem must not be life-threatening.

I have experience from halter training babies to breaking horses to ride for pleasure and training for the show ring for the last 8 years. I would not consider myself and expert who can train a push-button show horse, but I can get them well on their way. I have worked with the most average horse and brought it up to its fullest potential resulting in a well mannered, respectful, responsive, capable and enjoyable partner. I train and have experience in: Halter, Showmanship, Ground Respect, Desensitizing, Western/English Pleasure, Trail, Pleasure Ridding, and Training to gain respect on the ground and in the Saddle. I have competed and won in areas of Halter, Showmanship, English & Western Pleasure/Equitation, Playdays - Barrels & Poles.

~ I believe in starting out every horse, no matter the age or capabilities, learning the basic fundamentals of ground work. I train under the Clinton Anderson Down Under Horsemanship methods. I work to "make the right things easy and the wrong things difficult" so that the horse learns to make the correct decisions and become a willing partner.

~ I can provide training in the following areas: Leading, tying quietly, standing still to saddle and mount, stopping and backing softly and collected, transition from walk-trot-lope smoothly, neck reining, yielding to leg pressure, flexing, bending and collection, trailer loading, grooming, bathing, clipping, trail riding experience, etc. The horse will gain exposure to obstacles like water, ditches, logs, tarps, tractors, 4-wheelers, traffic... I have lots of experience with problem horses ex: bad habits, fear and lack of confidence issues, and little to no ground manners. Requirements: Must have current Coggins Over 14.2h Over the age of 2 Under the age of 10 Registration Papers No soundness, or lameness issues Clean Bill of Health No Cribbers
