Performance Trail Horses

Trail Training

While all of our training programs

are customized to meet the needs

of each individual horse & rider team,

our TRAIL TRAINING program

is by far our most popular.

Our area of Florida is blessed with a variety of terrain not normally found in our state, and your horse will learn to safely and calmly negotiate

hills, water, ravines, rocks, tricky footing, etc...

as well as become accustomed to road hazards, motorcycles,

dogs, deer, and other animals both domesticated and wild.

Unlike the "trail courses" offered by many training stables

which are conducted in an arena over man-made "obstacles",

our trail sessions are a very straightforward course of training

conducted on actual trails under "real-life" conditions.

Cost is the same as our basic

Family Pleasure Training,

$650 per month

but is a more athletically demanding

education for your horse.

Horses are ridden 6 days per week,

and average 10-12 miles per day

***Very obese or unfit horses will not achieve this mileage

and will be worked in accordance with their

fitness levels and physical abilities***

Gaited breeds are welcome to participate in all

of our training programs, and our trainer is experienced

in correcting gait flaws in TWH's, Foxtrotters, and Pasos

achieving a smoother "Glide Ride" in your gaited horse.

(See the "Gaited Horse" page for additional details

regarding our Gaited Training programs)

Your horse will learn to calmly & safely

negotiate a variety of natural obstacles,

rough terrain, and the hazards encountered

when riding REAL LIFE TRAILS.

Your horse will learn to ride calmly through any terrain.. on or OFF trails

We encourage owner participation,

and welcome our clients whenever they wish to visit

and/or assist in the training of their horses.
