Training

 

Horses are very intelligent animals. Many people believe in the "Old Cowboy" way of training. Teach the horse to respect you by causing it pain. At Diamond G Acres, we believe in just the opposite. We believe they learn by showing them respect. We have a resistance free style of training. We spend a lot of time on ground work, gaining the horses respect and trust. After that we will move into "give and take". We will ask the horse to do some thing and hold steady pressure until they finally give to the pressure. This in turn shows them that if they do the exercise correctly, then they are rewarded by the release of pressure. If they fail, then we will take control and apply more pressure until they finally give.

We require at least 30 days of training on a young horse, but we strongly recommend at least 60 days. That gives the horse the time to fully understand the basics and then it allows the rider to learn from us, so when the horse is taken home the same training concepts can continue. Benefiting both the horse and the rider.

We not only specialize in training unbroke horses, we also give riding lessons, as we call it "reminder courses" giving the horse a little refresher at the beginning of each season. We also have clinics for events such as barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying. Eventually we will add rough stock clinics as well.

 

Our Cost

  •  $450 for 30 days (This includes training, boarding, twice a day       feedings)
