Horse Training
We believe the key to successfully backing a horse starts from the ground. We spend an appropriate amount of time doing hands on ground work to build a relationship and trust with each horse to encourage a willing and happy attitude throughout training. This consists of lunging sessions (with or without tack), ground work sessions (bathing, crosstie practice etc) and in hand walks around the property. Once we feel the horse is ready we will start riding.
We offer programs for a horse that has already been started and needs more finishing. We focus on helping each horse become more balanced, supple and confident. There are options for a horse needing more trail miles or started over fences. We also can have client horses show regularly with us with options to be ridden by professional and amateur to increase their show experience. Each horse learns to accept contact through the bridle and respond to seat and leg aids. The horses will also go on rides around the farm and trails to increase their exposure to various settings.
We specialize in Thoroughbred rehab and restart but Training is available for all ages and breeds of horses. Each horse will be worked with 3-6 times per week and have plenty of turnout. Riding will be based off each horses needs and owners request. All horses will receive ground training, desensitizing and be ridden in various settings. DTS customizes each horses training plan per horse and owners needs.
