8 Week Training Program
Give your horse the confidence, responsiveness, and strong foundation to excel in the arena, on trails and roads, and over all kinds of obstacles. Over 8 weeks on our private property - with a 60’ round pen, woodland obstacle course, and varied-terrain trails - your horse progresses through structured exercises that strengthen suppleness, balance, and responsiveness, learning to move confidently at walk, trot, and canter both in the arena and on trails.
This is a transformation program. Horses of all disciplines, temperaments, and experience levels benefit, leaving soft, supple, and attentive, ready for any environment or challenge.
Dedicated training environment: A private facility with a 60’ round pen, woodland obstacle course, and varied-terrain trails that build reliability in real-world conditions.
• Structured skill progression: A proven curriculum of 30+ exercises that create a horse who understands pressure, release, and direction through clear communication.
• Confidence that transfers home: Exposure to new places, obstacles, and challenges so your horse learns to stay focused, adaptable, and willing anywhere you ride.
• Support that continues: Lifetime access to coaching and guidance as your partnership grows and new goals emerge.
• Annual tune-ups included: Two complimentary refresher sessions each year to strengthen skills and reinforce the foundation long-term, for both you and your horse.
Program Structure:
8 Weeks | 6 days a week | 2.5 hours a day (two sessions a day if necessary)
Week 1 – Groundwork
Horses learn to respond calmly and consistently to basic cues: stopping, turning, yielding, and flexing on the line.
Core groundwork develops balance, straightness, and engagement of the hindquarters, laying the foundation for impulsion; the horse’s controlled, forward energy.
Exercises focus on clear communication, attention, and willingness, so the horse begins to understand the language of learning.
Week 2 – Under Saddle
Riding begins in the round pen, applying groundwork skills under saddle.
Horses practice soft, supple, and responsive movement, maintaining balance while generating impulsion from the hindquarters.
Emphasis on smooth transitions, gentle turning, and yielding to aids, strengthening the connection and partnership between horse and rider.
Weeks 3–4: Woodland Obstacle Course
Horses navigate logs, bridges, tarps, gates, and uneven surfaces to develop problem-solving skills and confidence.
Horses begin trail exposure under-saddle, practicing bending and turning around trees at all gaits - walk, trot, and canter - learning to ride straight lines while maintaining smooth, balanced turns.
Horses learn to make independent decisions safely while maintaining attentiveness to cues.
Weeks 5–8: Trail & Environmental Exposure
Horses navigate trails with varied terrain, inclines, and natural obstacles, including country roads, cars, tractors, mailboxes, dogs, and more.
Riding focuses on maintaining balance, suppleness, and responsiveness while handling bends, turns, and transitions at all gaits, reinforcing control and smooth movement outside the arena.
Each horse works on specific challenges they encounter naturally on trails—such as stepping over logs, approaching unfamiliar objects, or confidently navigating tight turns, building trust, confidence, and reliability in every environment.
Your horse will be able to confidently trailer and stand for farrier at the end of this program as well.
Week 8: Full-Day Review Intensive
• Practical demonstration of every skill your horse has learned including groundwork, arena work, obstacles, and trail readiness.
• Thorough evaluation of your horse’s strengths, progress, and any areas that still need support.
• You’ll receive a fully comprehensive digital training guide that includes every exercise taught in the program, step-by-step instructions, troubleshooting tips, and benchmarks for ongoing progress at home.
• Horses complete the program confident, calm, soft, and supple, fully prepared for trails, obstacles, and arena work without stress or hesitation
By the end of 8 weeks, your horse will be soft, supple, and attentive, moving with impulsion at all gaits - walk, trot, and canter - both in the arena and on the trail. They will have the confidence and clarity to handle any situation, knowing how to respond calmly and correctly rather than reacting, giving you a horse you can trust anywhere, under any circumstance.
