COST

All horses are different and it is hard to say a set price please
contact us for further details.

STARTING THE YOUNG HORSE: [breaking in]

what it gets you:
A horse that will lead and tie up, will accept its legs being handled
and feet trimmed and shod.
Will load onto a horse float without drama, your horse will be
desensitized to scary stuff such as flapping bags and tarps,
machinery, traffic, water, dogs and anything else I can imagine that
it may have cause to take fright at.
It will stand quietly to be saddled and mounted and wait, will give its
head left and right to a polite rein pressure. Will move forward into
walk trot and canter from light leg pressure and stop when asked
with the reins. It will have speed and direction control to complete a
simple obstacle course, dressage test, trail ride or muster.

How quiet and / or bombproof and how responsive to the rein and
leg cues I train into the horse will depend to some degree on the
trainability of the individual horse.
Some horses are naturally more willing and acceptable to training
than others, due to temperament or past experience

Please take particular note that when starting a young horse I have it
for approximately 4 to 6 weeks, this breaks down to about 20 to 30
hours of ridden work so it is a BIG ASK to expect it to be suitable
for a learner, novice or timid rider. Young horses need cool and
experienced riders to develop them to their full potential.

I do my utmost to train as many rein, leg and voice cues as possible
in the time I have a horse. I want a controlled correct response to
my cues, not a random reaction that is correct only some of the
time. Most importantly the horse must move forward from light leg
pressure and stop/rein back from light rein pressure.

ADDITIONAL COSTS:
Feed, requirements and cost discussed before I take delivery of the
horse

FARRIER
All horses will be able to be shod but if shoeing is required I use a
professional farrier.

DENTAL.
My preferred option is for any dental needs such as wolf teeth
removal, floating of sharp points etc to be attended to before the
horse comes to me , if this is not practicable I will arrange for a
professional equine dentist or vet to attend

VETERINARY.
We take the utmost care with your horse to ensure there are none
but in the event that veterinary care is required it will be done in
consultation with the owner except in an emergency where the
horse’s wellbeing is paramount.
