At Foxtail Farm and Riding
Academy, the methods of
Natural Horsemanship and
Classical Equitation are used
to train the horse.
Natural Horsemanship is a
type of training which uses
the natural instincts of a
horse as an advantage in
training.
By speaking in a horse's
"language," communication
is clear and precise, and
results in accepting and
willing horses. Problem
horses often benefit from
work in Natural
Horsemanship, and then go
on to work in the more
formal method of training,
Classical Equitation.
Classical Equitation
(Dressage), long known to be
the foundation for all
disciplines of riding, is then
taught to the horse in order
to properly engage the
hindquarters and create a
forward horse.
Once the horse has solidly
completed basic dressage
work under saddle and is
going softly, it is ready for
more advanced work in
Dressage, jumping, or
eventing; however, the
dressage work is always
progressing. The best
jumpers will tell you: "Good
jumping is Dressage in
between fences..."
As the horse's training
progresses, combinations of
training techniques such as
flexions, longeing, ground
driving, trail riding, and
hauling all are combined to
create a calm, well-mannered
horse who is suitable for
progressing through the
levels of competition.
Full Training for your horse
(5 days training per week) is
available for $500. This also
includes holding for
vet/farrier, etc...and 2 off-site
training days per month.
Horses in training are also
given a health record book,
which is kept in the stable, as
well as a training log to keep
track of the horses' progress.
Clients with horses in full
training are welcome to
observe their horses' training.
You may opt to have as
many as 2 days per week to
use as half hour training
lessons with the instructor.
Show Training (3 training
rides from trainer, 2 half hour
lessons or 1 hour lesson is
available for $460 per
month, and includes holding
for vet/farrier and one off-site
training day or video
recorded lesson once per
month.
Breaking-In/Starting is
available for a flat fee of
$1000, and usually takes 1-3
months, depending on
previous ground training.
Your horse will learn to walk,
trot, canter, halt, and
rein-back under saddle.
Half Time Training: 3 times
per week at $300 per month;
more options also available;
please contact us. Half time
is not available for green
horses; they should be in a
full-time program. Half-time
is good for the horse who is
already broken in and needs
keeping up, or a few months'
refresher.
Board is not included, and
starts at $150 per month.
Training at your facility is also
available; please call or email.
