Training
What training services do we offer?
We offer full monthly training, partial training, lessons in riding and ground control as well specialized consultations at your facility to correct behavioural issues.
How does it work?
The desired training type and period will be based on a “strategy planning” first session. During this session we will establish the training goals and discuss what areas are necessary for you to improve in order to gain full control of your horse. It is very important to identify the specific outcome of training, for you and your horse, to guarantee that we reach those goals to your satisfaction.
What will I gain from training with CWH?
We strive to give you an extraordinary experience that will lead you to incorporate new knowledge of horse behaviour. You will establish leadership and personal confidence. Gaining problem solving tools will give you a solid training foundation.
Imagine a safe and well trained equine partner (your horse) that you can enjoy every day!
What will my horse learn?
We focus on building strong foundations to avoid problems. It will be easy to advance to higher levels of training, whatever your issue at hand may be. Horses in training will encounter various, if not all of the following exercises, depending on the desired goals:
Gaining respect and trust at liberty…Lunging for control…Leading with respect…Follow the leader…Ground driving…Desensitization to pressure and moving objects…One rein stops and softening to the bend…Yielding forequarters, hindquarters and ribcage…Stopping…Two tracking and side passing…Self balancing…Lateral and vertical flexion…Backing and Collection. We always recommend that the owner take as many lessons from us as possible to ensure a great result.
Is a consultation a good idea for me?
When horses are taken into rehabilitation outside of their normal environment and away from their owner, they sometimes have a tendency to revert back to the unwanted behaviour upon return. We offer you private, exclusive consultations at the facility where your horse is located, designed especially for you. This will ensure that all your training needs are met from the very beginning. If you don’t wish to send your horse into full training at our facility, consultations can be a very effective training method for you and your horse.
How long will my horse be in training?
That may be determined by specific training needs and learning pace of you and your horse. Most behavioural issues can be solved with proper knowledge and a consistent training effort by you-the owner!
