Otter Trail Ranch

Training

I have worked/trained most breeds; Quarter Horses, Fox Trotters, Paso Finos, Thoroughbreds, Walkers, ect. I train for Trail Riding, Barrels, Western Pleasure, Basics. Most of the time, depending on how long they are there and what they are there for, they can do any of it. Even in the 30 days they are well rounded.

I start all horses with ground work. They get an understanding of what I want, and I get a feel of them. Whether they are a few months old or a few years old. Because each horse is different, young or old, this gives me a good way to see what needs to be worked on a little bit more and what they might know already.

You probably would like to know what your horse with be doing.
