Horse Training
Have a Standardbred Horse who needs Breaking to Saddle? We can help!
Why we love Standardbreds
​All of our trusty trek horses are Standardbreds—and for good reason. They’re intelligent, steady, and full of heart. We love their willing workhorse mentality, making them ideal partners for both trail and pleasure riding.
Breaking to Saddle
​We offer thoughtful, progressive saddle training tailored to each horse’s pace. Whether freshly off the track or needing a restart, we focus on calm, confident transitions from harness to ridden work, with plenty of mileage in open spaces.
Groundwork & Manners
​Good horses start from the ground up. We spend time instilling solid basics—leading politely, standing tied, loading, and handling feet. Every horse leaves our care with respectful manners and a better connection to humans.
