We offer horse breaking / starting to clients all over Victoria. With horses coming from as far as Mansfield, Swan Hill, Narre Warren & Hamilton. Assistance with transportation of your horse can be arranged if required. 

Using a combination of Natural and Traditional methods your horse can be started or reminded of correct forward behavior.

We generally allow 8 weeks to start your horse, this is dependent on the horse and the extent of the handling when it arrives. In this time your horse will undertake the following;

Week 1 - 2 The first week will normally consist of ground training. In this time the horse will be taught to accept the bridle and the roller. 

Week 4 - 5 This is when most are ready to ride out around the farm and in arena.

Week 5 - 6 By this stage we take the horse out on to a trail or road.

Week 6 - 8 This is where your horse will have its 15-20 rides which reinforces all paces and correct behavior.

** Please note all of the timings for these steps are approximate depending on the horses acceptance of each step. The horse will not progress to the next stage until we are satisfied with the horses standard.

Behavioral Problem Solving

If you are experiencing behavioral issues bucking, rearing general lack of manners or respect there are a number of things we ask you to consider. Is your horse in pain? Am I overfeeding my horse for the amount of work that its receiving? Is your saddle and equipment fitting correctly? Have you had your horses teeth done? We can assist you to find a possible cause and help you find the confidence to work through behavioral issues.
