Desensitizing
An example of such an object might be a plastic bag suddenly blowing across the path of horse and rider, which, if the horse has not been properly desensitized, could result in spooking. Spooking is potentially dangerous, as it can result in fallen riders or horses bolting into traffic. A typical method to desensitize the horse to such an object is to tie a plastic bag to the end of a stick and, through multiple sessions, slowly get the horse used to the object. The sessions include waving the bag in the air, rubbing the horse's body, face and legs with it, and ultimately whipping the bag against the ground near the horse's feet. I Also use a verity of objects balloon's tarps or a Ball. What ever I may have around. I try an make this fun for the horse. It's best to use horses natural curiosity. This Also is very beneficial for establish trust to develop a true partnership and leader ship between you and the horse. These tactic's are also a way I evaluate a horse. To get into there head. To show me if they are more right brained or left brained. Timid or Brave there strength's and weakness's. And where I need to start Bluiding. To lay the the block's for a Solid foundation.

Ground Manner's
This is very important. The horse must respect you space. Lead properly, Stand still while you mount. To stand tied and handle the feet. Among several other issue's that will carry over in the saddle. I also like to teach all horses I train to enter tight spaces. This could some day life be a life saver. I also teach your horse to load an unload safely from horse trailer. I also know if a horse want's to be hard headed don't be hard on the horse, Allow the horse be hard on them self. The horse will find your way is easier an summit and in turn .All the while developing Leader ship trust and a mutual respect, eventully true partnership.

Saddle Training

When I saddle a horse young or older for the first time. Before I even set saddle on there back. I Have already introduced the sight/smell of saddle. I have little tactics I like to use. One is make this fun for the horse I use the horse's natural curiosity. When all is good .I start by just setting saddle on horse. Never Cinch horse at this point. I simply move horse out in the round pen an let the saddle fall to the ground. I keeping doing so until horse is unmoved or unsettled by it all together. To cinch horse and teach him the feel of cinch and feel of saddle while cinched. When Fully desensitized to saddling. I move to cir single and long rein's While fully sacked out. . After horse is standing still tied excepting saddle or some call it sacking out. And excepting bit or Bosal, Under stand's the commands and is responsive . Giving to pressure an release understand rein cue's . When horse is confidant and stands allowing me mount an un mount. This is where the horse an I have a complete understanding and Trust. I am not doing any thing that the horse is not ready for, The horse is fully excepting me as its leader an has giving me the full trust. This is where I take the most joy. Because this is where the horse an I become one. This where the horse an I develop a true partnership. We are ONE.

Childs Block Rotating Ponying up/First ride:
This is where I take your horse from the round pen, Fully sacked out in all there new fancy dud's. Saddle, breast collar, Bridle an reins. While I ride my one of mount's or horse in training who is mostly finished. I start out in the pasture here. And we move out on roads an trails. This will Acclimate them to new sight's and sound's like traffic an many more thing's.This is also a test.To see if there are any wholes in training. A horse will be more confident in a place he familiar with. Even thou I have already desensitized the horse in many ways an established leadership.They can get a Little skittish. Mostly so when they are crossing water an so forth, I find that all horses just LOVE this. After a few trips we are ready for our first ride out on the trail.

Finished Training:
I teach the horse to achieving collection, Rounding up, Useing there hind end, correct head posture, suppleness, Rhythm, half halts, Flying lead changes, Side pass, Rollover's , Backing up. Moving off pressure. I'm a capable trainer in Western an English riding tactics.

"I prefer "Natural Horsemanship" methods; pressure and release. I feel each trainer has
something to teach and do not prefer one particular method over another. Each horse is an
individual and it just doesn't make sense to pick one method and stick with it.  I have participated in many natural horsemanship clinics,
as well as some draft horse clinics. I take bits and pieces from each clinic, book and video
and combine that with my own experiences to find the best way to work with a particular horse.
I am continually looking to expand my knowledge, and will continue to read new (and new to
me) training books, watch videos and attend clinics.
I want to focus on building a strong, willing partnership between horse and human-both on the
ground and in the saddle. When you create a willing partnership with your horse you will both
be happier. I want to show horses and people how to achieve this partnership.  I also feel strongly that every horse deserves a chance, and thoroughly enjoy working with
"problem horses." Whether the horse comes from a sketchy past or has simply had little to no
training, most horses will come around in time-if given a chance..."

There are times when you can trust a horse,
times when you can't, and time when you have to.

We offer your Horse the red carpet treatment during his or her stay. Horses are stalled in a full size barn with fans and lots of attention, We have hot walker's 2 great round pens as well 150x250 foot Arena that will be completed this summer July 08.

They are fed High Quality hay and handled by me. I do the training not the Inprintice's. I do have staff that will assists me in some training Tactics. For a higher state of learning. No miss Hap's to fix. There's no room for errors on my time. Meredith Mazutis
