Training Programs |
At
TEC we
customize training programs to suit both the owner and the horse’s needs,
along with the owner's budget. We offer training packages from one week to
six months. We ask that horses are current on shots, vaccinations, worming
and hoof care. Horses do not need to be shod because we have mostly sandy
footing. Included in the training package is training and either grass or
alfalfa hay. Horses are kept with a maximum of three other training horses
of the same sex in wooded pastures ranging from one to two acres. They are
fed twice a day and have access to an automatic water system at the top of a
slight hill- this helps with self-conditioning every time they go to get a
drink of water and burning off any excess energy.

Unstarted and up from AZ for the summer, now 3 yr old Asa (Haflinger)
with happy owner Chris and friend, Breezer, on their first trail
ride together practicing in ID. |
Generally a
horse is brought in for a week long evaluation of its mental, physical,
emotional and educational status. Then we discuss our evaluation with the owner
and best direction to help the horse gain confidence, experience, and
education.
Our goal is
to encourage horses that come to us to want to “try” for their owners in any
situation by offering their mental and emotional availability which in turns
allows their physical availability.
All aspects of interacting with
the horses are addressed, from catching them in the pasture to jumping fences to
crossing natural obstacles; we are looking for the horse to have a positive
experience when they work with us.

We
strongly encourage owner participation as the horse gains confidence and
experience. Owners are invited to watch training sessions and eventually
partake in lessons with their horse both working on the ground and riding.
This way we can send both horse and owner home with clear communication and
a raised level of awareness to create a respectful and rewarding partnership
with each other.
Horses
are worked Monday thru Friday (not by the clock.) Our goal is to start and
end on a positive note. Horses may be dropped off Monday-Friday between 8am
and 12pm. For one week of training (Sam working with only the horse) which
includes board is $200; if the horse and owner are in full training (any
combo of five sessions and including board) the fee is $250. Full payment
is required PRIOR to training. We have a waiting list so owners can secure
the next available spot by paying a NON-REFUNDABLE $200 deposit. Horses are
accepted in the order that deposits are received.
Please
feel free to email or call if you have any further questions.
