We regularly Break In horses for clients, and this can be done with three year olds from spring onwards. It would normally take three weeks with the easier horses that have not had any previous problems. This can run on further with some not so easy ones, and owners would be kept informed of the progress.
Most owners like their horse to be able to walk, trot and canter in an outline in the Arena, and to hack out in company before they take them home to continue the learning process. Some owners prefer to leave their horse with us for a further length of time to allow us to expand further on the education.
Their are also occasions when clients need their horse to be Schooled. This may be because their horse has had problems, or the owner may be going away for a length of time, or they want to improve the horses general way of going, possibly for selling or competition purposes.
We strongly recommend that all new horses have their teeth and backs checked by our regular specialists to give them the greatest chance of reaching their best performance.
Owners are encouraged to ride their horse/s with us before they are taken home, and we will always be available to give advice at later stages to help further your progress.
