Training is available for building a foundation in young horses, solving problems, advancing competition horses, and most importantly creating an understanding between horse and owner. All training is kind, compassionate, and based on your horse's individual needs and your goals. Katie's training goal is to help you achieve your dreams with a reliable, safe horse; the partner you need for competitions, trails, bridleless, or just fun afternoons. Connection Horse Training is personal; you tell Katie what your goals are, and she will give you the best possible chance to gain them.
A typical training session may start with round pen/liberty or on - line work; Katie starts by observing your horse to learn about his/her individual personality and pysche. Based upon her observations, Katie then starts with simple cuing lessons to teach your horse to respond to body language and look to you as a dominant
member of a herd. In being the dominant horse, you and your horse will be closer than ever; when you have fun, your horse will have fun too! Groundwork and under saddle exercises follow the round pen to further teach the horse to soften, relax, and listen.
Owners are encouraged to be involved throughout the training process. Whether the owner is available to be present at the training session or not, Katie writes out or emails detailed notes about every training session to the owner so that the owner is completely educated in everything happening with his/her horse. At the end of the session owners are given a chance to learn and try out their horse's new training, as well as learn how to use exercises to keep their horse at his/her full ability. No training session is complete until you can practice and use the training with your horse yourself!
