Horse Training

Specializing in Ranch Riding, Horsemanship, and Ground Control

At Heart and Hooves Horse Training, we focus on cultivating skilled, confident horses and riders with an emphasis on ranch riding, horsemanship, and ground control. Our training is rooted in trust, respect, and practical skills to help horses and riders excel in both the arena and real-world settings.

​

What We Offer:

  1. Ranch Riding Training
    We specialize in training horses for ranch riding, focusing on smooth transitions, responsiveness, and versatility. Horses learn to move with confidence and precision through patterns and obstacles that reflect the demands of ranch work.

  2. Horsemanship Development
    A strong connection between horse and rider is at the heart of all we do. Our horsemanship programs teach riders to communicate clearly and effectively while improving balance, timing, and feel. From beginner riders to advanced competitors, we provide coaching tailored to each individual’s goals.

  3. Ground Control for Success
    Ground Control is the foundation of every great horse. Our programs focus on teaching horses respect, focus, and confidence on the ground. Skills include:

    • Leading and yielding to pressure

    • Emotional Training and proper handling

    • Building trust and preparing for under-saddle work

    • Everything we do on the ground directly translates in to the saddle

 

Our Philosophy:

We believe in creating well-rounded horses and riders by emphasizing:

  • Practical skills that translate to real-world situations and competitions.

  • Positive, respectful training methods that build confidence and willingness in horses.

  • A strong horse-human partnership based on understanding and communication.

Comprehensive Care for Happy, Healthy Horses

At Heart and Hooves, we believe that a horse’s physical well-being is just as important as their training. That’s why we offer therapy treatments to support the health and performance of every horse in our program. These treatments are designed to aid in recovery, enhance performance, and ensure that each horse feels their best—both in and out of the arena.

Therapy Treatments We Offer:

  1. MagnaWave Therapy
    MagnaWave delivers pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy to promote circulation, reduce inflammation, and support muscle recovery. It’s an excellent tool for improving comfort and overall performance in training horses.

  2. TheraPlate Therapy
    The TheraPlate uses vibration therapy to enhance circulation, reduce soreness, and improve flexibility. It’s great for warm-ups, cool-downs, and injury prevention, helping horses stay strong and ready for work.

  3. BEMER Therapy
    The BEMER system stimulates microcirculation, promoting better oxygenation and nutrient delivery throughout the body. This therapy helps with muscle recovery, relaxation, and overall health, giving horses the edge they need to thrive.

Why We Include Therapy in Training:

  • Preventative Care: These therapies reduce the risk of injuries by addressing muscle tension, stiffness, and inflammation early.

  • Enhanced Performance: By keeping horses comfortable and healthy, they’re able to learn and perform at their best.

  • Comprehensive Well-Being: We care about the whole horse—mind, body, and spirit. Therapy treatments support both physical and mental relaxation.

When your horse trains with us, you can trust they’re receiving the best care possible. Our therapy treatments work alongside our personalized training programs to ensure every horse is happy, healthy, and ready to excel.
