I have
ridden several breeds of horses but the Tennessee Walking horses are my
passion. Their smooth gait and great disposition was very enciting.
I began
training colts 1996. They are my first love. The thought of molding and
shaping the mind of a young horse and then seeing them move on to a good
steady minded riding horse is a great joy.
As of
2001 I train full time with my husband. Now, everyone asked us, “How do
you work with your spouse all day long?” GOOD QUESTION
We train
together but we rarely see each other except for lunch. We have
approximately 24 horses in training I work half and he works half. Our
philosophy on training is to work as a team. We switch the horses every
2-3 rides so that we are aware of what each horse is doing. I work on
certain functions such as, round pen (ground training), ground driving,
flexibility, long walking for stride and animation, cantering and halter
for showing. He may work on faster work for stretching, animation and
cantering. He starts all the colts under saddle after I teach them ground
training. Like I stated TEAMWORK is a must. |
