STARTING THE BABIES
Erika and Victor have over 30 years experience starting babies from the ground up, both for the racetrack and regular riding. We focus on creating a great foundation of education through groundwork and train each horse individually, according to his or her temperament and previous experiences. Patience is key! Starting a horse under saddle takes about 2 months, and the horse must be sent to us in Charles Town, WV. Additional training afterwards is available, of course!
Your youngster will learn the following with confidence:
To lead, tie, be groomed, pick up feet, be hosed off
To lunge, free and on a line
Backed and ridden walk, trot, canter, halt, basic steering
Ridden in company and hacked out of the arena
