We are currently not accepting any new horses for training.  If you would like to be put on our waiting list, please feel free to call or email us and let us know.

At Eagle Creek Equestrian Center our goals are to train horses, not to break them. All training sessions are done with resistance-free type methods. We are not harsh to the horse, nor do we use any more equipment than we need to accomplish the training task. We use positive reinforcements and lots of verbal praise in our training sessions. We wish for the horse to become a safe, sane, and reliable equine partner. Not a scared, defeated animal.

*You must sign a waiver, training agreement, boarding contract (if horse is to be boarded here), horse medical form, and horse information sheet.

Options

1. The horse is boarded at the stable for the duration of the training. The boarding fee is $250 per month.

2. The horse is kept at his home and the trainer comes to the property for training sessions.  If the horse is kept at home during the training period, a trip fee will be charged for each training session.  The trip fee depends on the distance the trainer must travel.  Trip fees start at $10.

Types of training

1. Basic Training - teaching the horse ground manners and respect for and confidence in people (includes how to lead, tie, stand for grooming and handling, how to bathe, clip, and spray, etc.)

2. Ground Work - teaching the horse how to lunge (includes teaching voice commands for walk, trot, canter, stop and teaching the horse how to carry a saddle, how to carry himself, and how to accept a bit, etc.)

3. Basic Saddle Training - teaching the horse how to accept a rider (includes teaching how to stand still for mounting/ dismounting, how to walk, trot, canter, turn, stop, and yield to leg and hand commands)

4. Advanced Saddle Training - teaching the horse the finer points of whichever discipline the owner wants the horse to be finished in.
