Horse Training Rymar specializes in the training of young horses as well as correcting problem areas in horses that need special attention. In the latter case we work with horse and owner to bring both to the same level so that progress can be made and improved riding skills can be focused on. We can train your horse in English and/or Western riding disciplines from trail riding through top level competition. The young horses we train are handled in a fair and consistent manner to achieve the quiet, disciplined animals that will be a pleasure to ride. Our trainers are experienced professionals that know just how to bring a young horse through its basic training with balance and control, and most importantly, initiate them to correct handling techniques. The most successful program to bring an untrained or inexperienced horse to the proper level for riding enjoyment is a three-month, full-board training program. The horse is schooled 5 to 6 days a week, starting at the very basic movements at the walk and progressing through to jog/trot and working up to the canter. The continuous repetition and reinforcement of the correct balance and movements over a longer period of time ensures the likelihood that the horse has this solidly ingrained in its behavior. This is one of the main goals for most riders – to have a horse that responds to their commands, but this does take time and expert know-how. It is up to the horse owner how long their horse stays in training. This will vary depending on the preference of the owner, previous riding experience, and the temperament of the horse. Rymar also offers a full-board, one-month program which will get a horse with relatively minor difficulties back on track. For a more experienced rider, this may be sufficient to continue training at home, returning for private instruction periodically. Every horse and every rider have different strengths and weaknesses – our programs are individually designed for your specific situation – call and let Rymar help you and your horse enjoy working together as a team ! What you can expect from 30 days training of a previously unridden horse: The horse can be ridden at a walk, trot and canter on command in the round pen. In the initial 30 days the horse will understand backing up, turning and stopping cues. A horse with 30 days training is still unpredictable and not considered a “seasoned” horse and could very well still be capable of bucking, spooking and picking up bad habits if the rider is not experienced with young horses. The progress of each horse will vary depending on its temperament, maturity and breeding. What you can expect from 60 days training: The second month the horse will continue perfecting the skills learned in the first 30 days. Repetition is the key for the young horse to grasp the solid groundwork necessary to move on to more complex maneuvers in the future. The
horse begins riding outside the round pen and on the trail. The
horse will learn to side pass and begins to attain the coordination
needed to gather himself for more collected movement in his gaits, and
to improve transitions (changing from one gait to another) The third month of
training, again, focuses on reinforcing all the training in the
first 60 days. The more riding a young horse gets, the less likely
his training will become “undone”. This is a period of time
that we like to bring the horse and rider together. It is
highly recommended that the owner begin riding the horse while the
trainer assists by teaching the rider the cues the horse is
accustomed to.
