Horse Trainers and Lessons in Colorado

Arvada

Evening/Weekend Horse training and care offered.
I am not a professional trainer, but have alot of experience. Especially with horses off the racetrack. I will work on anything from ground manners, to clipping, bathing, lunging, cross tie-ing, free-jumping, under saddle, vet/farrier issues, you name it. I do not punish the horse for getting something wrong, I find a new way of asking them so they can get it right. I always give praise and loving when the horse has even attempted something that is hard or scary for them. And I always end the day on a good note. If you are a new owner and just need some guidance and instruction to make sure you are doing things correctly, I will work with you as well. I also can help you when purchasing a horse. If you need a second opinion regarding the horses compatibility for your needs, or you want someone to test ride the horse for you pre-purchase. I am located in Arvada, CO. and will travel to your barn within reason. I am willing to come further for a gas fee. I have ridden since I was 2 years old and have taken instruction from Rocky River Riding Stables (Ohio) for over 10 years. And shown successfully. I have also had lessons from other trainers interspursed in there as well. I only have experience with English riding (hunter under saddle/over fences/dressage). Top notch training for less $$. Please contact me via email and we can discuss your needs and I can answer any questions you may have. Thank you. Una Reno unareno@gmail.com 6/11/07

Florence

Sarah and Blake Morehead bring what is missing with many horse trainers! They are dedicated to creating a training program to develop your horse with the potential to succeed as the mount of your dreams. They deliver what they promise and consider any step in training as a piece of a proper foundation for more advanced work. Short cuts for immediate results that end up with training holes are not acceptable. They are willing and able to explain their training methods as they work with the horse so that the owner can continue consistent work once the horse goes home. Between them, Sarah and Blake can correctly start a youngster for English or Western pleasure or show, improve ground manners and correct behavioral problems, finish a show horse in reining or train up to 3rd level dressage. They have worked with horses that other trainers gave up on as well as “fixed” horses that were messed up with poor training methods. Los Pinos Equestrian Center is the training home for Sarah and Blake, located near Florence Colorado. We provide excellent care of your horse while in training, plus have the facility to introduce your horse to the environment for which he will be trained. We have a large arena with barrels, poles, jumps and trail obstacles, trailers for loading training, trails, round pens and the occasional “show day” environment. We also have 2 farriers, a tack shop and a saddle fitter on hand. Sarah and Blake are also available for lessons and our next goal is to develop a cross country course. Training fees range from $600-650/month, including full care board. Please call Marlene at 719-351-5037 or email Marlene@LosPinos-CO.com to schedule training or to arrange a visit with Sarah and Blake. www.LosPinos-CO.com 10/3/07

I am a hunter/jumper/eq trainer and have two training locations (in Littleton and Sedalia). I am looking to hire some help for the Littleton location (occasional mucking, grooming and feeding) but mainly we are looking for assistance at the horseshows. We have anywhere between 6-10 horses at each show (the shows are in/around Parker, Colorado Springs, Denver, Littleton, plus some other locations). If you are interested you must have horse experience because the job entails feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, tacking up, clipping, etc. and possibly exercising the horses.

Nunn

Northern Colorado
I offer colt starting, horse training, training and lesson packages for you and your horse. My groundwork program consists of: roundpenning, halter breaking, leading, lungeing, handling their ears and mouth (preparing for bridling), handling the horses feet, grooming, teaching them to stand tied, their first saddling/tacking, and trailer loading. I am willing to work with problem horses, and can customize the training with an emphasis on the area of the owner's choice. Some of the exercises I teach during training include: neck-reining, counter-bending, counter-cantering, leg yields, collection and extending of the gaits, softening at the poll, lead departures and changes, and moving with a relaxed headset. With my emphasis on bending, flexing and softening, your horse will become much more responsive in everything you ask of him. Get the most out of your horse's training by coming lessons, too. You'll progress along with him and everyone will be happier in the end. www.moonrakerqh.com 970-227-1408 9/16/07

Equine Synergism focuses on "problem" horses. We work with the horses everyone else has given up on! We only work with one horse at a time so you have our full devotion and attention! Some of our success stories include...the stallion who broke the farrier's anvil...the mare who chased everyone out of her stall with teeth bared and ears pinned...the mare who kept throwing herself over backwards anytime you tried to ride her...the gelding who absolutely, positively refused to load...and others. Can you see the pattern of the types of horses we do take in for "training"? The one condition we have for us to take your horse in training is that you come with him! The owner has to participate - no compromising on that issue. You are the one who has to live with the horse, not us. So, you may as well learn how to live together! Contact Vickie for more information and to set up your FREE evaluation!
