TRAINING PROGRAMS

We specialize in training Youth and Adult Amateur riding horses in all disciplines. STTS will provide excellent starting services for young prospects 2 1/2 years** of age and up. We start from scratch in the round pen, introducing the bridle and long lines before mounting. We encourage our youngsters to be relaxed and to enjoy the training process so they strive to be an excellent riding partner. We also work with older horses that need a refresher. Whether you ride Dressage, Hunter/Jumper or Western Disciplines, your horse will understand the riders seat and leg. Included in our training: Clipping, Cross-Tie, Bathing, Loading, Hot Walker, Trail Riding, Traffic and Farrier.

**Your horse must be assessed for soundness and ability before entering into a training program. Mobile assessment fee is $75 and lasts about 90 minutes. You may also trailer in for an assessment, and the fee is $55 for about 90 minutes. This is a requirement, and your horse must be sound and able to receive training.

If your horse needs special care before training, Kim can consult you on your horse. Things such as chiropractic needs, shoeing and teeth may inhibit your horse from getting the most out of the training that you pay for. Kim can give you some direction on what your horse will need to enjoy its stay at STTS.
