Training Methods
The best interest of the horse is Erin’s number one priority. Her training methodology minimizes pressure and maximizes learning through a relaxed and systematic approach. Her slow and steady structure avoids any gaps in training.
Erin is careful to individualize programs to the fitness, conformation, and ability of each horse. She is sensitive to the feedback horses give so they will never be exhausted mentally or physically, because a tired horse is not conducive to learning.
She teaches horses to be respectful without being afraid, and to be sensitive without being reactive. The horses are forward thinking and moving, secure, and always eager to come out to work.
Training sessions are varied to keep horses interested. They include outside and covered arena work, cavaletti, and jumping (if appropriate). Erin does extra special little things for each horse just as if they were her own.
Training packages are available for starting young horses, horse and rider training, sale horses, and rehabilitation horses.
