Our philosophy: Every horse needs a job,
whether it be to drive, ride, or simply have a foal every year. At NPF, we
want to give you the best training possible because we don't want your money, we
want your happiness. We base all our training around making your and your
horse a team! We ask you your goals and lay out a schedule of training to
meet those goals. We expect the owner to take active part in the training
and expect weekly lessons with our trainer and the horse. We will evaluate
your horse for one week, free of charge, to determine if your horse can meet
your goals. We will advise you on what your horse may be willing to do and
offer you the opportunity to change your training goals, or to take your horse
back home.
Driving is our specialty. We start with ground work and finish through the
"hooking" process and mileage under the harness.
All of our training programs include four lessons each month with the owner. See our
training contract for more information.
We also start young horses under saddle, or tune up older horses that need some reminders. We do not do any show ring training.
We have many references to give you, please request a list.
Here are some interesting articles on training.
1) No Tom Thumb Bits, Please! (a message from your horse)
2) On the bit (listening to your horse)
3) Training games for kids and their mounts
4) Horsemanship Part I - and how to listen to your horse
5) Why NPF does not start horses under saddle before 3 years old and sometimes waits until 4 years old.
6) A study of TWHBEA gaits (I recommend reading this article if you're into the gaited horses.)
7) Why do horses GAIT? A controversial article on inherited gaiting genetics.
