C**t Starting, Horse training, ranch performance horsemanship Martin Ranch specializes in starting young horses. I start all of the colts with ground work.

Horses are a passion for me and I truly love to watch colts develop as they begin to understand what it means to perform actions, not just REactions. The training methods that I use in the beginning stages help to lay a solid foundation for every type of horse, regardless of the discipline. I have started a wide variety of horses that have gone on to be succesful in many different avenues includin

g working cow horses, trail/family horses, reining, dressage and jumping horses. Among various other things depending on what the horse is being trained for, I teach them to respect my space, give to pressure, accept the flag and handle their feet. How quickly the horse moves through the ground work phase of his/her training largely depends on how much he/she has been handled up to that point, each horse is unique so I do approach every horse a little differently. Generally I do spend at least a week on ground work. After I am on the horse I continue teaching the horse to move away from leg and rein pressure, as well as soften his/her neck laterally and vertically. after a few rides in the big corral we head out to some of the pastures and trails and log some quiet miles that allow for the horse to relax and think. I believe that most horses can benefit from being ridden outside checking cattle ect. however if the horse is going on to be a performance horse we do spend more time "schooling" teaching the basics of hip and shoulder control, loping circles and softening at the poll. Thankyou for your interest if you have any further questions you can call or text me on my cell @ 519-591-8728 or email me at [email protected]
