Riding in the winter can help make the spring zoomies less zoomy 😁

Interested in getting a gaited trail horse? Here is what your rides might look like!

In this footage are 2 Missouri Fox Trotters, 3 Tennessee Walking Horses, and one gaited mutt :)

When you meet dirt bikers on the trail, you can use it as a training opportunity and public relations! Annette Beair

Getting back into the swing of training on Freedom! She is a 3yo TWH who has completed the first phase of her training and is now with me to get some trail miles.

Hi there! It's been a while since I've posted anything on my training page, but here's a fun video of Phantom and Bit doing a complex trail obstacle.

Sometimes you come across things on the trail that test you and your horse's capabilities. This tree was across a seasonal road that is in a deep trough in places. Here our horses have to go up a steep incline, bushwhack through saplings, go over a large log, and hop down on the other side.

I've never asked Phantom to do anything like this but he demonstrates willingness to try anything I ask and he has the fundamentals.

This is an amazing opportunity for anyone who can participate! There are opportunities for every level of trainer this year. Apply to be a trainer before April 1st! (Mario and I are in this clip!)

This is my c**t Phantom. He is a 3yo Tennessee Walking Horse/Rocky Mountain cross. This video shows the last few sessions we've done, which includes introducing some obstacles but more importantly, introducing gait training! I have labeled different parts of the video to help people identify what's going on.

I try to introduce gaiting slowly and not ask too much of the young untrained horse. He is currently barefoot and ridden in a solid snaffle. As you can see, he mostly sets himself in a natural frame. All of this will be refined over time.

As the weather improves we will start doing some light trail riding.

And as some of you know, since I decided to adopt Mario, Phantom will not be staying with me. He will be going to Maggie Folk this summer. They are going to make an AMAZING team and I'm so excited!

Phantom update coming tomorrow!

Welcome

CK Horse Training and Consulting is just the formal designation for my passion: helping people experience the world from the back of a horse.

While there are many equine disciplines, my interest and experience is trail riding and camping. There is nothing that enriches my soul more than being in nature with my horse. Whether we’re exploring new trails, experiencing breath-taking views, or tackling difficult terrain, there is always a sense of awe and accomplishment. Being an independent horseman or woman is empowering, and I want others to tap into this feeling!
