🌟 Training opening in Gilroy, CA 🐴

Collin Curry has an opening in his training program for a project horse!

Collin is a highly skilled trainer specializing in natural horsemanship; he uses psychology-based techniques to inspire horses and help them enjoy and find their own motivation in training. Whether your horse needs a solid foundation and start under saddle or refinement in English or Western performance sports, Collin offers it all!
Horses in training have access to a stall or a pasture in a small herd and are immersed in training in arenas and/or on trails daily to ensure that your horse receives the education of a lifetime. Collin also provides private lessons and collaboration to ensure that you and your horse leave with a stronger bond and partnership than when the horse arrived.
If you want to enhance your horse's skills and build a strong bond based on trust and communication, don't miss this opportunity! PM for details!

We got the chance to go for a beautiful trail ride with some new friends in El Dorado hills just outside of Sacramento California. It was the perfect outing for our little 3 year old gelding Aspen ! He is doing so well for his 4th trail ride and this one had a long bridge that would test even the most seasoned horses confidence! ( if you listen close you can here the noise coming from the bottom of the bridge) As usual with a great foundation of confidence and understanding these young horses continue to impress us! This is your sign to give your young horses some extra credit today😊

Sometimes the arena just won’t cut it ! The key to any good equine is adding an element of fun into their schedule. The trail does just that! These two learned about self carriage by trotting and cantering through these beautiful trails here in California, and with these views I can definitely add that it was a ride for our souls also!

Doosey is trying her best to learn today she decided that my ask was to load up in the mounting block... I guess that’s one way to sidepass from the front 😅 love her someone is really going to enjoy this one !

When you can find the cows but want to work on a moving target my little friend Leif is up to take the cows place! This is doosey and her first time doing any tracking , normally the cows would make it more lively but Leif helped to keep her feeling successful 😊 if anyone is interested in a nice little mule let me know !!!!

Pete is still available due to no fault of his own , don’t miss out on this amazing horse!!!!!

11/19/2020

Made a quick voice over video of Pete from our ride the other night. Anyone who is interested, he is still available 😊

Having fun warming up Covergirl , helping her understand the goals for everything I do with her. The stronger warmup we do the better connection we have when I’m in the saddle. Something so many forget about with their mules.

11/10/2020

I’m so proud of how Covergirl is doing with starting her bridleless😊

Looking for your next riding partner? Pete may be the horse for you . This is a horse that I started as a 2 year old , he then went to my good friend Dave Sweeney who furthered his experiences. He has taken him to many roping events and brandings dragging calves to the fire. I could see this horse being a great 4h horse or ranch horse. Smooth gates and has a good handle that is safe for most riders. If interested send me a private message or call/text Collin at 515-975-9261
