In addition, we also produce and sell ho

rses that are well trained, safe, and dependable. Hannah Schultz has been dedicated to being the best horseman she could be from an early age. This passion for knowledge has led her to work with some of the top trainers in the United States, in both the clinician and performance horse fields. Having the experience in BOTH industries has shaped Hannahโ€™s training philosophy and teaching style, culminating in a program that gives you the best of both worlds: high level performance, but achieved through communication that the horse can understand. The key behind Hannahโ€™s philosophy in both training horses and teaching people is CUSTOMIZATION. Customizing a horseโ€™s training program to fit his future career yields far better results than forcing him into a cookie-cutter training regimen. People are no different โ€“ when working with riders, Hannah tailors the program to your experience, goals, discipline and weaknesses. Schultz Performance Horsemanship looks forward to helping you toward your horsemanship goals! Follow along for updates, training tips, videos, and inspiration!

Begin and end your riding sessions with a relaxing warm up and cool down to help your horse develop calm habits and a positive association with you and the training.

๐Ÿ. ๐‡๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐š ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง, ๐›๐ฎ๐ญ ๐›๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐จ ๐š๐๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง ๐ข๐Ÿ ๐ง๐ž๐ž๐๐ž๐.
Have a general plan and goals for your ride to give your horse clear direction and purpose, but stay flexible and adjust as needed based on your horseโ€™s behavior, mental state, or external conditions.

๐Ÿ‘. ๐ƒ๐จ๐งโ€™๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ.
Instead of getting carried away chasing perfection in one session, focus instead on teaching your horse in short, consistent increments.

๐Ÿ’. ๐“๐ž๐š๐œ๐ก ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ, ๐ซ๐ž๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐ž ๐š๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ ๐จ.
Teach a concept, and then refine it as the horse understands. Getting too picky before your horse understands the concept can cause confusion, frustration or anxiety

When and where you rest and reward your horse matters - it shapes habits, behavior and so much more.

๐Ÿ”. ๐†๐จ ๐›๐š๐œ๐ค ๐ญ๐จ ๐ ๐จ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ฐ๐š๐ซ๐.
If your horse is really struggling to learn something new or execute a maneuver, odds are there is a hole somewhere in your foundation. Go back to basics and rebuild if needed.

๐Ÿ•. ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž ๐›๐ž๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ก๐ž ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ.
A horse only has so much energy mentally and physically - donโ€™t exhaust your horse to the point where he canโ€™t do what you are asking or fry his mind with too much information.

๐Ÿ–. ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง.
Being consistent in your expectations, cues, and frequency of your training sessions is a MUST. It is unrealistic to expect consistency from your horse if you are not being consistent in how you are working with him.

๐Ÿ—. ๐“๐š๐ค๐ž ๐ž๐ฆ๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ž๐ช๐ฎ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง.
Emotion has no place in training horses - it influences your energy, body language, and communication. Corrections and boundaries should come from a place of calm and emotional stability.

๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ. ๐“๐ซ๐š๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ข๐ฌ ๐š ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐œ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ, ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐š๐ง ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ.
Kind of like putting quarters in a piggy bank, each training session slowly adds up, but it takes time to see big results - and that is perfectly normal.

As humans, it is so easy and natural for us to make statements, create excuses, and not take ownership. Shifting our perspective allows us to approach training with a whole different mentality - and get better results.โœจ

Horsemanship + Performance = Superior Results

Hannah Schultz has been dedicated to being the best horseman she could be from an early age. This passion for knowledge has led her to work with some of the top trainers in the United States, in both the clinician and performance horse fields. Having the experience in BOTH industries has shaped Hannahโ€™s training philosophy and teaching style, culminating in a program that gives you the best of both worlds: high level performance, but achieved through communication that the horse can understand.

The key behind Hannahโ€™s philosophy in both training horses and teaching people is CUSTOMIZATION. Customizing a horseโ€™s training program to fit his future career yields far better results than forcing him into a cookie-cutter training regimen.
