We are very selective about who we choose for volunteers, staff, and on site trainers. Our horse are unique, coming from varying backgrounds and traumas, some of which, we don’t fully know. Our rescues are looking for loving connection and trust, which is why we chose Dual B Training & Farrier Service to be our in house trainers.
We cannot afford to have trainers that believe in outdated training techniques that hurt more than heal.
My favorite thing about this picture (Finny is not a rescue, he’s a fresh pony learning to take a saddle) is that rearing and bucking are apart of horse training life sometimes and Baylinn’s demeanor is calm, steadfast, and patient. She knows what she’s doing and she confidently walks him through his steps without getting panicking on getting frustrated. This is what you need in a trainer.
Give them a call to set up a consultation.
Good horse training is not for the faint of heart. It requires bravery, calmness, and a steady presence to earn a horse's trust and guide them through new experiences. Breaking a horse to ride is a delicate process that demands patience, understanding, and a deep connection forged through mutual respect.
It’s about more than just teaching a horse to carry a rider—it’s about building a relationship. You need to communicate clearly, set boundaries with kindness, and be consistent in your expectations. Each horse has its own personality, fears, and learning pace. Some days are full of breakthroughs, while others test your resolve.
To be a good trainer, you must adapt to each horse’s unique needs, remain calm in the face of resistance, and celebrate small victories. True progress comes from understanding the horse’s perspective and working with them, not against them. It’s a journey of trust, growth, and partnership that’s as rewarding as it is challenging.
These things can take time and require unwavering patience to achieve these goals.
If you’re unsure where to start, whether your horse is green, needs a restart, or just a tune up, give us a call for a free consultation.
