Ladybug Stables offers horse "breaking" & training. Daisy will travel to your private stable & work with your horse a minimum of 2 times/week if you have the proper facilities.
Required facilities & equipment for STARTING or "BREAKING" a horse:
* A round pen 50' to 60' feet in diameter
* A riding area which is flat & at least 120' by 60' feet enclosed with fence
* An english saddle with safety stirrups, saddle pad & girth. If you do not
own a saddle, I can help you find one that fits your horse. We train
horses English or western. All horses are started with an English saddle,
for the safety of the trainer.
* A bridle and bit. The type of bit depends upon the horse but I usually a
medium to thick snaffle with D rings.
* Lunging & Ground Driving Equipment: Two (2) lunge lines, lunging
surcingle, lunge whip, crop & side reins.
Required facilities & equipment for TRAINING a horse:
(Training is what takes place after the horse can walk, trot & canter both directions in a controlled environment.)
* A riding area which is flat & at least 120' by 60'
* Lunging Equipment: One (1) lunge line & lunge whip
* An English saddle or Western saddle, properly fitted to your horse.
* A bridle & bit. The type of bit depends upon the horse but I usually a
medium to thick snaffle with D rings.
* If the horse is to be trained as a trail horse suitable trails & roads are a
must. An older quiet horse is a bonus to help the young horse along on his
first few outings.
The horse owners are encouraged to be involved in their horses training.
Each session includes a short lesson for the owner. This way, the owner will understand what is being done with their horse & how to handle & ride them properly. Owners that have limited experience on horseback are encouraged to take some riding lessons on the Ladybug Stables' school horses before mounting their own horse for the first time.
Training is available at Ladybug Stables, but space is limited.
