This year we’ll begin starting horses a bit later, from APRIL onward, as it looks like we’ll be traveling around the Czech Republic in March. 

How do trainings work with us?
During schooling, your horse gets its own stall and care with feed and water available 24/7, daily mucking out, and fresh bedding.
Training sessions take place at least 5–6 times per week, with at least one mandatory rest day. 

In short: For basic starting under saddle, it’s recommended that the horse stays with us for at least 2 months; with additional work out on the trail/terrain, 3 months. If we’re advancing the horse’s knowledge based on the owner’s wishes and goals (discipline training, etc.), the horse can remain in training longer.

In basic starting, for at least the first two weeks we work only from the ground: learning fundamental exercises (not being afraid of objects like whips, ropes, bags, plastic sheets, ground obstacles, etc.), lunging, exercises for backing up, yielding the forehand and hindquarters, accepting a rider bareback, and then accepting the saddle. After that, the horse is ridden in a rope halter, which we use during training; later we move to a rope hackamore or sidepull, and only once we can ride all three gaits (walk, trot, canter), steer left and right, and do exercises for softness of the head and body—in short, once the basics are in place—we introduce a regular single‑jointed snaffle. 

We first carry out the exercises in a round pen, then in a larger arena, and afterwards—if the owner wishes—also out on trail/terrain. Everything we work on inside the enclosure can later be transferred outdoors and further developed. It’s important to know that the process of starting a horse depends very much on the individual horse. Horses are just like us: some need more time for certain things, others pick them up right away. And all the knowledge they gain later needs to be maintained (practice, training)—you don’t get something for nothing. We also place a big emphasis on owners. The owner’s presence matters a great deal, because it’s good for you to learn to work with your own horse during training, so that when the horse comes home you’ve built your own connection and cooperation—and avoid unnecessary problems later. 

We also offer care and stabling of horses  (boarding available).

Spots fill up quickly, so don’t delay reserving your term.
