TRAINING PROGRAMS

We specialize in training Youth and Adult Amateur riding horses in all disciplines. STTS will provide excellent starting services for young prospects 3 years of age and up. We start from scratch in the round pen, introducing the bridle and long lines before mounting. We encourage our youngsters to be relaxed and to enjoy the training process so they strive to be an excellent riding partner. We also work with older horses that need a refresher. Whether you ride Dressage, Hunter/Jumper or Western Disciplines, your horse will understand the riders seat and leg. Included in our training: Clipping, Cross-Tie, Bathing, Loading, Hot Walker, Trail Riding, Traffic and Farrier.
