 Micheal offers services in training as described on the About page. He uses a classique form of training based upon original training techniques developed by horse masters of France & original Californian Valcero Horsemen of Spanish/Mexican blood.

These techniques are longer & slower to encourage the correct muscle development. therefore the horse will be more willing & able.

Using gymnastic manoeuvres to soften & supple the horse at the walk; to encourage better engagement of the hind legs. So the end result is a horse soft from poll to croup.

These techniques can be applied from the high level dressage & reining horse to the novice pleasure horse, & any age of horse.

Micheal doesn't advocate the use of draw reins, side reins, twisted wire bits, gogs & chambons to force position of a horse  in a cruel & unjust fashion.

Rates
$40.00 + GST per day , accounts are 30 days. 2 weeks paid upfront.

Micheal has an assessment period of 60 days with a horse to  determine if the horse is suitable for what the client expects. after this period, horses are trained in 90 day blocks. with 30 days off spelling.
