7 Day Training Program
&
3 Day Training Program
The 7 day program takes place one week out of each month. The 3 day program takes place from a Saturday through a Monday. They each consist of 3-4 horses. The programs are available to any horse at any stage of training, and any discipline. From a colts first ride to the seasoned horse. For the seasoned rider or the very beginner. Horse and rider learn feel and better communication with each other. Bruce encourages you to be present each day, but understands that work schedules can sometimes make that impossible. Maybe you can only be present in the afternoon or in the morning, in that case Bruce will arrange his day to make that possible for you. Or if you are not able to be there on a day, Bruce will work your horse without you. Depending where your horse and you are, Bruce may be doing all the work to start with, in which case he hopes you can be present to learn during that time.
Bruce will personalize the training for each horse and rider, depending on where you and the horses experience is. For example; if your horse is missing some of the foundation, then that's where the work begins. Some horses that come in are very disrespectful on the ground, and put the owner at risk of injury. Bruce will work with horse and rider to establish boundaries on the ground. Bruce believes the ground work goes right up into the saddle, if your horse is not respecting you on the ground, there is a good chance he is not respecting you in the saddle.
Young horses come in to be started under saddle for the first time. Seasoned horses or older horses come in with specific problems or just need the next level of training. Bruce will work with you to achieve the specific goals you are hoping to obtain. Some people bring their horses every year to participate in a "7 day program" as a continuation in their horsemanship. Other areas addressed in this program are; trailer loading, round penning, trail issues, or herd bound issues to name a few. Trail riding can be a part of the program. It is good mentally for the horse, and the rider has fun too. Every horse benefits from trail work. If the rider is not comfortable outside of the arena, Bruce will recognize that and adjust accordingly, he may take your horse on the trail himself, or just keep things in the arena.
Bruce wants each and every horse to have a Happy and Healthy mind. And for every owner to be the partner their horse has been waiting for.

Please call 360-538-7448 to schedule the month of your choice.Please note that this program fills up fast. To be assured of getting the month you want, please sign up early!
Please note: Some months have two 7-Day Programs. If there are 3 persons who want to do a program together, we can accomodate that in almost any month. So if you see a month you would like, and it already has a full clinic, not to worry, call and we will see what we can do.
Have you thought about a couples clinic? Two couples in a clinic is a lot of fun. In the evening after your hard work in the saddle enjoy sitting in the jacuzzi or sitting around the camp fire.
The 3-day program is set up the same as the 7- Day Program, but only 3 days. This is a good program for those not able to do the 7 days. Usually held on a Saturday through Monday. Call the office for available dates. If you have a group of 3 or 4 persons, you can choose almost any date and month you wish. Just call the office, at 360-538-7448
