Full Training
Full training involves your horse being worked 4 times per week. Depending on if he/she is being started, finished, or somewhere in between, they will be lunged, ground driven, worked over cavaletti, and trail ridden as weather allows, in addition to normal riding. I train based on the Classical training scale - Rhythm, Relaxation, Connection, Impulsion, Straightness, and lastly Collection. I also work on impeccable ground manners. $350/Month
There is limited room for boarding at Endless Valley Stables. Contact Steve Murphy for availability. Facilities include an indoor arena with sound system and heated viewing room, heated tack room, 3 heated bathrooms (two with showers), satellite TV in the viewing room, retail store on site, WI-FI, indoor and outdoor wash stalls, large outdoor arena, and LOTS of challenging trails. Call Steve regarding lodging and camping options also.
New for 2012 Winter Training Package
New for this year I will offer a Winter Tune Up package. $800 for 3 mos of training. Horses will be worked 3 times a week, in the arena and on the trail, weather permitting. This will be focused on getting horses physically and mentally ready for whatever your plans may be during the summer. Physical training includes hill and caveletti training, as well as long lining. To ensure sane horses when you hit the trail or show grounds we will work on the ground and in the saddle on desentizing with giant balls, noodles tarps, and anything else under the barn roof! A day less per week than full training makes this an affordable and highly beneficial option!
Lessons or Partial Training
Partial training involves you and I working together with your horse 1 - 2 times per week on riding and/or groundwork. I provide you coaching that you can use between sessions. Riding lessons are done on your horse. We will focus on developing a balanced seat, patience, and independent aids. Learn to create throughness without the use of artificial aids or coercion. Lessons and training sessions are aprox 1.5 hr long. $25.00/Session ($35 if I travel to you)
Training notes are kept on each session and will be e-mailed to you on a monthly basis so you can track your horse's progress. Training logs powered by
