Our Basic Training Program |
At Heritage Ranch, our goal is to develop sound, well-trained riding stock. While our overall training program has emphasis on Western pleasure riding, the necessary fundamentals have been developed to allow further training for a variety of other disciplines.
We strive to produce horses for every level of experience.
Ground work includes halter training, de-spooking, standing while tied, lunging, acceptance of tack, herd socialization, trailer loading and unloading and hoof care.
Mounted work includes reining, opening and closing of gates, log pulling, lead changes, water crossings, and walking over unstable surfaces such as wood bridges, drop-offs, etc.
Our aim is to produce just the best darned trail horse you have ever ridden.
Many horses will have the prospect of going further, having the fundamentals firmly ingrained, allowing you to decide what other spheres of training you might want to explore.
Some of our horses will have only been used as broodmares, or bought as broodmares for resale. Geldings are both purchased and raised and after training are available for purchase.
Yearlings will be started in the training process, but will be available for sale after being halter-broke.
We know you have many choices as to where to purchase your riding stock, and just as many training philosophies to consider. However, if you’re looking for the simple, natural method, you have stumbled onto the right place with Heritage Ranch.
If you enjoy the cowboy way, give us a call and perhaps you can be our guest here at the Ranch. And who knows, you just might go home with your Trigger.
At the very least, give us a call and let’s talk cowboy.
