Professional Training
From green horses to show horses, we tailor custom programs for you and your equine partner.
Benefits of Professional Training
-
Horses learn through repetition and consistency and are athletes who need conditioned regularly. Being a part of a program enables you to keep your athlete working year round, without compromising your own time.
-
Horses are a financial investment and need to be maintained in peak performance as to not depreciate. With good training and a show record, often times horses will appreciate in value.
-
We want horses who are willing and relaxed. A foundation that is put in with patience and love encourages an equine partner who needs less maintenance and tune-ups in the long haul.
-
With a diverse group of trainers, we have had the opportunity to work with the gambit of breeds for jumping. This means we are capable of supporting your horse to be the best athlete that it can be.
-
You have the time to provide the consistency, but we all hit roadblocks sometimes. Or individual training contacts can be used to help troubleshoot any problems.
-
It is important to us that we have willing and comfortable athletes, so we have varying therapies scheduled regularly to ensure optimal performance. We are fortunate to have CSU Equine Sports Medicine in our back yard for world class performance veterinary support in designing tailored plans.
Philosophy
We believe in classical training methods, which means that we extensively flat our horses and use cavaletti. It is our belief that a course consists of 10 individual jumps, which will test riders in varying ways. We try to isolate and master each of these tests being asked by increasing responsiveness from our horses to our aids.
Horse require consistency to perform at their best, and so we offer part and full time training options to help you keep your horses at peek performance. We also offer individual rides in case your horse needs the occasional tune up.
Our experience
At Four Winds, we have professionals with an extensive combined experience of over 80 years around the nation at all levels of the Show Jumping sport, as well as international experience. Be assured that your horse will be getting a well rounded education that will develop a responsive, kind performance horse. They will receive extensive ground work (longing) and be attentive and respectful in hand as well as under saddle.
Four Winds has ample experience with sport horses from foaling, to being saddled for the first time through building show competitors at the upper levels of our sport. We also have had great success restarting thoroughbreds from the track for the show arena.
