Horse Training

We are currently not accepting new horses in for training. Please reach out to us with any questions you may have!

Complete Equestrian believes in strong foundations for our equine friends. We believe that if it can’t be done on the ground, it can’t be done in the saddle. From starting to finishing your horses, gentle techniques are always used. We strive to cater to your horses learning needs. All horses, no matter discipline, personality or experience are accepted into our program.

Each horse is unique, so an individual training program will be set for your horse. After assessing your horses specific needs, goals will be set during their training period to allow them to achieve greatness.

Our comprehensive program encourages your involvement in your horses training program. This is to allow for the smoothest transition of your horses new techniques.

Starting your horse may involve some of the following techniques:

  • Leading and Tying
