Training
We take on any horses in need, no matter how minor—from troublesome horses to simple foundation. We prefer to bring all horses back to the fundamentals, emphasizing groundwork to help them develop self-confidence and a stronger relationship with their handler. This works well, in our opinion, to identify any gaps in their training and ensure that all the fundamentals are covered. We emphasize the R+ training method since we think it results in a happy and eager attitude from our horses. We think that every horse learns differently and at a different rate, and we don't rush them. We modify our strategies and plans to suit each horse's needs in order to provide a program that is effective. Due to Copperview Farms' 140 acres, we are privileged to be able to hack our green horses and expose them to experiences both inside and outside of the arena. We are eager to learn about your horses' needs, develop a customized plan, and hear about your goals.
Our full training program offers all the same inclusions as the silver board package as well as five days a week training. We also offer a semi training package which is three days a week training and two lessons. Cost is $1200.00 plus gst
