Western Horse Training in Kentucky

I specialize in OTTB re-training, but I also train all breeds. I offer mobile training and horsemanship/ riding lessons. I help OTTB's transform into Western Riding. I use Natural Horsemanship to re-train TB's for their next career. I am mentored by a John Lyon's Certified Trainer. I am familiar with the racing world, and have worked on the back stretches of Hawthorne & Sportsman's Park and Balmoral Raceway all in Chicago area. Thoroughbreds are born & bred as elite athletes and they need some one who understands them to retrain their brain for a consistent and safe riding partner. Thoroughbreds are very brave & courageous, and have huge hearts, they have a lot to give for the right owner. Thoroughbreds are not for everybody-even lifelong horseman may not 'get' their personality. Please if you are thinking about owning one thru adoption, purchase or free..do not become frustrated or even in danger-send them to me for 30 to 90 days of retraining, and be involved. You will be grateful you did and have a wonderful partner! --Dawn... See More

We start colts in a low stress manner, taking the time to prepare them for their first saddling and their first ride, doing so with the help of another horse.
