Training
Taking a horse-first approach to the training process. Training through principles of classical dressage and holistic horsemanship, horses learn through a whole horse approach which sets them up for success in any direction. Horses are unique and so is the training process and each training session is tailored to each horse.

Restart/Rehab
Performance horse restarts or solving anxiety in performance horses isn’t only for dressage horses in this program. HRH has welcomed everything from cutting horses, Mexican rodeo horses, eventing horses, show jumping horses, professional rodeo horses and many other disciplines. Classical horsemanship is for all horses of all disciplines and education levels. By taking an approach focused on biomechanics and posture, horses find balance both physically and mentally which allows them to perform at their best.
Supplemental Work
Offering sessions that provide supplemental work to a performance horse's regular training through classical in-hand work. These sessions aim to improve a horse's performance through improving posture and biomechanics.

Did you know that in 2023 HRH worked with over 20 feral or formerly feral horses? Its safe to say that the ferals are a favorite!
Each horse’s gentling process is at their pace with a mindfulness of equine behavior and psychology. Horses are provided with an education that will set them up for success in their new lives.
Formerly feral horses are welcome in training too! Having an understanding of the gentling process and feral horses means that you’ll have an understanding trainer guiding your horse through education

Off the Track Thoroughbreds benefit greatly from training focused on biomechanics, posture, and classical horsemanship. Much of the beginning stages in helping an OTTB into their new career is focused on teaching them to develop a good working posture and to help them regulate their nervous system. Once horses become more advanced, teaching skills like picking up the correct lead, flying changes, jumping, and more can be taught to these incredibly versatile horses.

Lessons
Lessons are available for you and your horse for both groundwork, and riding. Lessons can be partnered with training sessions to give owners an opportunity to have a hands-on session with their horse to better understand what the horse has been learning in training. Like training, lessons are available for you and your horse in the comfort of your facility.
Lessons focus on both riding and discipline specific goals, but also on horsemanship. This means that it focuses on skills that are important to becoming a better horseman for the betterment of the horse. Some skills taught are confidence building, understanding of equine behavior, and problem solving. Just like with training, horsemanship skills are tailored to the specific horse-human team to create success.
Travel lessons available on a limited basis.
