TRAINING
Our Approach to Training
Blending Tradition and Care for Balanced, Effective Training.
Led by Seth, our training focuses on imprinting discipline and desensitization, creating horses that are not just obedient but safe for both people and animals. Each horse undergoes comprehensive ground work and temperament testing, regardless of its previous training, to ensure that it can become a trustworthy, well-rounded riding companion.
Our focus
At Flower Hill Ranch, we are not training horses for rodeo events or specialized disciplines. Instead, we aim to equip horses with the essential skills needed to thrive in everyday life and farm operations.
Groundwork & Temperament Testing
Every horse is assessed for temperament, and groundwork training is the first step in building a solid foundation. This stage is critical for creating trust and responsiveness in the horse.
Imprinting Discipline
Our training instills discipline in the horse, ensuring it listens to commands and behaves appropriately in various situations. We focus on desensitizing the horse to common stimuli, making it safe for family environments.
Desensitization for Safety
Safety is our top priority. Horses at Flower Hill Ranch are trained to handle real-life situations calmly and confidently. This includes learning to remain composed when exposed to unfamiliar sights, sounds, and experiences, ensuring they are well-suited for family life or farm work.
Skills We Develop
Farm & Family Readiness
We prepare horses to be assets on the farm, able to work and integrate into daily life with ease. From working in the field to being around children, our horses are trained to adapt and assist in a variety of roles.
Safe Riding
Horses are trained to respond to commands promptly and with consistency, ensuring they can be ridden safely and confidently by riders of all experience levels. Whether you’re going for a leisurely trail ride or working on the farm, our training ensures that your horse is calm, steady, and dependable in any situation.
Loading & Leading
A well-trained horse should load into a trailer easily and lead without resistance, making handling much easier and safer. We teach horses to follow cues calmly and without hesitation, ensuring that transportation and daily tasks are stress-free for both horse and handler.
