Shelby County Equestrian Center

Welcome!

Most riding schools focus on just that ... riding. But in the world of a Horseman this is only one-fourth of the skills and knowledge we need to become safe and skillful with horses.

Horse owners ask us all the time how to solve specific behavior problems. If your horse is barn or herd sour, bites, won't trailer load, walks all over you, pushes into you, won't lead properly, won't stand for mounting and so on, then the main problem you have is a basic LACK OF RESPECT from your horse.

Horses are more than just a riding animal. They are an attitude on four feet. They also have instincts, thoughts and emotions about people and this determines how they will respond or react, positively or negatively. Understanding horse psychology is a big key to becoming skillful.

It isn't until you address this issue and gain your horse's respect and trust, that all these other problems will disappear. It cannot be stressed enough - stop looking for a "quick fix" and start working to gain your horse's respect. You will be amazed at the difference you will see in your horse, both on the ground and under saddle.

You've come to the right place to start that journey, we have the training, education and information that will make it easier. With the right tools and instruction YOU can turn your horse into the willing partner you've always wanted!
