-Painted Star Stables Training Principles and outline

Here at Painted Star Stables we put the relationship first above all else. The horses opinion always matters. The training sessions and speed taken on each task is tailored and adjusted for each horse as a Individual. We train based on Equine Physiology, so we discover each individual horses personality and uncover their needs, wants and abilities. Using that to help each horse gain Confidence, softness, and willingness. We Play with horses, we do not work them, we have fun and perform as willing and fluent partners. We treat each horse like it were our own, with love and respect, forming a bond and a relationship with the horse is very important to gain respect from the horse. We use Natural Horsemanship methods, primarily Parelli methods, we never punish or inflict pain on a horse, we use pressure to motivate and the release of pressure at the slightest try to teach to promote softness in our cues and communications. We use Love, Language and Leadership in Equal Doses always. Our Clients horses leave our facility being Willing, Confident, partners that make grate Trail horses and even youth mounts and can go on with more advanced training to compete in a number or events. We build the foundation for you to go on and do anything you can dream of. So start today and reach for your dreams.
