| TRAINING, LESSONS & HORSE EXERCISING |
| Animal Keepers Act in effect Waivers required |
| Private & group riding lessons are at least 45 minutes of riding plus 'theory' to teach you about the proper care and handling of your horse. At this time Ken is only able to work with people who own their own horse. A lead line riding lesson is for the younger ones who would like to get an early start on riding. Half an hour on the lunge line for better supervision and safety. Beginner to Intermediate levels of riding. English and Western. |
| Groundwork, troubleshooting and training are based on the Natural horsemanship principles which have been used by many horsemen such as the Dorrance brothers, Ray Hunt and Buck Brannaman. Horsemanship clinics can be arranged - Click here for more info |

| Ken has a keen eye and a patient hand with horses. He teaches a horse respect for the human by helping the horse understand that the human is Number 1 in his herd. Horses naturally look for a leader and have no problem learning and living by this principle. It works and it results in a happier and safer horse. |

| Yes we do teach safety, but occasionally our young people don't think like we do. It is nice to know all the training we put into a horse makes occasional misjudgements a little more likely to have a pleasant outcome. This is RDK Witezon Playa wearing a grass skirt for Hallowe'en. While we had visions of rodeo, Playa had no problems with it at all. |

| Are you out of commission for a bit and would like someone to keep your horse going for you? Need someone to put some time on your horse for exercise or tune-up? We can arrange a "per ride" schedule to suit your needs. Our location only - outdoor board available or you haul. |
