Mark Jones Training Stables

Breaking-In


I invite the clients to be involved with the training from the beginning. I send my clients home with a complete package, not just the horse being well trained but you as well. There is no point taking the horse home and not being able to ride or handle it. So not only do I build a relationship with your horse, but I invite and show you how to do it too.

My breaking – in program is approximately 6-8 weeks, depending on the horse

Week 1 – 2
The first weeks usually consist of getting to know your horse and I start its training on the ground. Using the round yard I’ll teach your horse manners and get to accept the roller and bridle.
Week 2 -3
I start to progress to mouthing the horse a bit more and get it used to being saddled.
Week 3 – 4
By this week I am riding your horse and starting to drive forward while working on transitions.
Week 4 – 5
I then proceed to work out of the round yard and into the arena
Week 5 – 6
By this time if the transitions, suppleness, and manners of the horse are to my standards I then continue to go out on the road/trails for more exposure.

Taking no short cuts I can guarantee that my individual program will take your horse to the next step when its ready!
