TRAINING
Groundwork – The Thunder Ranch and Training Center motto is, “There’s No Such Thing as a Bad Horse, Just Bad Manners”. Having a horse that is respectful, responsive and soft for the rider begins on the ground. Even older horses can show signs of disrespect if left to their own devices not to mention younger horses that have never been taught properly, if at all.
Constant fear and intimidation are training techniques and methods of the past. Through today’s methods we reward for the slightest try and use only enough force as needed to acquire that slightest try.
We offer a variety of plans for groundwork training at the Thunder Ranch and Training Center or we can also come to your location within a 30 mile radius of the Ranch.

Tune Ups
