Please Note:
As with any animal, horses can be unpredictable. For any training session, we highly recommend that the horse has been evaluated by a vet for any issues such as ulcers, joint pain, diseases such as EPM, PSSM, HYPP, etc. Along with have proper, recent foot care with a farrier as well as dental care by either a vet and/or equine dentist (each state will have different requirements). Proper saddle fit is also important, especially for riding activities. We highly recommend regular chiropractic and massage care for horses to keep them feeling their best.
