The most important thing to have when starting your young horse is a good foundation. Without this, you will have continuous problems popping up. Here at Hidden Treasure Horse Training, I strive to make sure every young  horse I start has a good foundation and fundamentals to become a willing and solid riding partner; no matter which discipline you choose.

Do you have an already started horse that has been a pasture puff for a little while? Ready to start riding again, but dreading what fireworks those first few rides will bring? Did you save a horse from the auction and not sure what you have? Bring your horse to Hidden Treasure Horse Training. I believe your horse is a hidden treasure. Let me make your diamond in the rough shine. In photo: Candy (left) had some bad habits under saddle when asked to work. She would mildly rear and crow hop. Since, she has become an unflappable trail horse with eagerness to hit the trail. In doing this, she was able to find her forever home.

Many people think that if you send your horse to the trainer, you're good to go. That may be the case for some. Here at Hidden Treasure Horse Training, I want you to have the best working relationship possible. This means that you will need to know what I have taught your horse. I will show you what your horse knows after training and then work closely with you to ensure that you and your horse are working together efficiently. This will provide you with the experience and knowledge to enjoy working with your horse. It will also enable you to decide what step is next for you and your best friend.
