MY SERVICES
For my training program, I specialize in incorporating positive reinforcement and clicker training involvement into a dressage foundation. Positive reinforcement involves the use of food and offers a force-free, highly communicative method to understanding and shaping horse behavior. Clicker training proves especially useful for problem horses, starting horses under saddle, and various extents of groundwork, including trick training, while also drastically benefitting performance in sport horses.

LESSONS
TREAT YOUR HORSE LIKE A HORSE
Our program recommends free-choice, low NSC grass hay, with alfalfa portions according to weight. Vitamin E, flax, magnesium, and psyllium powder are great additions to any supplemental program. Horses are social creatures with an instinct to graze and stomachs built for consistent intake; we prove that The Three F's - friends, forage, and freedom - are essential to creating a sustainable, healthy lifestyle for every horse. Therefore, we believe educating owners is as important to the program as training the horse.
​
Meyer Horsemanship works closely with our veterinarians, acknowledging that prevention, lifestyle, and nutrition are as important as recovery. "No hoof, no horse;" farrier scheduling and services are recommended within our program.
