Our Trail Training Courses offer our WHR "safety first" approach to trail riding. We have years of outback trail experience and promote "performance trail riding" practices which produces a well rounded horse who'll trust their riders leadership and go "anywhere you ask of them".

We cover safety prep & situation tactics training & horsemanship for all phases of pleasure trail riding from country roadside riding to rough terrain/desert/mountain trails and back country riding. We include conditioning horse & rider to handle "spooky" obstacles & challenging situations with confidence and composure, with desensitizing sessions in the arena & with hobble training. We'll also address squaw hobble training, highline tying, trail tack uses & applications for horse camping.

Geared for horse people interested in better performance from their horse out on the trail, in Trail Competitions or Extreme Cowboy events. You'll gain new confidence building skills for both you and your horse as we work together navigating through rocks, creeks, bogs, sandy washes, over logs, bridges, and many more hazards both in our trail courses & in natural settings. We also cover how to prevent problems with group riding and ultimately…how to produce a versatile obedient trail horse through collection & proper horsemanship..

You'll receive practical "hands on" experience while riding either in the scenic Dragoon Mountains and Cochise Stronghold country of southeast Arizona or.. our high desert Hells Canyon country and mountains of the Eagle Cap Wilderness in NE Oregon. Our ranch locations are challenging, fun and exciting for any level rider.

Classes vary from 4-6 days with occasional Return Rider excursions. Private Clinic Sessions can be arranged by appointment. Call for availability.
