Young Horse Training

a thoughtful start

Posterity Ranch understands that the young years for a horse are the building blocks to the rest of its life and career. Our program’s focus is on creating positive experiences that encourage horses to think & understand situations and look to their human partners for guidance. Years of expansive experience and continuing education have given us the insight to work with the true nature and brain of horses as a species, moving us beyond a cookie-cutter approach. We approach training with patience and carefulness, to avoid the outdated approach of teaching through fear.

how we do it

Our facility is built with all the right things for a young horse. We start with groundwork in our custom-built 75’ round pen, including saddling, bridling, tying, long-lining, and basic handling. We move into under saddle work as the horse tells us they are ready, eventually graduating from the round pen to the grass arena. We are fortunate to have 232 fenced acres to explore when each horse is ready for solo and group trail rides.

working with you

We understand that young horses are brought up with human dreams & goals in mind. While working with your horse, we keep your short and long-term plans as a goal post for our work. Whether you are looking for a trusted weekend trail partner or a high-level show horse (or both!), we will work with you to ensure we are building your horse’s skills to do that job. We will work with you, your trainer, or the entire team to focus on the areas that are most important for you and your horse.
