Horse Training - The Diamond D Difference

What makes Diamond D's Horse Training different?  Well, we already emphasized our small program, but we will go through the specifics.   We do not take in more than a few training horses at a time to ensure each horse is getting all the time needed to reach the goals we discuss and agree upon in advance.  We also use a variety of tactics to get your horse in shape and making solid moves to perform their best.  We go trail riding on hills to build strength in muscles and mind - this builds amazing balance and powerful hind ends.  We teach solid dry work in the arena so the horse can focus on moving in the proper manner of an athlete instead of being distracted by cows or other horses riding around.  We can also take your horse to shows to help season them in a way that exposes them safely to build their minds.  We encourage our training horses to develop and maintain their spirits.  We do not wear them down or over do maneuvers.  And the most impactful difference between us and others?  We show YOU how to do what we have taught your horse.

We Teach You

We don't just teach your horse, will we teach you what we have taught.  

Serious Work, Without Abuse

 We train with intention.  We will learn your goals and the horse's capabilties, and train with a realistic purpose in mind.

Variety of Tactics

From dry work, to cow work, and even trail riding, we blend whatever tactics are needed to develop your horse.

We will make an honest assessment on what we can do to build your horse to be the best it can be...

Hire a trainer that asks about your goals and tells you honestly what the horse can develop into - otherwise, you might end up with a trainer that you will throw money away at, or that uses short cut techniques that beat the horse into doing something, which damages their trust, spirit, and physicality.

Your horse will need their energy while being trained, and we insist on proper, high quality nutrition and supplements to help build an athlete.  We also coordinate veterinary visits, farrier work, and chiropractor work needed for your horse, by your approval.  We are picky on our providers, and expect the best services from them.
