The Woods Program: ($950.00/per month)
Our Woods Program is a great program for young or green horses that need miles. Horses in this program begin their training at Thunder Spirit Ranch but in their 3rd week in training they spend the week camping at Spruce Woods Provincial Park. While there, they spend 3-7 hours per day being ridden in the sandy hills. This offers great exposure to the horses in an unfamiliar setting and all the extra time in the saddle improves the horses training skills significantly more than the traditional training. This is a great option for those that want a solid trail horse but has also proven to be very effective in resetting a sour show horse!
Training with Showing: ($850.00 per month plus show entries and travel costs)
Many people know that the first few shows for a horse can be very overwhelming for them, and stressful for you. We can do it for you! Horses are in regular training for their discipline(s) and we haul them to shows and enter them in their classes and help them settle into their new jobs. This is also a great option for those that simply don't have the time it takes to consistently put show miles on their horse. You can choose how often your horse goes to a show whether it be once or even several times per month.
5% GST must be added to all prices.
