Training Both Horses and Their Riders
Finding the right horse trainer can be daunting. The first step is establishing your goal. If you want to have your horse prepared in a specific discipline for sale or competition, an established show record and success in marketing is crucial for your trainer to have.
If you are looking for a horse trainer that can not only train your horse, but train you to ride your horse, there are many factors to be considered. Are you looking to be more comfortable on a horse and ride recreationally? Do you have a specific discipline that interests you? Do you want to compete in horse shows? Are you wanting to have your horse trained to increase its market value?
The combined experience and national level accomplishments of Tommy Garland and his team ensure the highest level training of both horses and their riders. The common-sense approach they each take to building a horse’s confidence while effectively teaching them to perform at their highest ability sets #TeamGarland apart in the world of horse training and riding lessons.
Garlands focus is on training all disciplines for multiple breeds, while specializing in Arabian and Half Arabian horses. Tommy works closely with assistant trainers, Erica Reszitnyk and Sarah Grossi to help prepare horses and their riders for recreational riding, competition and marketing.
Training for Recreation
CPR Horsemanship is #TeamGarland’s tried and true method to recreational riding. Horses and riders alike learn Confidence, Patience and Respect. This common sense approach effectively instills the lessons you and your horse learn into every ride.
- Confidence: Being confident means a better riding experience for both you and your horse. Tommy and his #TeamGarland are experts at teaching you and your horse the confidence needed to enjoy your time in the saddle.
- Patience: Impatience leads to conflict. When patient training methods are present, your horse (and you) will be more relaxed, responsive to cues and calm in high pressure situations.
- Respect: A horse’s interpretation of respect may be different than a humans, but respect and trust are every bit as important to the learning process for a horse. Tommy and his #TeamGarland give you valuable tools that will help you ride your horse with consistent communication ensuring you and your horse clearly understand the task at hand.
Training for Competition
Experience is key when preparing your horse for competition. #TeamGarlands has vast experience in all the elements of training and preparing horses and their riders for competition. Their techniques have been universally accepted, respected and utilized by horse owners of all breeds and disciplines and have been reflected through countless awards at all levels of competition.
Preparing a horse for competition goes beyond training. It’s important for both horse and rider to build and keep up strength, agility, and stamina when competing. A proper diet is critical to achieving not only the strength and stamina needed, but also assists in creating a beautiful coat that makes your horse look like a champion.
Horses need different levels of fitness and muscle for different disciplines. #TeamGarlands spends each day with your horse learning their levels, strengths and weakness. Our trainers pay close attention to their horses’ response to cues where it relates to their muscle development and know what’s needed for proper care, including farrier and veterinary services that best suit each individual horse.
