Training at MtnTop Morgans
Well as of 2021 I have retired from training outside horses and will concentrate on my own. I am available on a consult bases so if you have issues or need some help please feel free to contact me. Thank you to my clients, past and future, for trusting me with your wonderful horses.
While not training outside horses I still feel that it is VERY important for the horse to be a "whole-horse" oriented in training. We believe in having the horses' overall well-being in mind - mental, emotional and physical. Trust and Respect is what is stressed here in our training programs. If you don't have respect on the ground with your horses then you won't have it under saddle. All our horses of any age learn superior ground manners; this makes your relationship with your horse more pleasant and in the end you will have a far happier horse. Horses learn what we consider just basic stuff which includes proper shoulder and haunches movement. Having control over the entire body. Learning to use their back etc. Soft and supple horses that are happy and love to learn are just a few things we work on here. There are many videos throughout my website that show training on horses from weanlings to fully trained.
The following links are just a few example of videos of how our horses are handled (from foalhood through riding) and what they are taught here at MtnTop Morgans. We will add to this collection as we show our horses in training and finished. Or you can go to YouTube and search for www.mtntopmorgans.com and all our videos should come up for your viewing pleasure.
**All horses, like people learn at a different rate. What one horse learns in 30 to 90 days is very different than another horse. Horses are trained here at the rate that the horse is capable of learning, starting with ground work and continuing on under saddle.
