Dave Collins, Horse and Mule Trainer, Louisiana.  Contact: 318 255 2150

Collins Natural Horsemanship is pleased to now train ponies as well as horses.  I am delighted that Heather, who is an extremely accomplished rider, is working with me on this.  

Heather will start with the ground work of your pony.  

This involves desensitizing him and teaching him how to face his fears. Your pony will be trained in exactly the same way as the colts are.

Once Heather and your pony trust each other, she will then make that all important first ride. 

As well as being taught in the arena your pony will also go out on the trail and learn how to cross water, negotiate different terrain and cross bridges.

Heather is also an accomplished barrel racer so, if you desire, she can teach your pony the barrel pattern and poles. She can turn your pony into the perfect play day pony.

The first pony we trained together was Jasmine, a Welsh pony.  Jasmine has now finished her training and is back home with her 7 year old owner in Akansas.
