In training a horse, there’s nothing more important than understanding how the horse sees the world he finds himself in. Horses are simple creatures. To be happy, they need food, companionship, and some room to play. As prey animals, their strongest instinct is to flee any scary or even questionable situation. So in order to ride them in stressful situations, their learned trust of their rider must overcome the strong basic instinct to run.

At Heavensgait Farm our foals learn from day one that the humans around them will not harm them. They are handled, played with, reprimanded fairly when necessary (just as they will be out in the herd), and generally taught not to fear the sights and sounds of the world they will be living in.
