Equine Development
We offer a limited number of spots each year for remedial and development programs for horses, ponies, donkey and mules of any age, breed or discipline at our farm just outside of Rimbey, Alberta.
We try to make it as fair as we can for everyone to get their horses help.
Due to the nature of a horse-led program we can not fairly offer bookings for specific dates or time frames. To apply, you can fill out the following form. When a horse goes home, the empty spot is filled from the list starting at the top. If you are contacted about an opening you may choose to take the spot or defer for a later one. You may defer up to 3 times, after which you will be bumped to the bottom of the list. Once your horse is in a program, the spot is theirs as long as they need it.
We are located just outside of Rimbey, Alberta. You are welcome to come watch some sessions to decide if this is going to be the right program for you and your horse.
A $200 deposit is required to get on the list, this deposit is then applied to your horse’s initial training fees.

We will generally know within the first week or two how much work your horse will likely require to get him where you want and we can discuss then whether it fits within your time and/or financial constraints.
