Any skilled horseman understands that true development doesn’t happen by chance, it’s the result of an intentional program built on consistency and set standards. Here at Ranch Horse University we have proven results that back our program’s structure. Our certification program develops horses that can carry their owners during an honest days work on the ranch, down the trail or to the winner’s circle in the arena.

During the initial stage of training individual components are isolated to foster understanding and control. However, if caution is not exercised there is the risk for micromanagement of individual parts (such as the head, neck, shoulders, rib cage & hip) to become a necessity. Our program differs in its belief that for a horse to ultimately learn, we must be willing to teach but also trust it to respond to cues with unity throughout its body. If one constantly assumes responsibility for the horse’s actions- how will it ever comprehend the expected standards?

RHU’s objective is to cultivate straightness, honesty and responsibility in our more advanced horses. Making them much more suited for non-pro ownership.

Here at RHU we train horses that don’t just learn to react, but learn how to process thought, think and respond. The result is a horse that is prepared, reliable, and confident- not just for the show pen, but for any path you ride down.
