Enchanted Oaks Equestrian Center

TRAINING PROGRAM GOALS
Our goal here at Enchanted Oaks is to produce happy, healthy, and well cared for horses. Our program consists of lunging, riding (english and western), conditioning, natural horsemanship, ponying, cavaletti, halter and showmanship, trail, desensitization and sacking out, lunge lessons, ground driving, trailer loading, clipping, bathing and more.
Whether you are a competitive rider in the arena or just like to relax on the trails this training program will work for you. Many 2 and 3 year olds have been broken out and have gone on to be quiet trail horses, safe lesson horses, and winners in the show ring. Or if you have that older broke horse that has been out to pasture and needs to be reconditioned for the upcoming show season or for the trails we can go back through the basics and get him ready.
