The staff at Top Venture has significant experience
starting and bringing along numerous young horses up through the competition ranks. They provide all of the young horses with
a correct "start". Basic ground manners such as: leading, using the crossties, standing for the farrier/vet, loading,
etc. receive equal attention to riding basics. Natural horsemanship, lunging, free lunging, free jumping, hacking out cross
country, introduction to side reins, vienna reins and long lining are all incorporated into the young horse program. They
recognize that every horse progresses in a way different from the next; therefore, flexibility remains prominent, as each
horse receives a customized program specific to its progression. All of the young horses, dressage and jumping horses alike, participate
in a "cross-training" program, consisting of solid flatwork/dressage basics, jumping/gymnastics and hacking out.
There is a greater focus on whichever discipline the horse seems to excel, but they believe that cross training betters their
mind and heightens athletic performance. If you would like more information about our young horse training, please feel free
to email.
