Training
Your horse is an athlete. As such, he requires constant physical training, both for endurance and for maintaining his education.
BTS training differs from lessons in that it involves both horse and rider. This program is for students with their own horses. Training programs are customized to allow for individual student/horse goals and follow the BTS Training Philosophies .
The two basic programs for training are;
- Full Training for horse and rider
- Half Training , for horse or rider
These programs involve the rider with every aspect of the horse's training, retraining or maintenance.
Full Training
Full Training is for horses that need the attention of one of the qualified trainers at BTS. This program is designed to take your horse to the point where you can continue on your own with guidance if necessary.
Full Training is also beneficial for the competitive or young horse that needs to be kept "schooled up" when the rider cannot always be as consistent as possible.
Full Training starts at $370 per month for the average horse, and may go as high as $470 for starting a horse that has not yet been under saddle.
Training rates include lessons for the owner/rider to involve them in the process of bringing their horse along. and includes all horse care services such as blanket service, supplement feed service (feed at extra cost), veterinary coordination, etc.
Half Training
Half training is designed as a "tune up" for the horse that has already been trained.
The rate for half training starts at $260 per month, and includes one ride per week by the BTS staff trainers and one lesson for the rider, or two lessons for the rider per week. During these lessons the rider will be given specific areas on which to concentrate in order to bring their horse along in a precise manner.
Half training includes all horse care services such as blanket service, supplement feed service (feed at extra cost), veterinary coordination, etc.
