Colt Breaking for Unbroke Horses: ALL Ages & ALL Breeds Accepted!
  • Only Requirement is that your horse is halter broke and leadable.
  • This is a basic ground work program, including tying, grooming, tacking, lunging, manners while leading and basic bathing. Things like teaching your horse to clip and trailer are NOT part of the program, however can be negotiated into a specialized program.
  • The main focus of the colt breaking program is to teach the horse to accept the saddle, bridle and rider without fear.
  • Second, the horse will learn basic commands such as walk foreward, halt from voice and seat, and turning off the leg. Many horses are cantering undersaddle by the end of 30 days.
  • Pricing: $395 per month for the first 2 months PLUS board. *See facilities page for boarding information.
Why send your horse here?

  • Reason 1: Meet Trainer Katie Flanigan: Not just your average horse trainer-
  • "I began riding at the age of 4. I come from a completely non-horse related family, was raised in town and yet somehow at an early age horses is all I wanted to do. My mother got me lessons at the age of 6 I have been riding and showing horses ever since. Now that's what I call a passion! To learn more about my riding history you can go to my home page and click on the meet the trainer link. But what you may be wondering is why choose me for your next prospect.
  • I never had the privilege of purchasing a finished horse. From a very young age I began exploring with different training techniques. I have a strong foundation in basic dressage which I believe helps create a balanced and responsive horse for any discipline. All my horses learn the basics of balance, suppleness and responsiveness.
  • I began buying and re-selling project horses early in college. I have had everything from off-the-track TB's, unruly warmbloods, unbroke ponies, 3 yr old stud colts and more. Each breed and individual horse learns differently and at a different rate. My skill has been being able to push a horse just enough to get maximum results in a shorter amount of time without over facing them. 
  • When it comes to training sport horse prospects my experience with top-notch show horses has given me the eye to accurately evaluate a prospect for a respective discipline and train them accordingly.
  • I am small, therefore I am light on a horses back which reduces or eliminates soreness. It also makes me a great candidate for ponies. (5'2 and 110lbs) However, don't let my size underestimate my toughness. In 2006 I qualified and competed in both bareback bronc riding and bull riding at the Women's Professional Rodeo World Finals. I'm not afraid of a little rodeo, and don't back down from a fight!










  • Most importantly I've had success!!! My past horses (all which started as untrained) have gone on to win Circuit Championships, USEF Pony Finals, A.A.Y.H.S. 2X Grand Championships, State Champions, and wonderful seasoned children's/AA mounts.
