Horse Breakers

For information regarding horse breakers look under this Yellow Pages® heading. Horse lovers and horse owners know that if a horse is well trained, it is relaxed, calm and happy and is able to perform at his optimum. Miscommunication, inconsistent training, and the handler misreading the horse’ behaviour can stifle its growth and development and may lead to the development of dangerous behavioural problems. Horse breakers offer many services from weanling and yearling prep, starting, behavioural problems management and correction, and barrier training among others. Horse trainers can help owners break a horse using non-violent methods.

Horse breakers and horse trainers can help owners educate horses from the ground up. There are basic services such as behavioural correction and management, yearling preparation, barrier training, float or truck training, dressage, jumping and cross-country schooling up to race and performance training. Horse trainers provide various services that may include: starting under saddle, education and re-education under saddle, campaigning your horse at events, halter breaking, imprinting & foal handling, ground handling such as tying up, picking up feet, safe leading etc, yearling preparation, harness breaking, float training, rider/handler training/lessons.

The success of a horse’s career depends on its initial experience. Horse breakers know it is important that the horse doesn’t have negative experiences when handled, mouthed, saddled and ridden the first time. Breakers assist horses to come away with a positive outlook, with more confidence and security than when he arrives. Horses that are confident and secure are far less likely to develop behavioural issues. Horse trainers have developed a step-by-step system of training where the horse is allowed to take it’s time, digest the information presented to him, not overloaded with many things at once. He is allowed to make mistakes, explore options and learn from them.
