"Educating horses in the ways of partnership with people."
*** At this times we are not accepting any new, outside horses in for training. ***
The horse training program at MRH provides horses with a solid and diverse education through which they learn to be respectful, confident, and willing partners on the ground and under saddle. In the MRH training program, an emphasis is placed on the well-rounded development of each horse with their mental, emotional and physical development equally considered. This approach ensures a horse's genuine understanding, acceptance, and subsequent participation in the partnership.
MRH welcomes horses of any age, breed, background, and discipline, with a limited number of horses accepted for training into the program at a time to ensure ample attention and an individual focus for each horse. Horses are schooled both in the arena and out on the trail and are regularly exposed to and properly desensitized to flags, tarps, ropes, machinery, water, trail obstacles, trailer loading, tying, etc. while maintaining a healthy sensitization and respect for people.

Horses in training must remain current on health care while in training. All owners must complete the New Client - Horse Boarding and Training packet prior to their horse entering the MRH training program. Owner agrees to abide by the barn rules and policies of the MRH facility.
Please be advised that daily turnout in a social herd environment is provided to all medium to long-term horse residents in the MRH training program. Therefore horses who reside at MRR may not wear metal shoes on their hind feet due to the increased risks of injury they pose in a social herd setting.
