Our Services
At Bear Creek Ranch, we offer a comprehensive range of horse and rider training services tailored to all experience levels — from young horses to competitive riders. Our training programs emphasize safety, communication, and long-term success for both horse and rider.
-
A personalized program designed to build a strong, confident partnership between horse and rider. We tailor the approach to meet your goals — whether you're riding for pleasure or aiming for competition.
-
We focus on developing trust, respect, and responsiveness from the ground up. Our ground training includes leading, lunging, desensitization, and basic groundwork exercises essential for a well-mannered and willing horse.
-
From first-time riders to experienced equestrians, we offer progressive riding lessons that develop balance, timing, feel, and control. Advanced lessons can include lateral work, collection, and refining the rider’s seat and aids.
-
We work with horses exhibiting problem behaviors such as bucking, rearing, bolting, biting, or trailer refusal. Our approach is patient, corrective, and results-driven — creating calm, respectful, and safe equine partners.
-
Starting young horses the right way is crucial. We offer colt starting and early development that lays a solid foundation through groundwork, saddle introduction, and first rides - always with a focus on confidence and safety.
-
Whether your horse is returning to work or preparing for a competitive season, we offer structured conditioning plans that improve strength, stamina, and overall fitness — while minimizing injury risk.
-
We expose horses to real-world scenarios such as water crossings, wildlife, uneven terrain, and other common trail obstacles. This program builds confidence and desensitization, making trail riding safer and more enjoyable.
-
Tailored for riders and horses aiming for local or national competition. We provide targeted training in areas such as pattern work, ring etiquette, show preparation, and mental readiness for high-performance environments.
-
We offer one-on-one or group coaching for riders who bring their own horse. Sessions are customized to address specific goals — from improving flatwork to preparing for shows or overcoming specific challenges.
