Training Methods

​At Twisted Clovers we use natural methods that help the horse problem solve as well as look for guidance. We start slow and soft adding to the foundation we create as the horse conquers their steps to become a quiet, well rounded horse. ​We work on and off the ground at all angles so that your horse is ready for any environment. Your horse will be exposed to many training tools that establish trust and willingness to follow a person's leadership role. We build bonds and create a team unparalleled to any others. ​ We use bending and flexing of the neck and poll for a soft, flexible mouth and neck. Movement of the shoulder, barrel, and hips so we can move any body part, work with collection, and set up for lope offs. ​​Leg pressure is used so that your horse doesn't have to guess what is next and has a firm direction to go. Leg pressure also aids in relaxing on the bit, and reliant on the rider and seat.

Why Twisted Clovers?
​We're ready to match the pace of your horse. We want to make sure they are comfortable and confident in their training and understand their new tasks. We are not worried to spend more time than expected in day to day routine to reassure the mindset of your horse. ​​Comfortable and trusting horses are easier to be around! We will work hard to get your horse there. We listen to your goals and dreams with your horse and work side by side with you to keep you both a safe and happy team.
