 This site is #1 in the search engines for Free Horse Training Tips. There are over 30 pages of miscelleanous things that are commonly asked on various bulletin boards. How to teach your horse to lunge, how to train better lope departures, what to do about a dropped shoulder. I get lots of positive comments about my section on Riding Skills for Working Moms. Check them out and see if there is something that will help you. But if you want to train your horse thru all the correct foundations to a fine tuned all around horse, sign up for the Online Clinic. If you need some hands-on knowledge, come to one of my 3-Day-Clinics. Do you need a set of eyes on the ground? Sign up for the online coaching. Maybe your horse needs some hands-on knowledge. Check out my training page. Julia Slater Phone: 620.295.0241 Email: Julia@Slaterhorsetraining.com |

1964-1980 I grew up in Germany, taking dressage and jumping lessons from age 5 on. 1980-1983 Moved to CT, went to boarding school in PA. 1983-1986 Worked in WY, primarily for outfitters, dude ranches and hunting camps. 1986-1997 Married and had two kids, worked for cattle ranches in WY, OR, NV, ID, and MT. Began starting colts for the public in 1990. 1997-2000 Divorced, then moved to NY to take a computer related job. But I ended up starting and trouble shooting warmbloods for several barns in the southern NY area. 2000-2002 My son had a hard time in New England, so I moved my family back to a rural area... Dighton, KS. I took a job riding pens (cowboying) at a large feedyard, still starting colts and training horses for the public while riding at the yard. 2002-2006 Quit my job to concentrate on training horses, till personal tragedy in 2006. 2006-200? Went back to riding in the yard (still training outside horses... LOL, story of my life). After 17 yrs of starting colts for the public, I finally burnt out on it in 2007. The first 30 days in a colts training shouldn't be 9-5 work for the person doing the teaching. So, at this time I don't take unbroke colts anymore. But I still take horses that have been started for further training. The feedyard is the optimal place to give any horse the kind of experience he can use for the rest of his life. To find a training log for several horses I took to the yard, click on these HorseCity.com posts... Palomino 5yr old Mare Sorrel 3 yr old Mare Sorrel 6 yr old Gelding |
