Training...(click here for show results )  

After 10 years of training and showing our own Miniature Horses backed by many years of large horse experience we decided to open our doors to outside horses.  This decision has proved to be a good one as our first year has been one of the most rewarding experiences we have ever had.

We have had wonderful support from clients that have provided us with top quality horses to represent their farms. We look forward to AMHR Nationals in Tulsa with these fabulous equine to display.  Words cannot express the gratitude and personal fulfillment that having these horses in our barn has given us.
  Our methods are a culmination of years of experience working with and watching several trainers and their methods.  We have taken bits and pieces from this and created our own methods that have been successful for us and will be for you too.  If you are looking for that extra edge that can take your horse to the next level we are here to help you achieve that goal.

 

At HHP Training Center, we strive to be on the cutting edge of the Miniature Horse industry.  We are dedicated to the betterment of the breed and displaying them in their best light for future advancement of the breed. We will strive to maintain an open line of communication with you as an owner and client and keep you informed of your horse’s progress along the way.
  While your horse is in training at HHP Training Center, it will receive daily rations of the finest hay available to the area as well as the grain supplement that we feel will best suit your horse’s needs. Vitamin and mineral supplements will be provided in order to assure your horse is in top health both physically and mentally for peak performance.  No performance or enhancement drugs will be given your horse.  Only medically necessary drugs will be administered by or under the direction of a licensed veterinarian.

 

Grooming is an important part of conditioning as a horse coat represents the inner well being of the horse.  Time is given each horse weekly for a complete grooming including deep brushing and conditioning of mane and tail.  In the winter months when bathing is not possible they are vacuumed and blown in order get deep clean for healthy skin that is able to breath.  Frequent inspection of the horse’s body is made to look for any type of abnormality or soreness. 
 

Down time is an important part of training as well, we all need breaks and days off, so do horses.  I maintain a schedule of 5 days a week of exercise and training and each horse get 2 days a week to just be a horse to rest, graze, play, whatever it is that they enjoy doing.  Horses are daily turned out year round unless weather does not permit. 

 

Our barns have 18 spacious stalls available for your horses comfort.  Horses are stalled separately for safety and food management.  Heated water is in each stall during the winter months to encourage drinking and fans are used in the summer when needed to provide a comfortable living environment for your horse.
  Lessons are included in your training and we encourage you to take advantage of this so you can learn along with your horse in order to make the best appearance in the ring.
