Training

Cedar Elm Stables offers several different training packages. We will in some cases start a horse from the ground up. Teaching ground manners, as well as lunging, clipping, loading etc. All horses in our training program are ridden by a qualified trainer. Horses are taught to stand still when mounted. Stay balanced while working all gaits. They are taught to stay soft left to right with beautiful changes. We teach our horses to enjoy their work over fences. We will be sure to never over fence your horse. We take training very seriously and train according to the horses capabilities never asking for more than the horse is ready to give. Horses may be put into full time training, or a training / lesson program that includes the student learning how the horse is being trained. Our trainers will also show your horse to get the necessary show miles.
Our trainers also offer individual training rides.

Showing
CES is a show barn and we go to as many horse shows as we can. CES will do as much of DHJSC, AHSA, AQHA and NTHJC as we are able to do. Riders are encouraged to do as many horse shows as possible.   Students who show received every sixth haul FREE. Although we do not “Chase points,” we will not stand in your way if you choose to do so. We want all out riders to remember that horse showing is to be fun and we do it to have a good time. Riders are encouraged to learn how the divisions are set up, points are earned, courses are designed and how strides are measured. They are always learning while getting to do what they love. That is what riding is about.
