Training

Maverick Ranch offers training for the horse and rider. Our program is geared toward helping individuals and families learn how to work through common problem areas that horses experience on the trail. Horses learn to adapt to neck reining in field work, but the predominant cues we use are hunter. Our all inclusive fee is $850 per month. Limited spaces are available.

We specialize in finishing family friendly, desensitized, responsive mounts. Training is offered at the Lockhart location. Emergencies? Contact us directly for house calls, which can be taken on a limited basis.
