How is the Second Sunrise Program Different?
Every horse that comes through the doors of Second Sunrise is put through the same foundational training program. This program sets the horse up for the rest of its life. We strive to make sure that when a horse leaves our program they are safe, confident, anxiety-free, and a general joy to be around and ride. Samantha and Bailey have learned their method of training through years of perfecting skills working with so many different horses. They use the same process with every horse from your Belgian draft horse to performance Thoroughbreds. Every horse will leave with a solid foundation and we are committed to every horse and their education no matter the discipline. |
Training for You!
We have an open door policy for horses in training and encourage owners to come and view training sessions of their horse as they are happening. We want you to leave with your horse feeling successful, comfortable, and capable of continuing their training. We will send you weekly updates with videos of how your horse is progressing. |
