At Eclipse Ranch, we are very thorough with the horses we train and only take a select number at any given time to ensure each horse gets the time they need and deserve. We work with kind and soft hands, and a lot of patience, but also a firm and strong nature when necessary to instill respect and willingness in our colts. Not just one way works with every horse, they all learn differently, so we have many different training techniques, developed over the years of training, to be able to find the perfect fit for each horse's learning style and ability. We focus strongly on the overall health of the horses' mind and body, stretching and flexing horses daily to help soften their top line and build their core and back muscles to make for a "round horse" and not a "hollow horse", this makes the horses happier and makes it easier for them to ride out smoothly and willingly. Please remember that all horses learn at a different pace. We teach and incorporate as much as is appropriate for each horse's learning level. We have cattle as well for training on cutting, sorting and WCH.
