Southern Horsemanship
.... First Step To Success
Drew has several options for helping you in the training of your horse. Whatever it is that you want to achieve with your horse, Drew can help you reach that goal. He achieves excellent results from every horse that enters his program. We work with all types of horses and riders. Our training program includes colt starting, problem horses, continued training & advancement, trailer loading, lessons and clinics. We encourage you to come out and see our state of the art facility, look at the horses and watch us ride other horses in training. Whether you are just getting started with horses, trail ride every weekend, or you are headed to the show pen, we have a program for you! Call Drew to discuss your horse and a training program for you!
Drew believes that you only get one first ride, so you have to make the best of it. You only have one chance to lay down a solid foundation from which everything will grow on. This intial foundation will be with your horse for the rest of his life, so you want to make sure it is done properly. Much attention and detail is focused on making sure that the initial training is as stress free as possible for the horse, and also catered to the specific needs of your horse, building on their strengths, and eliminating their weaknesses. This training process lays down a solid foundation, which will allow you to build on and progress rapidly in any discipline. We ask that you leave your horse for at least two months for initial colt starting.
It’s very common for a horse to develop problems throughout its life that a horse owner can’t fix without professional help or guidance. Drew's program breaks down the bad habits once step at a time and instills and rewards good behavior. Horses that come in for problem solving truly have a different outlook on riding when Drew is finished.
People often think that since we specialize in performance and sport horses that we would not help a recreational horse and rider. It is important to understand that performance horse training translates to any discipline; it is the complete training package. Any horse can benefit from gaining the training and understanding that we offer. All horses deserve an education. We also have 8 miles of trails with big, flowing creeks and bridges to help get your trail horse used to everything you will encounter while out on the trail with you.
It is our desire to help you and your horse compete at the level you are comfortable with. The beauty of the NRHA is that it provides a level for all to compete at their skill level and comfort level. There are classes offered all the way from Green as Grass rider to the experienced Non-Pro. We take horses in that may have had a previous show career but need some tuning up before you are able to ride and show it again. We also take in horses that are currently showing and give them a consistent workout through the week to be ready to show on the weekend.
We love finding, starting, training, and sending futurity horses to the show pen. Our feeling on a true futurity prospect is that they are a special young horse with raw talent that does not have to be pushed; they just excel naturally. They are the exceptional athlete that would go to waste if not challenged, crave learning and have the ability to match. We are always on thelook out for the exceptional colt that has potential for great success.
