Our main priority is to ensure the safety of all personnel and public working in proximity to the horses as well as the welfare of the horses themselves. Every possible effort is made to ensure the safety of our animals and to comply with all rules regulating their humane treatment while under working conditions.

We transport our horses with shipping boots to prevent leg injuries and fly masks to protect their eyes. While trailering we provide rest breaks every
2-3 hours so that they are not fatigued or unduly stressed by the transport process. During these rest breaks the horses are off-loaded from the trailer, provided with water and walked so that they have chance to stretch their legs. High-quality feed is always available in the trailer during transportation and at all rest stops.

While our performance horses are high-caliber athletes who are capable of completing 50 miles rides across difficult terrain in under 7 hours, they are treated with the utmost care. We perform multiple health checks on the horses every day, whether at home or at events, to make sure that they are not over-worked or injured.

When the horses are not actively working, our wranglers monitor them and see to their care, providing feed & water at all times. They are groomed and checked so that they are comfortable, rested and ready for the next educational presentation.

Our training techniques are humane and never based on force. We prepare our horses using positive rewards and correct choice conditioning so that they become willing partners with their riders. The trust and bonding that result helps horses overcome their natural fears or undesirable behaviors.

Horses have distinct and highly individual personalities that predispose them for certain tasks. Several of our horses are very curious and inquisitive by nature which makes them ideal candidates for handling props with their mouths. These horses also are natural hams that enjoy being the center of attention, have no fear of cameras and love to give a "performance" making them ideal for crowds, parades, festivals and lights and cameras.
