Education, Dedication, Equine Solutions
Full-Time Training, Colt Starting, Problem Horses, Tune Ups
I focus on ground training and building a trust relationship with your horse before moving forward.
Horse Consignments
Put your horse in the care of an experienced trainer to market and ultimately sell the horse.
Single-Task Training
– Trailer Loading – Water Crossing – Bridge Crossing – Picking Up Hooves – Pull Backs – Many other single tasks that your horse might be having problems with.
Horsemanship and Riding Lessons
Ground training, riding lessons, roping, or simply working closer with your horse. One-on-one horsemanship or riding lessons “made to measure” for you and your horse’s needs.
Packing Education for Horses and Mules
I share experience and knowledge of best practices, theory, techniques and equipment for safely and efficiently packing mules and horses using the Decker or Sawbuck styles of pack saddles.
Clinics and Symposiums
One, two, three or four day clinics on various topics. Symposiums are 1-3 Hour demonstrations that folks can audit.
Headquartered southeastern Arizona, Elliston Equine Solutions is able to provide unique training opportunities and services.
Horses can be started from the ground up, or taken in for development, problem solving, or refreshers. A trainer has a program or a method; every horse has to fit it… A horseman adjusts to fit every subtle difference that the horse offers.
Clients interested in advancing the bond with their animal or horsemanship lessons cannot find a more peaceful and rewarding experience than riding or having their horses worked, started or gaining knowledge with horsemanship lessons provided by Elliston Equine Solutions. Matter of fact, Elliston Equine Solutions is dedicated to students of the horse that he will come to your location.
