TNC SALE HORSES

Horses that enter the TNC training program receive a unique experience. One primary reason that it is unique stems from the use of the herd. Our horses are lucky to live in a herd environment, and in the herd, we have both mares and geldings. The balance of mares and geldings in large fields provides horses the most natural setting to feel safe. Both mares and geldings have roles within the herd for setting rules, boundaries and at the same time, guiding and providing a loving environment where they rely on each other for comfort and safety. Horses do have a hierarchy, and that hierarchy does result in horses kicking and biting and getting bruised up on occasion. But after all the boo-boos, horses do find peace in their herd environment, and most importantly, they also find relaxation, the key to training.

Horses that are relaxed are open to learning in the human's world.

Our horses go through a process called Q.U.I.E.T.

Q = QUARANTINE is important to not allow any communicable diseases into the herd and allow the horse to get to know the owner

U = UNDERSTAND the horse in front of you, learn his/her personality so you can help the horse make better choices

I - INTEGRATE the horse into the herd thoughtfully

E - EDUCATION on the ground is essential for a horse's future, ground work exercises start when the horse feels comfortable in the herd environment and is showing relaxation

T - Training the horse takes time. You must have the TIME to put into the horse.

Within this process, horses are learning how to isolate their body parts, be respectful partners on the ground and under-saddle, and are exposed to both arena riding and trails with obstacles.
