Rodman Stables is pleased to offer full training. This simply means that we offer 5 day-a-week horse training in the Saddle Seat discipline. While our instructor has experience in other "seats," Saddle Seat is the primary style of riding and training done at our farm. We specialize in the American Morgan Horse. A horse in "full training" with us will be worked (exercised/trained) 5 times a week for about 30 minutes a day. Working can include Riding, Long-Lining, Jogging, or Lunging at the trainer's discretion. Some barns work horses 6 days a week, but we believe that horses enjoy their weekends almost as much as trainers do! A horse in "full training" will be groomed before and after their daily work session. Each horse kept in training is clipped once a week, and are bathed as needed. Rodman Stables strives to present clean horses and a clean facility each day. Expect attention to detail and great customer service as a client with a horse in training with us! Clients are encouraged to schedule a time each week to visit the barn and watch their horse work or take a lesson. Most training clients find it easiest to visit on Saturdays, but we are flexible, and encourage weekday lessons. Also, clients with a horse is training may find it helpful to take lessons on our lesson horses from time to time to build strength, confidence, and skills that can be applied to their own horse.     Our Full Training Contract is Available In Person Only.   Miniature horses in Full Training get a reduced board rate..ask us!     Click Here! Horse & Rider Profile

"Eire Crest Raymond," Yvonne's english pleasure morgan, enjoys his training outdoors on nice days! Raymond is a shining example of how happy a show horse can be at Rodman Stables. Using a combination of long-lining, driving, riding, and a turn-out once in awhile keeps Raymond happy, bright, and willing.	Raymond is a game, 'punchy' mover and is always trying to please. He is easily offended and can be nervous if he thinks someone is not pleased with him. He is what we call a "one owner" horse; a horse who does best when trained/handled by one person. Yvonne has enjoyed working with him and will show him when she can this summer.

Nancy Rodman's western morgan is in training as well. Even "finished" show horses need to be kept in training to keep them sharp, focused, and in shape to perform. Also, having a trainer correct horses when they make a mistake is good to keep them from forming bad habits. That is why most amateur and junior exhibitors keep their show horses in training year round.	We just love this little black Morgan. He's great for Nancy; very safe and experienced, but he does rise to the occasion at the horse show! He will most likely stay with us, even if Nancy steps up to a fancier horse eventually, because he is suitable to teach riding lessons as well. Congrats to Nancy on her fourth and fifth placing at your first horse show!
