Description of Full Training

Full Training is suggested for those that own their own horse and would like assistance in all aspects of care and training of that horse. We help you every step of the way from scheduling of medical care and farrier, bathing, clipping, show prep, scheduling of transportation to horse shows, to paperwork and memberships of horse shows.

All horses that are in full training with Royal Oak are treated as though they were are own. They are checked over, doted on, and loved daily. The training packages are made up of units and each package is tailored to your individual horses needs.

Full training is 4-6 units with a maximum of 3 units being used for lessons per week.

Special Full training is 6-9 units and you may use more than 3 of them for lessons.

Units may be used in the following ways:

Description of units

� a lesson for you on your horse

� a training/schooling ride for the horse

� a lungeing session

� a turnout

� graze

� hand walk

The combination in which the units are used is up to you and your horses specific needs and schedule. Royal Oak will make an evaluation of your horse and assist you in determining a combination of training units that will work for you.

Example 1 : an older, well educated horse may need only 1 schooling ride per week, maybe the owner would like to take 3 lessons per week, and then have him grazed and/or perhaps a turnout on another day. This uses 5-6 units.

Example 2: a young green horse may require 3 schooling rides per week, the owner would like to take 2 lessons and have the horse lunged one day. This would use all 6 units.

As you can see the combinations are endless but we have found this is the best way to accommodate for the varying horses and riders in our program.

Training packages may be split amongst members of the same family on that horse but may not be split between horses.

Maintaining each horse with proper supplements is very important to us. We prefer to use the Smart Pak system and each Smart Pak is designed and ordered specifically to meet each horses individual nutritional needs. From too hyper to too lazy, from too skinny to too fat, old and young we can help you and your horse reach a correct and balanced level of nutrition.

Prices range from $25 to $150 per month. Service and supplements included.

or $40 if you would prefer that we feed your pre-purchased supplements

Emphasis for all those participating in Training will be on the Hunter/Jumper style, focusing on the improvement of horse and rider in and out of the show arena, both in hunter, jumper and equitation classes.

Maintaining horse health will be the primary goal of trainer and rider. Bi-annual veterinarian clinics will be mandatory for all horses in training. This will insure horses will be at their prime, both in and out of the arena.

Royal Oak Stables will provide services to horses as they see fit. We will try to notify owner of extra cost before, but are not required to.
