Training
Welcome to the Crystal Creek Ranch training program. Our trainers use gentle, thorough methods to ensure a solid result, while 
allowing the horse to learn at its own pace.
Here at Crystal Creek Ranch, we believe that every horse is capable of even the most ‘complicated’ maneuvers - just watch them run and spin and slide everyday in the pasture! Our job as handlers is to learn how to communicate clearly to the horse what it is that we want.
Our training methods are based primarily on the ideas of ‘pressure and release’ and ‘conditioned response’, giving the horse a reason to perform. We have worked personally with nationally recognized trainers such as Ken McNabb, Tracy Porter, Chris Cox and Carly Davis. This training, combined with over 10 years of horse experience, has become our cornerstone.
