During Basic trail training, horses are introduced to trail riding in general.  They cover basic elements of everyday trail riding such as small water crossings, ditches, riding in the front, middle, and rear of a group, crossing small logs, hills, and anything else that a recreational trail horse needs to succeed as a trail horse.  This category also covers trail horses with problems on the trail such as seperation anxiety, spookiness, jigging, etc.

Extreme trail training is for horses that have already "graduated" from basic trail training or have been assessed by Robert and their training and levels deemed adequate.  During extreme trail training horses extend their training to cover larger and much more complex obstacles.  They learn to add speed and agility while staying calm.  We cover deep water crossings, log jumps, banks, tarps, flags, steeper hills, and more.  Horses in extreme trail training also learn more advanced riding training; they must neck rein, move off leg aids, stop, back quickly, turn around on their haunches and forehand, etc.
