That’s why I’m confident my team and I can help you meet your goals for your horse!

OUR TEAM APPROACH
When you send your horse for training at Gascon Horsemanship. you’re guaranteed a hard-working team around your horse. I (Michael Gascon) and our entire team at the ranch will make sure your horse gets the best possible care and treatment.
As the head trainer, I will be responsible for the training of your horse throughout the entire period he or she is here.
I’LL SET UP A PROGRAM FOR YOUR HORSE AND FOLLOW-UP REGULARLY TO MAKE SURE YOUR HORSE MAKES THE PROGRESS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE YOUR EQUINE GOALS.
As part of that program, your horse will also be ridden and worked by other members of the team such as hired trainers and/or my Gascon Horsemanship Academy students to make your horse as forgiving as possible and used to a change of hands to prevent the dreaded "trainer syndrome"...this happens in many other training programs where your horse has only been ridden by a trainer with total confidence and advanced ability level and the horse is never given an opportunity to make mistakes that can be fixed. We want your horse to know that the answer is the same whether I ask for it, one of my students ask for it, or you do. That's part of what has made our program so successful with lasting results!
Whether it’s me riding your horse or one of my team members, all training follows our Gascon Horsemanship methods and is supervised by me, personally, to ensure top quality.
WORLD-CLASS HORSE CARE
Your horse will get the best possible care at Gascon Horsemanship. We have a full-time nutritionist on staff that will make sure your horse gets all the supplements and the right amount of grain. Breakfast is served at 7 a.m. and dinner at 4 p.m. daily.
Your horse will have free-choice grass hay available 24/7 and his stalls will be cleaned 6 days a week and re-bedded daily to ensure comfort.
YOUR HORSE’S SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY, SO ALL TRAINING HORSES ENJOY REGULAR TURNOUT BY THEMSELVES WITH NO DIRECT CONTACT WITH OTHER HORSES
Turn-out paddocks are rubber fencing with an electric fence barrier and used on rotation for play, rolling, playing in the water tub, and sun time. Each horse receives proper fly spray and sunscreen (if needed) before being turned out and then receives a full bath before coming back inside.
We believe horses need a day to rest and recover just like humans, so all training horses are worked 6 days per week and Sunday is a rest day.
In addition to the full-time nutritionist, we also have a farrier, equine chiropractor, and equine dentist at our ranch regularly. If your horse would need any of these services, feel free to let us know! Our farrier charges $60 for a trim and $150 for a full set of shoes.
**NOTICE** We have a limited number of monthly openings for training horses, so book early to secure your spot!
