As a trainer, Robin provides the horses with the opportunity to
express themselves and still be responsive to a riders requests.
Dulling them down and dominating them is never a thought in
training them, nor is it evident in her actions towards them. She
takes the time necessary to develop a relationship with each horse,
and to instill confidence in them all.
Our training facility here at Mustang Hollow allows the horse to live
in a natural setting. In this environment, there is rarely a horse
without a sense of purpose, which helps to keep their brains
functioning at full power, and their social and self-preservation
instincts intact. With plenty of turnout and the freedom to wander
off for feed in any direction, this socialization that occurs within a
herd prepares a horse to be at his best, both mentally and
physically, for each lesson.
It will be our pleasure to work with both you and your horse!

It is very important to
give these horses time
to think things through.
This leads directly to the
experience of success,
and it gets the trainer
and rider there faster
than any other
approach. The physical
body of these baby
horses are generally
developing well up into
the age of 5, of course
much of this depends
upon the breed, but if
we put a slower start on
these babies we will
have fewer physical and
emotional issues with
our horse and they will
stay sound much longer
as they age.

Colt starting, help with training issues and/or just a tune up on a fairly
good mount. We'd be delighted to welcome your horse for a stay here in
the "Hollow." We recommend that a horse receives at least 2 months of
training at our facility and that the owners are involved during the
training process by spending a minimum of 1 session per week with the
horse with on-hands help from us.
2 and 3 year old colts: we recommend an initial 30 days of training
which includes fundamental groundwork, first ride plus as many rides as
the youngster is ready for, exposure to lot's of human activity, some rope
work around the legs and feet as well as hobbling to prepare a horse to
understand about standing still to wait for a human to rescue them if they
ever get caught in wire. After this initial 30 days of training we
recommend the baby be turned out on pasture to process and allow their
bodies and brains to grow for another 6 months to a year.

After your baby has had time to grow more, mentally and physically, let's put another 30 days of
training on them. We can reinforce and enhance their skills as a riding horse who might be used
for any discipline. Robin will help your horse learn about lateral as well as vertical flexion,
separating forehand and hindquarters, smooth transitions and balanced turns. All preparing your
horse to be soft and willing through basic to upper level movements in whatever discipline you
choose.
