Capt'n Hook and TLC
Horse Training

 


Trainers Rob and Tami  joined forces in September 2006 to open their training facility in Austin, MN. The two bring years of training experience, expertise and horse ownership.

If you have a horse that bucks, rears, spooks, won’t clip, load or the myriad of other problems that horse owners encounter, then Hook and Tami can provide the solutions. They will also "start" your horse so you finish it yourself if you prefer.

Hook, formerly of the Minnesota Horse Training Academy in Ogilvie, MN, and independent trainer Tami, of Fargo, ND, specialize in putting an excellent foundation on horses that will maximize the horse’s ability to reach his/her potential in any chosen discipline. They also train trail horses to their fullest potential for either show or trail and re-train problem horses.

The team stresses the philosophy of “getting into the horse’s mind.”

“Our motto is ‘Training the Mind, Body and Spirit,’ of the horse,” says Tami. “Any horse that has gone through our program will be equipped to handle nearly any discipline they choose provided the horse is physically adept in that specific field. We believe in letting the horse ‘tell’ us in which discipline they are best suited. Just because you may want your horse to be western pleasure horse doesn’t mean it can be. It might be more suited for reining, trail or endurance, for example.”

As part of their training procedure, all horses are checked prior to training for any signs of physical problems with the Sumerel Therapy System(tm) STS-2, (the light therapy system that can pinpoint and treat physical problems with light therapy). The first scan and treatment is included with the training.

They accept any age and breed of horse, but reserve the right to decline. Current limited openings. Signed contract required. Training rates include board. All horses are fed HS-35 (www.hs35.net) as a part of their feeding program. Equine nutritional consultant on staff.
