Starting your horse's performance future
How young do I start a horse
This is a question that I am asked everywhere I go. It's an important question. Unfortunately, there is no one set answer. I will have 2 questions for you:
1. What standard do you want the finished product to end up as?
2. Has a vet or knowledgeable horse person assessed your horse physically?
There are many variables that come into play when you are considering training any horse regardless of the age. Some mentors of mine have worked a baby as young as three days old in the round pen. The lesson was simple, go left, go right and stop. It was done at the walk and the mother was right there.
What's covered in the starting of your young horse.
No stone is unturned when your horse comes to Avalon Reign. Jason personally takes your horse through all stages of the starting process. Jason will cover:
Balance before movement
Hindquarter control
Round yard reasoning
In hand bridle skills
First saddling
Tying up
Bit and bridling
Feet preparation for shoeing or trimming
Washing & hosing
Responsiveness from the legs
Spooky objects
Trail rides
Lateral flexion
Forwardness into the contact
Rhythm
Straightness
Your investment into your horse's future will be, $1760 including hard feed, hay & tax. Jason has packaged the starting process for your convenience. This process will take approx 6 weeks (30 sessions) depending on the horse.

Testimonial
Since moving to Victoria from Perth WA my partner and I Warren Beale have been closely associated with Jason McInnes Performance Training & Horsemanship. Throughout my extensive travelling around the Australian Racing Carnivals with one of my most successful horses Polygram ($420,000 in winnings), I have encounted many horseman. None of them have impressed me so much as Jason has with his ability and talent with race horses. Jason's ability to encourage the horse to willingly give his all is truly remarkable. Our horses have thrived under the mental, physical and emotional pressures of racing, which we attribute to Jason's diligence and ever willingness to learn and strive to improve our connection with our equine counterparts. His horsemanship skills have given us a solid foundation for our horses to continue to be competitive in an ever challenging racing environment.
