At Rhinestar Performance Horses, we are fully dedicated to the horses we train and our equine owners.
We specialize in Western Pleasure training and Horsemanship for serious minded adults, amateur and youth. Our program begins with giving you the tools that bring you respect and trust with your equine partner. One of the most important elements we provide is our Natural Horsemanship training which teaches respect and helps to create a safe environment. Secondly, our trainers begin the riding process in order to get the horse to move the five main body parts and bring their training up to an intermediate level. Thirdly, we integrate you; giving you the ability to ride and move the five body parts. Finally, we also have the five C’s: building your Confidence, Correct balance, Coordination, Connection between horse and rider, and Communication skills you’ll need to properly ride.
We also work to develop and teach beginners and young children to be safe and confident riders. We have the background of being in 4-H from a young age to a young adult. We are very aware of the thought processes of children that want to learn and grow in this field. We are fully prepared for children and young adults that want to be able to take it to the next level and those that may even want to become trainers themselves.
We offer starting young horses from the ground up, and will provide the training to make a well broke horse, all the way to a completely finished horse. At Rhinestar, while your horse is in our training program, rest assured that they will receive the best possible care we can offer. We believe that, by treating your horses as athletes, their bodies demand a nutritionally balanced diet as well as a preventive health care program. We offer both nutrition and Chiropractic, Osteopath, Acupuncture and Equine massage from our veterinarian and equine health partners that are the very best in the industry.
We have the knowledge and experience of over 23 years of training horses and in showing as well. Our passion is training horses and teaching those who have the passion and desire to learn and grow with these magnificent animals.

We would love the opportunity to work with you and your equine partner to help you achieve your goals. Please call us for a free consultation and we would love to share with you what our program entails.... See More

30 years experience training, showing, and helping horses become calm, confident, safe, comfortable, and athletic performers. Success on the trail, in the arena, and in the show pen begins by developing your horse's physical abilities and emotional health. This results in a high level of performance that benefits the horse's physical and emotional well-being.

I will help your reiner, western pleasure horse, horsemanship, western dressage, pattern horse, or trail buddy to be the best he can possibly be because he's relaxed, balanced, and comfortable. You don't have to intimidate, force, or punish a horse to excel in the show pen. Happy horses perform better, have a longer career, and have a better life. Horse training can be and should be ethical.

I understand the psychology behind behavior and the mechanics behind movement. I work with troubled horses, gaited horses, show horses, and pleasure horses. I will treat your horse with respect and honor his true nature.... See More

What is Working Equitation?

At the international level, WE is a four-phase sport which combines the art and disciplines of classical dressage with the agility and control required when working horses in the field (ranch horse).

Based on the traditional horsemanship used on continental cattle farms in Europe, the horse and rider are tested on their skill, speed, and accuracy. The sport began as a competition in Italy in 1996 and has since gained popularity worldwide in countries including Portugal, Spain, Mexico and France.

The four-phase competitions are ridden entirely with only one hand on the reins in the walk and canter. They comprise an advanced dressage test, followed by an obstacle course, judged on style. Competitors are then required to ride a timed obstacle course judged on speed with a final element consisting of a cattle-penning test.

At the local level in USA, there are three phases with progressive training levels that allow you to ride with two hands at the walk and trot.... See More
