It takes two weeks and costs between $1,500.00-$15,000.00 per event to become a certified HA trainer. (This is paid to Alex) You can only be a certified HA trainer in three different events. You can only train 25 horses at a time. It takes two weeks to train one horse. A horse can only be trained in one event at one time.

If you are interested in having your horse trained in an event, your horse must be at least 2 years of age then look at the list of trainers and select a trainer that trains in the event you wish your horse to be trained in. Horses can only be trained in one event at a time and during training cannot compete in shows and events that the horse is being trained in!!!

Once you have selected a trainer you need to e-mail that trainer to find out how much it will cost and if they are willing to train your horse. If the certified trainer agrees to train your horse the trainer is to inform Alex that they will be training a horse in an event

TRAINING TIP
Many horses are naturally spirited, especially in their youth. Even older, well trained show horses have extra energy that builds up through the day. So how do you, as a rider, make sure this energy doesn’t escape while you're on the horse’s back? Well typically the process used is called lunging. Lunging entails taking a thirty foot rope and attaching it to the horse's halter or bridle. After which a long lunge whip is used to entice the horse to circle around you.
A few key points: You do not move with the rope, you stay in one spot and turn with the horse, but do not go forward, or back at any point in time. Use voice commands, such as walk, trot, canter, halt. These commands then can be used when your on the horse’s back. The whip should not be used systematically the hit the horse. Instead, crack the whip down behind the horses back feet. If the horse stops, or comes at you, then feel free to shake the whip, allowing it to touch the horses butt.
