Welcome to our training facility! Also known as our backyard. I just wanted to share the idea that you don't have to have a high-tech barn and driving course to prep a horse for competition. We've allowed the back 5 acres of our property (well, actually my parent's property) to grow up. We maintain a course throughout the area that allows for various turning radiouses, we have a water hazard (when the river is up), and a cones area. We have really worked with nature to create a fun, low-tech course. We also maintain most of the course throughout the winter for sleighing. We do the summer maintance with a lawn tractor and the winter course is rolled with a power trak. Draken is allowed to graze on the course during certain times of the year.
