Horse Training at NSAE

Training at NSAE includes working with your horse five days per week, full care board and lessons for the owner. Additional services may be contracted for separately.

Training: Your horse will receive training five days per week. Craig works with the horses in training at NSAE between November and March, and every other month during the overseas clinic touring season. Craig's assistant Samantha Cochrane, as well as his wife Mary Anne Campbell stay in close touch with Craig so that they can continue the work when he's traveling.

Full board: Your horse will have an indoor stall of minimum 12 x 10 dimensions, grass or alfalfa hay four times daily, LMF feed twice daily, and a minimum of 6 hours turnout in paddocks every day. In summer months, turnout may include grass pasture. In winter dressing your  horse in your rain-sheet is included. Any additional feeds or supplements are charged separately.

Out of the Area Owners If the owner lives too distantly (or will be traveling and needs to contract for these services) full care grooming and oversight of farrier and veterinary needs will be included.

Lessons for the owner: You will be taking lessons along with your horse. If you are an owner from outside the area you will purchase a training package that groups your lessons together as an intensive, and may contract for as many additional lessons as your schedule permits.

If you are local, you may choose to come out once a week for a four lesson package, twice a week for an eight, or to group ten lessons as you choose to on the weekends. Intensives are also available for local riders.

If you have a specific concern for your horse, just ask-- we're happy to help sort things out happily for both of you. Owners are always welcome to come watch the training sessions-- in fact, we prefer that you do observe and you are encouraged to ask questions.

The more fully you understand what we are working on, the more you and your horse will be able to continue to develop together.
