Fred Thomsson Reining Horses

Training

Fred's training program emphasizes softness, suppleness and correctness in order to build confidence and balance. An attentive horse readily yielding to pressure is the bedrock of solid patterns and consistent mounts. 


Besides bits and training aides, Fred's program centers on the belief that a horse's full potential is only realized by caring for every aspect of a horse's physical and mental well being. By providing first class care in housing, nutrition, farriery, dentistry, and veterinary needs, Fred and team develop athletes only from a solid foundation of physical and mental preparedness.
