Street Our fourth stage of training begins with mounted work as 2-year-olds and continues until the horses are sold. The horses are taught to respnd to leg pressure and seat position. The trainer focuses on teaching the horse to respond to light cues and collect at the walk, trot and canter. Once the horse is performing consistently under saddle, we take them through obstacle courses and out on the streets. The horses are trained to advance over, under, and through obstacles with exposure to traffic, bridges, creeks, trains, crowds, and many other scenarios that could be encuntered on active duty. We also teach our horses to ride in ranks and other cavalry style drill formations.
