About Us
We are located an hour and 15 minutes north of Sacramento on the Interstate 5 in Red Bluff.  We are off Live Oak Road at 19872 Live Oak Road Red Bluff, California 96080.
We offer a wide range of services, from training and sales, to instruction, even a riding club especially for trail riders.
Our training program is made up of two trainers:
Our head trainer is Robert Carlson who has over fifteen years of horse experience.  Robert began riding before he can  even remember, and spent most of his time riding bareback through the Alaskan wilderness.  As an adult, he has trained professionally in Las Vegas, Arizona, and now the beauty of Northern California has brought him here to Redding.  Read about his Training philosophies on the Right.
Madeleine LeClerc began riding at age 6, and has ridden the local hunter-jumper circuit extensively.  She has ridden with many of the top trainers in the area, as well as several major trainers in the bay area.  She offers quality training and instruction in Hunter-Jumpers; focusing on the fundamentals of safety, balanced riding, and dressage.  Please see her personal website at http://www.extremetrailhorse.com/english

Training Philosophy
When training horses, Robert works with a firm and gentle hand, focusing on building a trusting relationship with the horse.  He puts a strong emphasis on keeping the horse calm and steady.
Robert's horses get most of their training out on the trail, giving them the most hands on experience possible. However he starts all his horses with basic trust building techniques and ground manners, and then graduates on to the basics of reining through round pen and arena work as well.
Robert believes that safety and good horsemanship come first, an prefers to work with the owner or rider of the horse as well, to ensure that both horse and rider will know how to communicate effectively with each other.
