Horse Leasing
Owning a horse is not an option for everyone, and even if it is an option for you finding the right horse to purchase is not always easy. Our leasing program is ideal for those who can not own a horse of their own; those considering purchasing a horse but not yet ready to take on the costs associated with the purchase and resale of a horse until they have more hands-on experience; and for those considering purchasing an R◊ horse or one of the horses we are selling for other clients and want the opportunity to see if the horse is a good match.
In addition our Curly horses are hypoallergenic which means that even those who are allergic to horses can ride and enjoy a horse through our lease program.
For more detailed information on our horse lease program visit our horse lease page.
Horse Sales
We do not sell unstarted horses. Select Curly horses are available for sale however we are quite selective in who we sell these horse to as we want to ensure the buyer is getting what they want and need, and the horse is getting what he needs.
We also have horses from a variety of breeds that we are selling on behalf of other individuals
Horse Training
Our Diamonds Ranch takes in a limited number of horses for starting and behaviour modification.
Our trainer, Tammy Thompson, using her unique Fusion™ techniques which give your horse a firm foundation to build upon. The Fusion Training techniques are also ideally suited to modifying and correcting bad behaviour.
We have an ongoing waiting list for horses to be accepted for training. If you have a horse you would like to have added to this list please contact us
Horse Handler Training
Having your horse trained with a proper foundation is important. Even more important than that though is being able to understand your horse and his/her behaviour, and being able to properly communicate your desires to your horse. Tammy will work with you one-on-one or in groups teaching you the communication skills and techniques you need to work with your horse and others.
Hoofcare Training
Farriers are not only becoming harder to find, but also more costly. Simple barefoot maintance of your horse is easier than it seems and this seminar will provide you with the knowledge of equine physiology and trimming techniques that you need to trim your own horses.
Equine Financial Management For Youth
Almost every child dreams of owning a horse at some time. Few, if any, dream of the financial costs involved in owning that horse. In our unique program a horse is leased for your child using the R◊ leasing program. The child is then given a sum of R◊ currency. We will work with the child to help them develop a care program for their horse. The child will be billed for the costs associated with the choices they have made for their horse, and they pay this bill using their R◊ currency.
This program allows a young person to learn about all of the decisions that have to be made in the care and keeping of a horse, as well as teaching money management and the high costs associated with horse ownership.
Farrier Training
In conjuction with Larry Nault of Steppin' On The Frog Farrier Service, we will be offering a full farrier course beginning in the fall of 2010. The course will cover equine phsyiolgy, forging, trimming, and shoeing, with a large amount of hands on training and work with live horses.
