Training Programs

Royal Ridge Equestrian Center and Emily Richards, trains the horse from the ground up.  Starting with the basics of tying, leading, and round pen work.  We teach our horses to respect and enjoy the training process by communicating through their language.  It is our firm belief that if you understand your horses language you will be more effective in communicating with them.  It is also important for us to realize that as communicators, the reward is always more effective than the punishment in any training program  
 
Emily Richards, head trainer of Royal Ridge Equestrian Center, has worked extensively with many breeds of horses including: Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, various pony breeds, Arabians, Paints, Quarter Horses, Mustangs,  Morgans, National Show Horses, Saddlebreds, and more... Every horse is different and requires a different training method, and it is our job as trainers to mold our training programs to each horses needs to have a successful relationship.
